Macron couple file second lawsuit against Candace Owens, who claims Brigitte is a man

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have once again filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court against conservative activist Candace Owens. They accuse her of continuing to spread the false claim that Brigitte Macron was born a man.

The new complaint was filed on November 4 in the federal court of the state of Tennessee, where Owens lives. According to the plaintiffs, the activist did not stop after the first lawsuit and began making even more aggressive statements. The couple writes that these claims have caused them 'significant harm' and have turned into a 'campaign of international humiliation.' In their view, Owens is not seeking the truth but fame.

This is the second attempt by the Macrons to defend their reputation in the U.S. Their first lawsuit was filed in the summer of 2025 in Delaware. There, the judge partially dismissed it, ruling that the court could not consider the couple's claims due to lack of jurisdiction. However, the judge allowed the case against two companies linked to Owens to proceed.
