Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, are planning to present photographic and scientific evidence to a US court to prove Mrs Macron is a woman.
Their lawyer says the French president and Mrs Macron will present the documentation in a defamation suit they have taken against the right-wing influencer Candace Owens after she promoted her belief that Brigitte Macron was born male.
Ms Owens' lawyers have responded with a motion to dismiss the claim.
Speaking to the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast, the Macrons' lawyer in the case, Tom Clare, said Mrs Macron had found the claims "incredibly upsetting" and they were a "distraction" to the French president.
"I don't want to suggest that it somehow has thrown him off his game. But just like anybody who is juggling a career and a family life as well, when your family is under attack, it wears on you. And he's not immune from that because he's the president of a country," he said.
Mr Clare said there would be "expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature" and while he would not reveal, at this stage, its exact nature, he said the couple were prepared to demonstrate fully "both generically and specifically" that the allegations are false.
"It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward," he said.
"It is a process that she will have to subject herself to in a very public way. But she's willing to do it. She is firmly resolved to do what it takes to set the record straight.

“The allegation originated in fringe online spaces years earlier, notably through a 2021 YouTube video by French bloggers Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey.
The Macrons initially won a defamation case in France against Roy and Rey in 2024, but that ruling was overturned on appeal in 2025 on freedom of expression grounds, not on the basis of truth. The Macrons are appealing the decision.
In July, the Macrons filed a lawsuit against [Candice Owens] in the US. It alleges she ‘disregarded all credible evidence disproving her claim in favour of platforming known conspiracy theorists and proven defamers’”.
About time. I said that months ago. Just get naked with a team of neutral doctors or do a DNA test.
Get this talk over.
I don’t believe these idiots are dumb enough to trust a U.S. Court. They need to keep that crap in France. Their judgees can’t be nowhere as corrupt as our judgees are. We’ve got an idiot sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court who claims she doesn’t know what the hell a woman is. Brigitte needs to stay the hell away from SCOTUS. They can’t help her.
Photos are not scientific evidence, just get tested for XX chromosomes, end of the issue.
Why exactly do they continue to avoid such a simple test?
I am not saying his partner is male or female, literally just have to wonder why a test which can so easily disprove the claim keeps being avoided.
It begs questioning by a reasonable person.
Presenting your own evidence as the only evidence is hardly a fair hearing.
Why are they even engaging in this? Aren’t there more important things to occupy their time?
Gee...this is impossible according to Democrats.
A simple DNA test would make this all go away and win their case. The rest is not necessary.
“photos”. Ohh I think the doctors can get way more personal than that.😳
No pictures, PLEASE!..............................
Which is odd, in that nobody seems to know what a woman actually is.
(or, apparently what 'scientific evidence' means...)
Maybe ‘Big Mike’ 0bama can go next? LOL!
Maybe they could just hand Mrs. Macron the TV remote control and see if she chooses reruns of ‘Friends’ over ‘Dirty Harry’?
I don’t understand Candace Owens’s argument. Where does she believe Mrs Macron’s children came from?
Trans males have a holy grail, so to speak, and that is to pass as a woman on close examination. There are many talented surgeons, perhaps even those who could be said to be artists.
I am a woman and one who leans toward the girlie end of the spectrum. If you tried to make me watch “Friends,” I might smack you with the remote.
she should not give this the time of day.
