Case Overview
Candace Owens, renowned podcaster and outspoken political commentator, recently surprised audiences by openly welcoming a defamation lawsuit filed against her by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron. The high-profile legal battle, now proceeding in Delaware, originated from Owens’ controversial claims alleging that Brigitte Macron was born male, insinuations of familial blood ties, and theories of covert CIA involvement in Emmanuel Macron’s ascension to the French presidency. Rather than seeking dismissal, Owens boldly asserts she’s prepared for an intense courtroom showdown.
Owens’ Unusual Stance in Defamation Suit
Candace Owens, widely recognized for her provocative commentary, sparked further intrigue during her recent appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, decisively declaring her intention to keep the Macron lawsuit active. Owens’ surprising statement, “I most certainly do not want to have the case dismissed,” left Carlson visibly amused and intrigued. Typically, defendants in costly defamation suits swiftly seek dismissals, making Owens’ approach exceptionally unorthodox.
Owens explained her reasoning candidly to Carlson: “It’s how I feel and the reason that I feel that way, truly Tucker, is because this is so much bigger.” Carlson, amused by the unique strategy, acknowledged the rarity of Owens’ approach, remarking he’d “never heard” anyone welcome an expensive legal fight with such enthusiasm.
