US EditionFrench President Reaffirms Brigitte Macron Is a Woman; to Present ‘Scientific Evidence’ to Clear ‘Upsetting’ Rumours
The Macrons' lawsuit alleges Candace Owens knowingly spread false claims about Brigitte Macron's gender, with planned presentation of photographs and scientific testimony in court.
- In July 2025, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron filed a defamation lawsuit in the US against Candace Owens for claiming Mrs. Macron was born male.
- The legal action came after several years of online accusations that began with a video posted in 2021 by bloggers from France, which the Macrons challenged through litigation in France in 2024.
- Their lawyer Tom Clare said the couple find the accusations deeply distressing and intend to submit visual documentation and expert scientific testimony during the legal proceedings to refute Owens’s claims.
- Clare said the case would involve expert scientific testimony and that Mrs. Macron will undergo a public process to set the record straight, describing it as “incredibly upsetting.”
- The lawsuit implies Owens knowingly spread falsehoods to harm the couple, and the case adds to existing political pressures facing Macron amid widespread protests in France.
