French President Emmanuel Macron is suing right-wing media personality Candace Owens for repeatedly calling Macron’s wife a man, according to court filings released Wednesday.

Macron filed the suit in the Superior Court of Delaware, alleging Owens defamed him and his wife, Brigitte Macron, by claiming on her show and public social media that Mrs. Macron is a man and that the Macrons engaged in forgery and fraud to cover up her true identity. Owens previously stated in 2024 that she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.”

Owens published an eight-part series earlier this year called “Becoming Brigitte” which aimed to expose the supposed true gender of Mrs. Macron.

“These outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions included that Mrs. Macron was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets,” the lawsuit reads.
