Macron vs. Owens: A Legal Battle Over Honor and Conspiracy
EXCLUSIVE: THE BIZARRE BATTLE OF MACRON VS OWENS - A WEB OF LIES, CONSPIRACIES, AND SCANDAL
In a shocking turn of events, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have taken to the courts against right-wing American influencer Candace Owens in a high-stakes lawsuit that promises to spill all the juicy secrets. The drama began when Owens, with her four million YouTube subscribers hanging on her every word, started peddling a crackpot conspiracy theory about Brigitte Macron's past.
According to Owens' outlandish claims, Brigitte was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux - a theory that has left many scratching their heads. The influencer even went so far as to launch a podcast series called "Becoming Brigitte," where she delves into the supposed truth behind Macron's wife's alleged transformation.
But the Macrons had had enough of Owens' lies and decided to take action. In July, they filed a lawsuit against her in the US, claiming that their reputation has been left in tatters due to Owens' reckless behavior. The couple alleges that they have suffered "substantial reputational damage" and have spent "considerable sums of money to correct the public record."
Macron himself spoke out about the case, telling Paris Match that he was forced to take action despite being warned that it might backfire. He called Owens' claims "nonsense" and said that taking her on in court is a matter of upholding the truth and defending his honor.
The French President also took aim at the Trump administration's stance on free speech, saying that banning mainstream outlets from the Oval Office doesn't constitute freedom of expression. Instead, he claimed that Owens' actions are motivated by ideology and connections to the far right.
But here's where things get really juicy: investigators hired by the Macrons discovered some explosive information about Owens' background. The report, compiled by top corporate intelligence firm Nardello & Co., revealed links between Owens and far-right figures in France, as well as her online interactions with a Russian nationalist.
It also shed light on her shift from being a self-identifying liberal to a conservative, as well as her support for Donald Trump - which she has since dropped. The report painted a picture of Owens' growing ties to populist movements in both the US and UK.
The Macrons' lawyer, Tom Clare, revealed that their decision to sue was motivated by a desire to understand why Owens took such an interest in them. He said: "We were surprised by her sudden attention to our private lives. We wanted to know more about her motivations."
Owens, never one to back down from a fight, has been unapologetic in the face of the lawsuit. She's described it as "goofy" and a "vicious public relations stunt." But sources close to the case say that she's "fully prepared to take on this battle" - with some even speculating that Owens might use the case as an opportunity to boost her own profile.
The 22-count lawsuit is set to be heard in Delaware, but no trial date has been set. As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the Macrons are not going down without a fight, and the world will be watching with bated breath.
