As you may recall, Candace Owens ran a series of podcasts earlier this year in which she claimed the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, was actually a trans woman. A couple weeks ago, the Macrons sued Owens in a US court, seeking damages for 22 separate counts of defamation. There's no dollar amount in the complaint but it's presumably going to run into six or seven figures.
For the record, Owens doesn't deny that there was a person named Brigitte Trogneux who was born a woman. Her story is that at some point, for unknown reasons, Brigitte disappeared and her identity was taken over by another person, her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux who then married Emmanuel Macron.
So now, according to Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron was born a woman, died, and with her dying wish passed on her identity to her brother.
There's no way anyone still believes this crap right?
Come on guys...

There are really two big problems with Owens's theory. First, Jean-Michel Trogneux is still around and has been seen at public events including Macron's inauguration. The other is that Brigitte was previously married and had three children with her first husband. Obviously a trans person can't have children so you have to somehow extend the conspiracy theory to the idea that the kids either aren't really Brigitte's children or that they know their real mom is dead and are pretending their uncle is their mother. It's pretty far out there.
And yet, Owens is still doubling down on this whole story. She appeared on Piers Morgan's show the other day and said she was willing to up a previous bet with Morgan to $300,000.

That's quite a lot of money but it's still probably only a fraction of what's on the line in the lawsuit itself. And that may be why Owens is now wondering aloud why the Trump administration is not speaking up and trying to defend her from the lawsuit.
"If you are Trump, the first thing you should have done if you purport to care about America and our Constitution...you would come out and you would say 'I don't even know whether I believe that she's a man or a woman'...but you should say 'I'm a leader of this country and it's unacceptable that this leader would threaten the First Amendment in anyway,'" Owens said. She added, "The job of the federal government is to defend us against foreign invaders and I would pretty much say Emmanuel Macron right now is being a foreign invader."
Candace Owens appears PANICKED as she calls the Macrons’ lawsuit a "FOREIGN INVASION," begging for Trump and J.D. Vance to intervene: "It's CRAZY that Trump has been silent on this matter."
She also claims the Macrons want to "impoverish her for speaking." Candace and her… pic.twitter.com/E3OIjGcIvI— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) August 7, 2025
She mentions that President Trump called and tried to warn her off this story. Here's what she told Tucker Carlson.
Owens said the initial request to stop talking about the French first lady came from someone “pretty high up” in the White House. She said she found the demand insulting and refused to comply.
Trump later phoned Owens directly about the issue, she told Carlson, saying that the president told her Macron had pulled him aside to ask if he knew Owens. Owens said she was shocked by the request and stated that Trump had been confused as to why he was being asked to intervene.
“Emmanuel Macron personally flew to D.C. and asked Trump to ask me to shut up, to just stop speaking about his wife,” she told Carlson.
That's evidence that Macron was unhappy about it but not evidence he's lying about his wife. If Owens is in fact spreading a lie about Brigitte Macron, as the lawsuit claims, then it's not surprising Emmanuel Macron would make efforts to get her to stop.
As for the "foreign invasion" claim, It probably goes without saying that defamation is a well-understood and widely acknowledged exception to free speech. Owens is being sued for allegedly making false and defamatory claims which, according to the complaint, she knew were false at the time.
As I said in my previous post, that's going to be a high bar for statements about a public figure like Brigitte Macron, but that doesn't mean some of the claims won't pass that bar. And if they do, that's not a foreign invasion or any kind of violation of US sovereignty, it's just the application of US defamation law to Candace Owens.

