France’s President Macron Explains He Had To Sue Candace Owens to Defend His Honour Over Claims His Wife is Trans

Oliver JJ Lane 22 Aug 2025

“This is about defending my honour!”, French President Emmanuel Macron told a French magazine when justifying his decision to go against the advice of others to sue Candace Evans over claims he’d previously reminded are “false and fabricated”.

The French President Emmanuel Macron filed a lawsuit over “substantial reputational damage” against activist and commentator Candace Owens in July over what he called repeated “falsehoods” that the French First Lady is in fact secretly a man. Owens hit back at the suit at that time, calling it an attempt to silence her and hide the truth.

Now President Macron has spoken out in detail for the first time on why he chose to sue Owens in the as-of-yet unresolved case, acknowledging that in doing so he went against advice to leave the matter alone and even that, in doing so, he would invoke the “Streisand Effect” and bring even greater global attention to his family life.

When he says “defend his honor”, is he talking about himself or his “wife”🤔

This was my reaction, too.  Why is he defending *his* honor and not Brigitte's??

And,  why is he addressing this insanity at all?

Emmanuel Macron is in the process of discovering the Streisand Effect.

I've been loosely following this saga with Candace for a while now. I have no opinion of right or wrong ... but it is weird.

Considering her change in shall we say demeanor the past couple of years I have to wonder she should be examined for a possible brain tumor, I say this because after the fact we realized my brothers behavior was attributable to his tumor.

You are generous with your diagnosis. I'd just say menopause. It can make a body mean. (and I say that as a woman)

She may need a nice, long nap or two and some hormone attention

Owens gave birth to a boy in January 2021, a girl in July 2022, a boy in late 2023, and another boy in May 2025.

[verga]

Two points here:
1) When did Emmanuel Macron develop honor?
2) He is about to find out the meaning of "The Streisand Effect".

she must love children, and I think that's a woman's purpose here on earth, and she loves her husband.
And as Groucho would say:

I don't know what happened to her...but Candace Owens has really gone off the deep end.

Perhaps Candace Owens is the only person who knows there is a deep end.

My point is that proverbial Cassandras are always dismissed and mocked as having gone off the deep end. And then history all too often shows that they were right.

In recent history the people who were ignored and ridiculed include:

1. The people who warned that New Orleans was uniquely vulnerable to a hurricane like Katrina.
2. The people who warned that the World Trade Center buildings could collapse after being hit by two airliners.
3. The people who warned that a bunch of Arabs were learning to fly but not learning to land.
4. The people who warned that the Democrats were conspiring against Donald Trump.
5. The people like Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney who warned that Russia would invade Ukraine.
6. The few people who accurately predicted the 2008 stock market crash.
7. The people who spoke out about the nonsense COVID 'vaccines'.
8. The people who said the Boeing 787 MAX was a death trap.

etc.

Oh, well that explains a lot, Oracles prophecies are famously confusing, ambiguous, and subject to misinterpretation.

Macron's wife isn't trans.
Folks, get real.

But... their relationship reminds of this one that became notorious here:

She's not a Cassandra. She's morphed into an antisemite raving lunatic.

What she's doing and the things you listed are apples and oranges quite frankly.

She's got more in common with Nick Fuentes than any actual Conservative these days.

Basically how I see it too... She has no "off button" at times.... and seems to just dig deeper at inappropriate times...

Trying to look "manly" after Brigitte publicly whacked him in the head.

In reality his lawsuit is just a roundabout way of yelling ‘I’m not gay’.

Don't forget the stubborn rumors that Biden was boffing Jill when she was his fifteen year old babysitter.

Don't forget the stubborn rumors that Biden was boffing Jill when she was his fifteen year old babysitter.

Rumors? 

[GtHawk]

Rumors?

And who was boffing who, I think Jill was always working to split Joe from Neilia, she got sidelined a bit but finally managed to destroy two marriages, her own and Joe’s(with Neilia committing suicide over it) and get what she wanted to be first lady even if it meant being married to a vegetable by the time it happened.

[MeganC]

Rumors?

Pardon me, highly substantiated rumors. Enough for Jill to take to court if she wanted to.

We already know he's a pedophile (hebephile?) from Ashley's diary....it's not much of a stretch to believe he was banging Jill when she was his family's babysitter.

I watched the entire series that Candace did. I found it fascinating and plan to get the book (“Becoming Brigitte” by Xavier Poussard) that her series was based upon.
I do not listen to Candace when she discusses Israel.

Candace Owens built a brand out of playing with fire, and now she’s finding out what happens when you light a match next to a gas tank. Here’s a look at how this lawsuit could hit Candace Owens’ wallet, based on what the public record shows:

This Macrons’ lawsuit is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, meaning Owens could be ordered to pay not just for the actual harm to Brigitte Macron’s reputation, but also as punishment for what the Macrons call “malicious defamation.”

The complaint points out that Owens profited from the smear through her “Becoming Brigitte” podcast, her social media posts, and even merchandise tied to the rumor. If the court rules against her, damages could include disgorgement of the money she made from selling that content and merch.

On top of that come the legal costs: attorney fees, court fees, and possibly expert witnesses if the case involves medical or DNA evidence. If Owens loses, she may also be ordered to pay the Macrons’ legal costs. And since her business entities like Candace Owens LLC and GeorgeTom, Inc. are named in the suit, the financial risks aren’t limited to her personally. Her media brand, revenue streams, sponsorships, and future deals are all on the line if the court finds her liable.

Best-Case Scenario: Owens manages to limit damages, keep punitive awards low, and settle most of the claims cleanly. In that situation, she could still be out anywhere from $500,000 to $2 million, covering compensatory damages, some punitive element, and legal fees. Painful but survivable.

Worst-Case Scenario: The Macrons prove actual malice, demonstrate that Owens profited from the smear, and push for a heavy punitive award. Similar defamation cases involving public figures (like E. Jean Carroll vs. Trump or Depp vs. Heard) have run into tens of millions. If that pattern repeats, Owens could be staring down $50 million or more once punitive damages, disgorgement of profits, and legal costs are factored in. That’s on top of the long-term collapse of sponsorships, deals, and credibility.

The question is, what lesson do we take from this? That lies eventually bankrupt you? That clout chasing has a price? Or that some people have to be financially destroyed before they understand that free speech can come at a cost when you launder conspiracy theories for clicks?
