Candace Owens Suggests the Macrons May Fake French First Lady’s Death to Avoid Discovery in Defamation Lawsuit
Candace Owens suggested on her show Monday that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, may fake the latter’s death in order to avoid the discovery process in their defamation lawsuit against Owens for her continued promotion of the conspiracy theory that the French First Lady was born a man.
After boasting that she’s seen “an uptick in donations” thanks to the lawsuit, Owens professed not to “really need the money at this moment,” at least for legal reasons.
“It’s very early on, but I know that the process is supposed to be the pain, that they wanna drag this out. I can’t see them wanting to make it to discovery. I just don’t see that happening. I think they’ll fake kill Brigitte first,” she continued. “Like they’ll be like, ‘Oh, Brigitte passed away from stress because of what Candace did. Oh, nobody can talk about her being a man anymore because Brigitte’s gone. You know, she’s-, this is terrible.’ That’s what I would-, I’m more likely that that would be the conclusion, I feel like that’s way more likely than them going through discovery.”
“All right? Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know. But that’s my instinct, anyway,” concluded Owens.
The initial filing in the lawsuit charged Owens with propagating a number of “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions,” including “that Mrs. Macron was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets.”
This is nothing new for Owens. She has built a brand on provocation, not truth. Owens labels herself as an independent “investigative journalist” while routinely peddling misinformation under the guise of legitimate reporting. She has promoted a range of conspiracy theories, including anti-vaccine falsehoods, long-debunked antisemitic tropes such as blood libel, and Holocaust distortion — going so far as to dismiss the atrocities of Josef Mengele’s medical experiments as mere “propaganda.” Her content is not intended to inform but to inflame and attract attention through sensationalism and conspiracy theories.
Owens responded to the filing last week by arguing that it is “beyond obvious” Brigitte Macron “has a penis,” as well as by calling her “a very goofy man.”
