From Breitbart: French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have filed a defamation lawsuit against American conservative commentator Candace Owens over claims that the French First Lady was born as a man.
The first couple of France filed a 218-page lawsuit in the U.S. state of Delaware on Wednesday against Mrs Owens and her businesses, alleging that she has financially gained from making “demonstrably false” claims about Brigitte Macron being secretly transgender.
Owens has previously stated that she would stake her “entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man,” while claiming that Macron was, in fact, her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, and had assumed the identity of Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux after changing her gender.
The Financial Times reported that, according to a lawyer representing the Macrons, they are willing to travel to Delaware to attend a trial in person in order to pursue the case against Owens.
The Macons said in a statement to the Financial Times, “Because Ms Owens systematically reaffirmed these falsehoods in response to each of our attorneys’ repeated requests for a retraction, we ultimately concluded that referring the matter to a court of law was the only remaining avenue.”
However, the report notes that the case may not be so easy, since, based on U.S. law, the Macrons would have to prove Owens acted with “actual malice,” and that Owens “knew that the information was false or had a reckless disregard for the truth.”
In response, Owens is doubling down, and mocked, “Brigitte pivots from grooming teenagers to an attempt to groom American courts.”

You have to read the portion of the lawsuit where Brigitte recounts how Macron’s parents TRANSFERRED him out of the school bc of their relationship.
They actually typed that out as a defense. Brigitte is so far gone in his perversion that he doesn’t even recognize it as such.
Oh, and Macron was 14 when he was in the high school play that made Brigitte gravitate toward him. No undoing that fact.
