Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens on 23 July due to false claims regarding Brigitte's gender identity. The complaint, totaling 219 pages, accuses Owens of orchestrating a smear campaign through an eight-part series that promoted the conspiracy theory. The Macrons claim these false allegations resulted in significant harm and global humiliation. They argue that Owens' actions led to invasive bullying and significant distress, impacting their personal lives and reputations.
The Macrons describe Owens' alleged actions, which included releasing an eight-part audio and video series on the false trans conspiracy theory, as a "relentless and unjustified smear campaign".
The defamation complaint, which is 219 pages long, was filed in Delaware state court on Wednesday and names Owens and her business entities.
Owens has dissected their appearance, their marriage, their friends, their family, and their personal history - twisting it all into a grotesque narrative designed to inflame and degrade.
The result is relentless bullying on a worldwide scale. Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications.
