Macron chose to blame Trump for the controversies surrounding his wife.
When unpopular French President Emmanuel Macron isn’t abroad inserting himself into the Russia-Ukraine peace process (where he has no place), he goes back home where only problems await him – not least of all his own elderly wife.
The controversy over Brigitte Macron’s biological sex continues. We reported here in July that Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron Are Suing American Political Commentator Candace Owens for Saying First Lady of France Was Born a Man.
Macron and his wife filed a defamation lawsuit in US civil court against Candace Owens for ‘relentless and unjustified smear campaign’ alleging that Brigitte was born a man.
Independent reported:
“The 219-page defamation complaint filed in Delaware state court on Wednesday accuses Owens of proliferating ‘demonstrably false’ claims through her platforms, including in an eight-part podcast and on social media, designed to feed a ‘frenzied fan base’ in ‘pursuit of fame’, the Macrons allege.
‘These lies have caused tremendous damage to the Macrons’, according to the lawsuit, which names Owens as well her business entities, which are incorporated in Delaware.”
The claims subjected the Macrons to a “campaign of global humiliation, turning their lives into fodder for profit-driven lies’, according to the lawsuit.
“Owens has dissected their appearance, their marriage, their friends, their family, and their personal history — twisting it all into a grotesque narrative designed to inflame and degrade’, the complaint alleges. ‘The result is relentless bullying on a worldwide scale. Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications. It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust’.”
Now, today we learn that Emmanuel Macron took a shot at Donald J. Trump as the French president defended suing the American podcaster Candace Owens for falsely claiming his wife was born a man.
The Telegraph reported:
“Mr Macron, the 47-year-old French president, told Paris Match magazine that he felt he had no choice but to file a lawsuit in order to ‘defend his honor’ over the unfounded gender conspiracy theory regarding his 72-year-old spouse.
Since last year, Ms. Owens, 36, whose YouTube channel has four million subscribers, has been promoting a five-year-old French conspiracy theory that Brigitte Macron was born as a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux and changed gender.”
Owens called the libel suit ‘goofy’, a vicious PR move to silence her.
“In his Paris Match interview, Mr. Macron took a thinly veiled swipe at the Trump administration, dismissing claims that lawsuits such as this flouted free speech, saying: “It is not freedom of speech to want to prevent the truth from being restored.
‘Those who talk about this supposed freedom of speech are the people who ban journalists from the Oval Office. I don’t accept that’.”
