"Now, she's a globally famous conservative firebrand with one of the fastest-growing independent media platforms in the U.S., raking in cash through controversy. But the same contrarian playbook that launched her solo career now threatens the media empire she built. Her company generates up to $10 million in revenues per year, according to an analysis by Fortune, implying that the company's valuation would be multiples of that."
"The conservative podcaster and provocateur is facing a high-stakes defamation lawsuit filed by French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron. The 219-page complaint, filed in Delaware Superior Court in July 2025, accuses Owens of orchestrating a "campaign of global humiliation" by promoting the conspiracy theory that Brigitte Macron was born male. The plaintiffs' weapon of choice: Clare Locke, the law firm that extracted a record-shattering $787.5 million settlement from Fox News on behalf of Dominion Voting Systems-the largest media defamation payout in American history."
"Interestingly, the suit essentially alleges that spreading false information is essentially Owens' business model. The complaint names three defendants: Candace Owens personally, Candace Owens LLC (her Delaware company managing social media and ad revenue), and GeorgeTom, Inc. (presumably named after her husband George Farmer, who is directly involved in the business and operates her website and podcast distribution)."
Candace Owens rose from a mid-tier political operative to a prominent conservative media figure with a rapidly growing independent platform. Her company reportedly generates up to $10 million in annual revenue, suggesting a valuation at multiple times that figure. Owens is being sued for defamation by French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron over allegations that she promoted a conspiracy that Brigitte Macron was born male. The 219-page complaint accuses Owens of orchestrating a "campaign of global humiliation" and names Candace Owens, Candace Owens LLC, and GeorgeTom, Inc. Plaintiffs retained Clare Locke, increasing potential financial exposure and threatening Owens' controversy-driven revenue model.
