Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron filed a 22-count defamation complaint against Candace Owens in Delaware Superior Court seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The complaint catalogs Owens' social media posts, podcasts, television appearances and other statements alleging that Brigitte Macron was born male, stole another person’s identity to transition, and that the couple are secretly blood relatives in an incestuous relationship. The complaint describes the allegations as demonstrably false, invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust and asserts they have caused tremendous damage. Owens has continued to publicly repeat and amplify the claims and make additional inflammatory statements. Emmanuel Macron said he will pursue the litigation until a verdict to defend his honor. Brigitte Macron is 72, has three children and seven grandchildren, and married Emmanuel Macron in 2007 after first meeting him when he was 15.
In July, the Macrons sued Owens in the Delaware Superior Court, seeking compensatory and punitive damages in a 22-count complaint that lists Owens' comments from social media posts, podcasts, television shows, and elsewhere insisting that Brigitte Macron was a man and stole another person's identity to transition to a woman, that the Macrons are secretly blood relatives in an incestuous relationship, and other conspiracy theories about the couple.
These claims are demonstrably false, and Owens knew they were, the complaint argued, adding that the lies were invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust and have caused tremendous damage to the Macrons. Since the complaint was filed, Owens has remained defiant, continuing to publicly attack the Macrons and insist that Mrs. Macron has a penis and claim they would fake her death in order to avoid discovery in the lawsuit.
