The President of France and his wife have filed a defamation of character lawsuit against far right podcaster, Candace Owens, for repeatedly claiming the the French First Lady was born a man...
From The Daily Mail
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte today filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens over the US commentator's 'preposterous' claim that the French First Lady was born a man.
The Macrons filed a 218-page lawsuit in Delaware on Wednesday, accusing the right-wing podcaster of publishing 'outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions' that fuelled a lie-filled 'campaign of global humiliation' and 'relentless bullying'.
Owens attacked Ms Macron, 72, in a now-deleted YouTube video posted in March last year, propagating the false claim that she is a biological man.
The American commentator said she based her allegations on a 'thorough investigation' by French blogger Natacha Rey, who is also being sued by the Macrons in a separate claim in France.
Mr and Ms Macron said in a statement: 'Because Ms Owens systematically reaffirmed these falsehoods in response to each of our attorneys' repeated requests for a retraction, we ultimately concluded that referring the matter to a court of law was the only remaining avenue for remedy.
'Ms Owens' campaign of defamation was plainly designed to harass and cause pain to us and our families and to garner attention and notoriety. We gave her every opportunity to back away from these claims, but she refused.
'It is our earnest hope that this lawsuit will set the record straight and end this campaign of defamation once and for all.'
The 22-count complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

Candace has forgotten her place in white society. She’s said so many negative things about black society, she forgot that white people simply used her to demean us black Americans. She will lose her case. We should have checked this sell out long ago. Good riddance. I hope they win. FBA
As a public personality, she shouldn't say that about anyone unless it can be proven.
Make her pay.
Talk about what you know, Candace.
I can’t stand her frog eyes fish eyes looking azz.
We’ll see if her followers donate to her defense! Hope she loses!
Not a lot of faith in his lawsuit because he allows his wife to punk him in public.
Its not defamatory to be part of the LGBT community is it?
France is quite liberal & boldly openly embracing, there are world famous tourist attractions,live stage shows, that feature LGBT peformers.

True that!
Dude looks like a lady
Why say such a thing out loud on a public platform. Duh. This video generation gonna learn. ...when ranting and raving goes wrong. Lol
Candace=weirdo & ugmo.
This story has been reported with receipts in France. Candace isn't the first to report on Brigitte's alleged transformation. In fact, Macron's 'wife' lost a judgement when she tried to get the French courts to shut this story down. Macron even put pressure on Trump to get Candace to shut up about the story but Candace hasn't backed down.
Nevermind the fact that this person was a teacher and preyed on her future husband when he was just 15. I can't believe people are in here cheering for the deviant and shaming the messenger just because she doesn't follow the herd.
May the win.
May they win the entire case.💰 If anybody talked bad bout that jar of mayo Candice married, she would flip out. Like she did when it was pointed out a few years ago he has some sugar in his tank and likes the trans. She was on rampage then. Seems like she forgot what that was like. Most bullies like to point out others fault so nobody will check under there sink. 🎯
It's a He
What the Hallie.

Candance announced on her show, weeks ago about getting letters from Emmanuel Macron to delete the content
She wanted the law suit, because it will expose the truth
in court. She has a very good legal team
They have sued others, and zero success
She said what she said. Facts over feelings. Get over it.
Let's see how far they take this. The burden of proof lies with Mr and Mr Macron. They will have to show the court tangible proof that what Candace said is a lie. My guess is this lawsuit will fizzle out into nothing. It's just a press move to maintain their relationships with other politicians. While the new generations may be accepting of the lifestyle, the older generation currently in politics are not.
About time someone sues that big mouth
