New Revelation: Brigitte Macron’s Past Legal Victory Strengthens Defamation Case Against Candace Owens.

The news as it trends

Brigitte Macron’s defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens has taken on new weight, thanks to a precedent set in France.

In 2021, Macron and her family sued two women who spread the same false claim that she was “born a man.”

A Paris court found both women guilty of defamation, awarding damages to Macron and her brother.

Though the verdict was later overturned on technical grounds, the court’s initial ruling confirms the seriousness of the allegations.

Owens, who revived the conspiracy in early 2024, now faces 22 counts in a U.S. lawsuit filed by the Macrons.

Adding to Owens’ legal troubles, Macron is reportedly a mother of three from a previous marriage—evidence she can prove, further discrediting the falsehoods.

Critics argue Owens may have copied the original French smear, wrongly assuming American laws would shield her.
