France’s Macron Sues Influencer Over Transgender Claim Regarding First Lady

Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron are suing Candace Owens in Delaware over her claims that Brigitte is a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother. The Macrons claim Owens' Becoming Brigitte podcast and social media posts are a defamatory campaign of global humiliation. Owens defends her statements as free speech, while the Macrons' lawyers say they only sued after Owens refused to retract her statements. The case raises questions about free speech, misinformation, and accountability for online influencers.
