EXCLUSIVE: Brigitte Macron ‘resolved’ to give evidence to prove she’s a woman | Fame Under Fire

The Macrons are suing influencer Candace Owens for defamation.

This exclusive interview reveals that Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, are planning to present photographic and scientific evidence in their US lawsuit to prove Mrs Macron is a woman.

It’s part of a defamation suit they have taken against the right-wing influencer Candace Owens after she promoted a theory that Brigitte Macron was born male. Ms Owens’ lawyers have responded with a motion to dismiss the claim.

Owens’ lawyers have responded with a motion to dismiss, arguing that the case was filed in Delaware, where her businesses are incorporated, rather than in Tennessee, where she lives.

The BBC has approached Candace Owen’s legal team for a comment. She has previously said she believes what she is saying is true and there is nothing more American than free speech, the ability to criticise.
