French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a new defamation lawsuit against American influencer Candace Owens for spreading the conspiracy theory that Brigitte Macron is transgender and was born male. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Tennessee, after a Delaware court ruled it lacked personal jurisdiction over Owens. The complaint, spanning over 400 pages, alleges that Owens subjects the couple to a 'global campaign of humiliation,' including selling demeaning merchandise and displaying an alien-like 'Brigitte doll' that mocks the first lady's appearance. Owens, whose YouTube channel has over 6 million subscribers, is known for antisemitic conspiracy theories. In response, Owens mockingly stated that 'the Brigitte doll never chased the spotlight.'
