Macrons Sue Owens Over Brigitte's Gender Conspiracy | JQJO

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a US defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens for spreading the false claim that Brigitte is a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux. This follows a French court case where two women who propagated the rumor were initially found guilty but later acquitted on appeal. The Macrons argue the false narrative constitutes a global humiliation campaign. The case highlights the spread of online conspiracy theories and societal distrust in institutions, particularly following the pandemic and 'gilets jaunes' protests. Owens maintains her stance, while the Macrons continue their legal fight against the persistent misinformation.
