According to the Macrons, Owens's podcast series spread 'verifiably false and devastating lies'.

The far-right influencer is accused of a "campaign of global humiliation" and "relentless bullying" against France's first lady, Brigitte Macron.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation suit against right-wing Candace Owens, who claims the first lady was born a man.
