Macrons Sue Candace Owens in Tennessee

Sponsored

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have sued podcaster Candace Owens for defamation in her home state of Tennessee.

The complaint was filed on Wednesday, November 4, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. It runs 409 pages.

How the Case Ended Up in Tennessee

This is not the first time the Macrons have taken Owens to court. In July 2025, they sued Owens and two of her companies, Candace Owens LLC and GeorgeTom, Inc., in Delaware, where her companies are registered.

According to The Christian Post, Delaware Superior Court Judge Sheldon K. Rennie ruled last month that the Delaware court did not have personal jurisdiction over Owens, because she lives in Tennessee. The new complaint says Owens was personally dismissed from the Delaware case on October 27 without prejudice, and that the case against her two companies is still pending there.

The complaint also says Owens told the Delaware court that the Macrons could refile in Tennessee. So that is exactly what they did.

"Mrs. Owens was adamant that Tennessee is where this case belongs because it's where she lives," the Macrons' legal counsel told The Christian Post. "With this filing, we are giving her exactly what she has repeatedly demanded."

What the Lawsuit Claims

The suit centers on Owens's repeated claims on her podcast that Brigitte Macron was born a man. According to the complaint, Owens said in March 2024 that she "would stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron [the First Lady of France] is in fact a man."

The Macrons' lawyers call her claims "outlandish" and "defamatory" fictions. Besides the claim about Mrs. Macron, the complaint lists other claims it says Owens made: that the Macrons are blood relatives, that President Macron was chosen through a CIA mind control program, and that the couple committed forgery and fraud to cover it all up.

The complaint also alleges a money motive. "She has continued to use her podcast to expand her lies about the Macrons, sell merchandise making fun of the Macrons, and collect donations based on her 'reporting' on the Macrons," the November 4 complaint says.

The Macrons are asking for a jury trial, damages to be determined at trial, punitive damages, and an order barring Owens from repeating any statement the court finds to be defamatory.

Owens has not backed down. The Christian Post reports that she confirmed the lawsuit in an X post on Monday and responded with sarcasm. The complaint says that after the first lawsuit was filed, she "unequivocally doubled down."

Editor's Note:

Avoid Candace at all cost!

Candace is a Catholic mystic, contentious woman, professional liar, and a fraud. She will probably win this lawsuit, and get away with this, but she will lose one one day, and it will be awful. No serious Christian should listen to her.
