France President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation in the United States against right -wing influencer Candace Owens. The action, filed with the Higher Court of Delaware, is motivated by a false allegation made by Owens that Brigitte Macron was born man. The information is from Reuters.
In the complaint, the macrons say Owens promoted a “global humiliation campaign” and “relentless harassment” to boost their podcast and expand their followers base.
Among the lies released is the statement that Brigitte was born with the name Jean-Michel Togneux, which is actually the name of the older brother of the first lady.
The complaint highlights the negative impact of this false information, stating that “every time the macrons leave home, they know that countless people have heard and believe in these hateful factory.”
The action seeks compensation for compensatory and punitive damages, although the amount has not been specified.
So far, Owens has not spoken out about the process, and Macron’s office has not commented on the case either.
