Will we see the truth finally come in court?
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, First Lady Brigitte Macron, have filed a defamation lawsuit against political commentator Candace Owens.
The Macrons filed a lawsuit against Candace Owens after she had made several statements and videos claiming Brigitte Macron was born a man.
NBC News had these details to report on the lawsuit:
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. on Wednesday against right-wing influencer Candace Owens, centered on her claim that France’s first lady is male.
The Macrons said in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court that Owens has waged a lie-filled “campaign of global humiliation” and “relentless bullying” to promote her podcast and expand her “frenzied” fan base.
The Macrons said the lies included that Brigitte Macron, 72, was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, the actual name of her older brother.
“Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications,” the complaint said. “It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust.”
Owens did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Macron‘s office declined comment.
The 22-count complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

ABC News reported on Owens’ response to the lawsuit:
In a statement, a spokesperson for Owens said Owens “is not shutting up” and that the lawsuit amounts to a “foreign government attacking the First Amendment rights of an American independent journalist.”
“Candace repeatedly requested an interview with Brigitte Macron,” the statement said. “Instead of offering a comment, Brigitte is resorting to trying to bully a reporter into submission. In France, politicians can bully journalists, but this is not France. It’s America.”
