Candace Owens says Trump’s team warned her to stop mentioning Brigitte Macron’s “penis,” allegedly tied to bizarre peace deal condition

Days after being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron for allegedly spreading lies about Brigitte's sex, Candace Owens claimed that somebody "very close" to U.S. President Donald Trump warned her to stop discussing the topic. For those unfamiliar, on July 23, the Macrons filed a 219-page lawsuit against Candace, claiming that she had launched a "campaign of global humiliation."

Notably, in March 2024, Owens took to X, claiming that she would "stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man." The lawsuit claims that since then, Owens "has used this false statement to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety, and make money."

The American political commentator also released a multi-part series titled Becoming Brigitte, which the lawsuit claims presented various "outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fiction."

Meanwhile, on the August 1 episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, Candace Owens explained that after her multi-part series about Brigitte gained popularity, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, personally flew to DC and asked President Trump to ask her to "shut up" and "just stop speaking about his wife," in February 2025.

She claimed that "maybe an hour" after their meeting ended, she received a message from an intermediary stating that someone "very close to the president of the United States" wanted her to stop talking about Brigitte Macron’s "penis."

"Well, first the person said, 'Somebody very close to the president of the United States is asking me to ask you to stop talking about Brigitte's penis,'" she said.

She explained that at first, she laughed it off and was "rude" to the intermediary.

"I thought maybe I was being a bit short there because I'm nine months pregnant, and I was at the time, I think five or six months pregnant, and I tend to get short the more pregnant I become. And so I called him back and I just said, 'Can you explain to me what's really going on?'" she added.

When she later called them back, she claimed that the individual had told her that the issue had been presented to the US President as a condition for ending an ongoing war.

"No one will ever believe us": Candace Owens recalls her reaction to alleged request from President Donald Trump

Furthermore, in the podcast, Candace Owens explained that she was "completely floored" upon learning from the intermediary that the issue had been presented by the President of France to President Donald Trump as a condition for ending an ongoing war.

"I just took a second, looked at my husband, and the first thing we said to one another is 'No one will ever believe us.' Like this is beyond the realm of things that could be plausible. They're going to think... that I'm lying. And even when I did eventually tell the story months later, people were like this, 'There's no way that this could have happened,'" Owens added.

Candace Owens further explained that her series Becoming Brigitte was based on a book by French journalist Xavier Poussard, who gained popularity for his work of the same name, which explores conspiracy theories surrounding Brigitte's identity.

She explained that he worked on this topic for nearly eight years and was forced to move to Italy with his family due to Brigitte and her husband.
