French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, are suing U.S. conservative influencer Candace Owens for defamation. Their lawyer, Tom Clare, stated that the suit, filed in Delaware, is a last resort after a year of failed attempts to get Owens to retract her claims that Brigitte Macron is a man. Owens, who has a YouTube channel with 4.5 million subscribers, dismissed the suit as a PR strategy. The lawsuit includes extensive evidence proving Brigitte Macron's identity. The Macrons have faced similar conspiracy theories in France, resulting in previous legal battles. This incident follows a recent video showing Brigitte Macron appearing to push away her husband, an incident Macron later downplayed.
