Macron couple sues influencer for defamation again

Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have filed a new defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens, alleging she continues to spread false claims about Brigitte's gender identity. The lawsuit, filed on November 4 in Tennessee, includes 88 counts of defamation and false representations. This follows a previous lawsuit from July 2025, where the Macrons accused Owens of disseminating damaging lies. The new complaint claims Owens intensified her false narratives after the first lawsuit, particularly through her podcast and social media. The Macrons seek damages and a court order to prevent further defamatory statements. Owens responded humorously, stating the lawsuit is about her 'Brigitte Doll', which she claims has never sought attention.
