SCANDAL ROCKS THE FRENCH PRESIDENCY: CANDACE OWENS DEMANDS BRIGITTE MACRON UNDERGO MEDICAL EXAM

In a shocking turn of events, right-wing influencer Candace Owens has escalated her heated feud with French First Lady Brigitte Macron, demanding that she submit to a medical exam as part of their ongoing defamation lawsuit. The drama-filled saga has left the Macron couple reeling, with sources close to the president and his wife describing the ordeal as "extremely upsetting" and a "distraction" from their duties.

The controversy began when Owens claimed that Brigitte Macron was born male, sparking a firestorm of debate on social media. The allegations originated online, thanks in part to French bloggers Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey, who featured the claims in a viral YouTube video last year. Despite Owens' assertions, the Macrons have maintained that they will present photographic evidence in court to prove Brigitte's sex at birth.

In an explosive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Owens declared war on the Macron couple, stating: "We're going to demand Brigitte sit down for an exam with an independent doctor. We're coming for her medical records." The outspoken influencer has millions of followers on social media and has repeatedly aired the allegations against the Macrons.

The drama has taken a dark turn, with Owens' lawyers moving to dismiss the Macron's defamation lawsuit. However, the French president and his wife are undeterred, accusing Owens of launching a "campaign of global humiliation" and "relentless bullying." In their 218-page lawsuit filed in Delaware last July, the Macrons sought an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

But Owens is not backing down, fueled by her conviction that Brigitte Macron's identity has been fabricated. The influencer claims to have based her allegations on a "thorough investigation" by French blogger Natacha Rey. In response to the lawsuit, Owens said: "This isn't France, where Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron get to do whatever they want. This is America."

As the battle between the Macrons and Owens continues to unfold, it has become clear that this is more than just a simple defamation case. At stake are not only reputations but also the very fabric of French politics. The Macron couple's willingness to present photographic evidence in court raises questions about their own identity and legitimacy.

In an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Tom Clare, who represents the Macrons in the case, described Owens' claims as a "distraction" from the president's duties: "It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward." Clare emphasized that the Macron couple is committed to setting the record straight and ending what they see as a campaign of defamation.

The Macrons' lawyer also hinted at the evidence they plan to present in court, stating: "There would be expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature." The statement raises questions about the extent to which Owens' allegations have been fueled by misinformation or even conspiracy theories.

As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: this is a battle for the ages. Will Candace Owens and her team succeed in bringing down the Macron couple's reputation? Or will Brigitte Macron emerge victorious, proving once and for all that she is who she says she is? The world waits with bated breath as this scandal rocks the very foundations of French politics.

In a related development, the Macrons have won their initial defamation case against Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey in 2024. However, the ruling was overturned on appeal this year on freedom of expression grounds. Owens has cited this decision as evidence that she is not alone in questioning Brigitte Macron's identity.

The Macron couple's lawyer described the experience as "extremely upsetting" and a "distraction" from their duties.

"We're going to demand Brigitte sit down for an exam with an independent doctor. We're coming for her medical records," Owens declared, leaving no doubt that this is a battle she intends to win at all costs.
