Here is the story: Candace Owens has been pushing a horrific lie about France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron. She has claimed that Brigitte was born a man. This is a lie. A fact free, conspiracy theory, disproven lie. But, Candace keeps pushing it.

France's first couple plans to seek "substantial" damages from U.S. influencer Candace Owens if she continues claiming that President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte, is a man.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. on Wednesday against right-wing influencer and podcaster Candace Owens, centered on her claim that France's first lady is male.

The right-wing podcaster, who has been at the center of hate-speech allegations, responds directly to the French president's lawsuit in her podcast.

Owens’ claim is one example of a wider trend of conspiracy theories targeting prominent women in politics and culture, including former first lady Michelle Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
