Notably, Candace shared a now-deleted YouTube video in March last year claiming the same. Later that month, she said through a post on X (formerly Twitter) that she can “stake” her profession given that her claims are true.In an interview with CNN that took place on the same day that Candace Owens was sued, Brigitte and Emmanuel’s lawyer Tom Clare claimed that they had previously requested that Candace stop commenting that Brigitte was a man. Tom mentioned that the lawsuit is a final attempt to stop the controversy permanently and added:“Each time we’ve done that, she mocked the Macrons, she mocked our efforts to set the record straight. Enough is enough, it was time to hold her accountable.”According to People magazine, the lawsuit has almost 219 pages. Candace Owens also accused the duo of allegedly trying to hide certain facts from the general public, including that Emmanuel became the President of France through a “CIA-operated MKUltra program.”The legal documents claimed that Candace intended to boost her popularity with her claims. Brigitte and Emmanuel are now seeking damages alongside a trial. The lawsuit addressed how Owens used her claims to find her way to fame by claiming that Brigitte was a man, as it alleged:“Owens has used this false statement to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety, and make money. Owens disregarded all credible evidence disproving her claim in favor of platforming known conspiracy theorists and proven defamers.”A day after the lawsuit was filed, Candace Owens responded to the same with a new YouTube video on her channel on July 24, 2025. Owens seemingly stated that she won’t stop making the claims, as she said:“If you need any more evidence that Brigitte Macron is definitely a man, it is just what is happening right now. The idea that you would file this lawsuit is all of the proof that you need.”Candace Owens additionally described the lawsuit as a PR strategy, adding that it was a “good idea” for the First Lady to sue a journalist who is a resident of another country. Meanwhile, the Macrons have not responded to the statements made by Owens after the lawsuit has been filed.
