French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte (left), intend to provide a US court with photographic and scientific evidence that will prove that the first lady is a woman, the couple’s lawyer avowed.
The materials will be submitted as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by the Macrons against US commentator Candace Owens, who has claimed that Brigitte Macron was born a man.
Tom Clare, who represents the Macrons in the case, told the BBC’s Fame Under Fire podcast on Thursday that they wish to disprove the allegations “both generically and specifically”. Owens’ claims regarding Brigitte Macron have been “incredibly upsetting” to the French president, Clare said. He noted that while the process of proving that she is a woman before the court is in no way a pleasurable experience for the French first lady, “she is firmly resolved to do what it takes to set the record straight”.
The Macrons filed the lawsuit in July in the US state of Delaware, accusing the Youtuber (right), who has millions of subscribers, of falsely claiming that Brigitte Macron was born male, that the couple are blood relatives, and that Emmanuel Macron is a product of a CIA mind control program.
Speaking in July, Owens doubled down on her claims, adding that she was “fully prepared to take on this battle on behalf of the entire world”!
The rumors about Brigitte date back to at least 2021, when self-proclaimed ‘spiritual medium’ Amandine Roy interviewed independent journalist Natacha Rey, who claimed that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux.
The Macrons filed a defamation lawsuit in France and initially won it in 2024, only for the ruling to be overturned on appeal in July 2025 on freedom of expression grounds.
Twenty-four years his senior, France’s first lady met Emmanuel Macron when he was 15 and she was his literature teacher at school. The couple got married in 2007.
In the first of seven PL games played yesterday, Liverpool managed to do just enough to win 2-1 over Everton.
On ten minutes, Ryan Gravenberch received the ball over the top from Mohamed Salah and he took it on the bounce, hooking it brilliantly over the Toffees' keeper and into the net.
The Dutchman turned provider next when he threaded a lovely through ball into the same channel where he got the opener. This time it was Hugo Ekitike running onto it and his finish in the 29th minute was so composed to beat the goalie.
But Everton pulled a goal back in the fifty-eighth minute. To be honest, the Reds didn't turn up for the second-half. Fortunately, they kept the Toffees at bay and came out on top of the Merseyside derby once again.
And Liverpool keep their 100% record going in the Premier League. Five wins from five means they are guaranteed to stay top of the table for at least another week.
