Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron file a new defamation lawsuit in the United States against right-wing influencer Candace Owens over claims that Brigitte Macron was born a man. Multiple outlets report the new legal action follows earlier steps and is linked to continued promotion of transgender rumours.

France 24 says the Macrons frame the case as a continuation of the allegations after prior legal action, adding that they accuse Owens of spreading the claims further and benefiting from them. Other reports focus more directly on the renewed lawsuit and the specific allegation at its core: Owens’s claim about Brigitte Macron’s gender.

Across the coverage, the common ground is the identity of the parties and the subject of the dispute—defamation linked to transgender rumours about Brigitte Macron. The differences are mainly in detail and emphasis, such as whether outlets mention the lawsuit as “second” action and any allegations about Owens’s conduct or profit.
