Quick Summary

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a second defamation lawsuit against right-wing podcaster Candace Owens, following a previous case that was dismissed by a Delaware judge due to jurisdiction issues. This new lawsuit targets Owens’s use of a doll resembling Brigitte Macron, which the couple claims was used in an attempt to ridicule her appearance. The Macrons’ lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding this latest legal action.

Story summary

The Macron couple has filed a new defamation lawsuit against right-wing podcaster Candace Owens over her transgender conspiracy theory about Brigitte Macron. The latest filing was submitted in federal court in Tennessee, where Owens resides, and targets her two companies, Candace Owens LLC and Georgetom Inc. This follows a July 2025 lawsuit filed in Delaware which alleged that Owens had conducted a "campaign of global humiliation" against the first lady by spreading false claims about her identity. Last month, a Delaware judge ruled that the case could proceed only against Owens’ companies and not personally against her. In response, Owens mocked the Macrons' legal actions, referencing a doll she uses in her YouTube series as a prop to ridicule Brigitte Macron's appearance.
