"The British broadcaster BBC has now announced that both plan to present photographic and scientific evidence to dispel this claim, which has been dragging on for years. The lawsuit was filed in the United States against far-right influencer Candace Owens. The 218-page document, filed in the state of Delaware, accuses Owens of spreading absurd, defamatory, and completely fictitious statements. Among the main claims made by Owens, known for her support for Donald Trump and transphobic remarks, was that Brigitte Macron was born a man."
"Furthermore, the influencer has claimed that the president and first lady are blood relatives and that Macron is the product of a CIA human experiment or a government mind-control program. A leap forward, so to speak, compared to previous conspiracy theories. Speaking to the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast, Thomas Clare, the Macrons' lawyer in the case, explained that both scientific and photographic evidence will be provided. This includes images of Brigitte Macron during her pregnancy and while raising her children,"
"If the lawsuit is successful, the couple would also have to travel to the U.S. to testify in a jury trial. The case, however, originated on the other side of the Atlantic. The story began in 2021 on a YouTube channel dedicated to clairvoyance. Amandine Roy, a supposed medium who mixed esotericism with anti-government rants, one day conducted a telephone interview with a woman calling herself Natasha Rey, who claimed to be a journalist."
Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation lawsuit in Delaware against far-right influencer Candace Owens for spreading false claims that Brigitte was born a man. The 218-page complaint accuses Owens of propagating absurd, defamatory, and fictitious statements, including that the president and first lady are blood relatives and that Macron is the product of a CIA human experiment or government mind-control program. The Macrons plan to present photographic and scientific evidence, including images of Brigitte during pregnancy and raising her children, under U.S. judicial rules. The case traces back to a 2021 YouTube clairvoyance channel interview involving Amandine Roy.
