Macrons to Present Evidence Against Candace Owens in Defamation Suit

The defamation suit was filed in July after Owens publicly repeated claims that Brigitte Macron was born Jean-Michel Trogneux and transitioned at age 30. These allegations originated in 2021 from a French far-right magazine and gained traction through social media. The Macrons' lawyer stated they found the claims 'extremely upsetting' and are willing to subject themselves to public scrutiny to set the record straight. Owens' legal team has moved to dismiss the claim, arguing the Delaware court lacks jurisdiction. This case is not the first time the Macrons have faced such allegations. They previously won a defamation case against two French bloggers who made similar claims, although the ruling was later overturned on freedom of expression grounds.

The Macrons plan to present scientific and photographic evidence, including expert testimony.

The lawsuit was filed in Delaware, where Owens allegedly caused harm through her defamatory statements.

Owens is arguing that the Delaware court lacks jurisdiction and that the lawsuit is a PR stunt.
