Macron to provide ‘proof’ she is a woman in court case
The Independent
|September 19, 2025
Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte will provide “scientific and photographic evidence” that she is a woman at her defamation trial against right-wing American podcaster Candace Owens.
Tom Clare, a lawyer acting for the Macrons, said the couple were ready to prove “generally and specifically” that Owens’ allegations that Ms Macron was born male were false.
Owens began spreading baseless conspiracy theories about Ms Macron’s gender identity in 2024 in YouTube videos and podcast episodes that have accrued millions of views. She has stated that she will stake her “entire professional reputation” on her belief that Ms Macron “is in fact a man”.
The Macrons filed a defamation lawsuit in a court in Delaware in July, accusing Owens of spreading “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched” lies that have triggered a “campaign of global humiliation” and “relentless bullying”.