Macron made Donald Trump the guest of honor at the re-opening of Notre Dame Cathedral. He has always been so classy with gestures like that.
^ and this was before Inauguration.
Don’t know who Stew and Jake are but Tucker is more measured, and a lot more malleable plus willing to change course and admit when he’s wrong or has been for awhile.
Morgan is exploiting a mentally ill person.
In 2017, the RATS went after Republican Judge Roy Moore who was running in a special election for the Senate. As usual, they had to find a woman who claimed that 38 years before, Moore who was allegedly 32 at the time, had allegedly come on to her when she was 14. The media wanted us to believe he was a pedophile. I even said at the time that by the media's standard in 2017, my father would have been labeled a pedophile because of the 16 year age difference when he married my mother in 1936.
RINOS John McCain, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell called for Moore to drop out of the race after the allegations were reported. RATS deliberately make up stories of sexual assaults to destroy people's lives, but when faced with real facts like the Macrons age difference, and the fact that they started dating when he was just 15 and she was 40, they make not a peep.
In the spring of 2017 (I sat here in Europe watching it unfold), the whole dramatic sales-pitch....was a young energetic guy who’d never run for office....basically a stock-broker, who readily admitted around age 15, having a relationship with his 39-year old teacher (1993). Later in his late 20s...he marries the then divorced teacher (then in her early 50s).
French people were all pumped-up over this, and never did anyone suggest anything beyond the student-teacher thing or the age-thing. So this recent suggestion...has made folks ask questions. I’d say 90-percent still believes she’s 100-percent woman.
If you asked me if Brigitte Macron was on tranquilizer’s in the early 90s...when this started up? I’m open to the idea that she was awful goofy in this era. Beyond that, I’m not buying much into the transwoman thing.
I liked what she was saying on Twitter long before she went completely lunatic after joining The Daily Wire. I haven’t paid her a second of my time since she started doing the Israel and Macron wackadoodlery, and that’s been a couple years. She’s nucking futs!
When she started out, I thought Candace was pretty smart. But she has proved her stupidity over and over, especially with this bit about Macron’s wife. Why go there?
Can you even begin to imagine the amount of blackmail going on????
The credibility alone is enough to open this door - and I believe Candace! Where IS ‘Brigitte’s’ brother, Jean, who disappeared exactly when ‘Brigitte’ appeared????
How is misgendering someone defamation?
Owens won a six figure bet from Morgan when the journalists who spent years investigating Brigette Macron and wrote a book about it, were sued in France and acquitted.
Considering Owens work is based on that book and that she has offered the Macrons every opportunity to answer questions and tell their side of the story, it begs the question why the Macrons expect a different outcome in the United States.
Candace has gone the way of the skinny blonde with the long neck......CRAZY TOWN!
The ruling elite in America and Western Europe are irredeemably corrupt. The Jeffrey Epstein situation where numerous high ranking politicians and business leaders frequented his brothers, is evidence of the moral degeneracy. Candace Owens points out that in President Macron's office, there is a book by Andre Gide, a French pedophile, on prominent display. King Charles and other British royals were friends with Jimmy Savile, a notorious pervert and child molester. There are stories about degenerate behavior at Bohemian Grove, and annual gathering of influential Americans. President Nixon called them a group of homosexuals.
Whether Candace Owens is foolish or not in her accusations about the Macrons, the amoral character and degenerate behavior of the elite classes in America and Europe are evident.
Well the Macron attacks don’t do anything useful. The Moore attacks at least had a useful political motive for the Demons 😈
I doubt many people here or elsewhere belive that Michelle Obama is a male.
Just a lot of nasty bile that gets spilled by the reddit-like batshit crazy crowd.
Yeah, nooo .... Candie has jumped the shark, did so a while ago but this Macron thing puts the cherry on top.
I am so glad most comments here agree this is a ridiculous chase. What’s the point? Who cares?
If the Mrs IS a Mr and molested the underage Mr Mr decades ago, who cares anymore? a 14 year old French boy from that time was much different than today’s immature 14 year old infants.
Is Candie just trying to bully anyone to keep her street cred or something? Get the focus off her Jew-hating diatribes?
It makes no sense and she probably won’t be able to redeem herself. Good thing for her she and her Mr are loaded.
But anyway ....
“She also claims the Macrons want to ‘impoverish her for speaking.’”
She + hubby = multi- multi- multi-millionaires.
She seriously is bat-sh!t crazy if she thinks PDJT and Vance are going to HELP HER!
Haven’t followed but He make a good point. She thinks she’s the smartest person in the room.Put up or shut up.
There are four factors in play:
* The collapse of the pretense of objectivity in the legacy media.
* The absence of a Buckley or a Limbaugh with the influence to curb the more radical members of the right.
* The abundant evidence that the ruling elites are both morally corrupt and ruthless, e.g., the attempts to silence, imprison, and bankrupt Trump and his supporters.
* The reaction against cultural Marxism and anti-white discrimination by millions of white men, especially in Gen. Z.
