Brigitte Macron, France’s First Lady, is stepping into an American courtroom to defend her personal reputation.
The case arises after political commentator Candace Owens alleged online that Brigitte Macron was born male—a claim the First Lady insists is false.
The lawsuit is being closely watched internationally, as it raises questions about misinformation, reputation, and the reach of social media rumors across borders.
Evidence to Include Photos and Expert Testimony
Reports indicate that Brigitte Macron plans to submit personal photographs along with scientific expert statements to prove her identity.
Her legal team, led by lawyer Tom Clare, confirmed that “expert statements of a scientific nature” will be presented to formally refute Owens’ allegations.
The evidence is intended to leave no doubt in court about Macron’s claim and to demonstrate the seriousness of the defamation.
Personal Impact of the Allegations
The First Lady admitted that the rumors have caused her significant personal distress, leaving her “deeply upset.”
Her lawsuit aims to hold Owens accountable for what Macron’s team describes as false and damaging statements, which they say have harmed her reputation both in France and internationally.
Controversy Involving Donald Trump
Adding to the intrigue, Owens previously claimed that she received a phone call from former US President Donald Trump in February.
According to Owens, Brigitte Macron asked Trump to intervene and “shut her up” to prevent her from speaking publicly about the First Lady.
While unverified, the allegation added another layer of controversy to an already sensitive legal matter.
A Case with International Attention
Beyond the personal stakes, this lawsuit highlights the global consequences of misinformation in today’s digital era.
With proceedings taking place in an American court, the dispute has drawn media attention from both sides of the Atlantic, turning it into a story with international resonance.
