ITS BEEN A MONTH since French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron sued right-wing podcaster Candace Owens over her claims that theyre involved in an elaborate criminal conspiracy to hide the supposed fact that Brigitte is transgender.
Things are starting to get real for Owens, who appears to have a dual strategy in responding to the Gallic leaders: Asking her fans to fund her enormous legal bills and demanding that Trump intervene to stop the Macrons invasion.
On an August 11 episode of her podcast, (1) Owens admitted she didnt have enough money to pay the enormous legal fees that her lawyers are predicting will come. This lawsuitwe got an estimate this weekend from a legal team, Owens said. It is going to cost us millions. I dont have that money. I really dont. So I thought we could actually sell some t-shirts.
Im not sure that that merch$30 shirts that say #FreeEmmanuelwill get Owens very far in the courtroom, even if her fans buy the matching $30 hats as well. Which may explain why Owens is pressuring President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to somehow block the Macrons lawsuit.

The Macron thing is giving her lots of followers - around 8 million.
Brigitte Macron had a lawsuit in France against two women who were claiming what Candice did. Candice picked up on what they were claiming and got lots of new followers.
A French appeals court has overturned a ruling that required two women to pay damages to France's First Lady Brigitte Macron and her brother over a viral conspiracy theory falsely alleging she was born male. The court said the pair acted in "good faith" and dismissed the previous judgment, including financial penalties. In September 2023, a lower French court ruled in Brigitte Macrons favour, ordering the two women to pay 8,000 in damages to her and 5,000 (about $5,500) to her brother. The court had found the allegations to be defamatory and invasive of privacy. Now the order by the Paris Appeals Court reversing that decision and stating that the defendants made their claims under a belief they were acting in the public interest - has sparked a widespread debate over the gender of Brigitte Macron. The court cancelled the damages, though it did not provide further legal justification for this reasoning.
