The implications here are terrifying.”Candace Owens continues claiming that First Lady Brigitte Macron was born a manThe Macrons filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens on July 23, 2025, for her claims about First Lady Brigitte Macron.

And right now, we’re obviously looking and talking with lawyers. We do not really need the money at this moment,” she said.Meanwhile, First Lady Brigitte Macron and President Emmanuel Macron are seeking damages for the claims made by Candace Owens, following a trial, as per People magazine.A spokesperson for Candace Owens spoke to the outlet about the lawsuit, saying that the First Lady was allegedly attempting to “bully” Owens after the latter requested an interview.
