Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Candace Owens has dominated headlines in the past few days thanks to an international legal and political firestorm after French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron filed a major defamation lawsuit against her in a Delaware court. The Macrons accuse Owens of deliberately and repeatedly spreading the debunked conspiracy theory that Brigitte was born as a man under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux and is engaged in an incestuous relationship with her husband, claims the couple say are not just egregiously false but designed to damage their reputations and drive traffic and income to Owens’s platforms. Instead of backing down, Owens has gone on the offensive, insisting this high-profile lawsuit only proves her assertions warrant fear at the highest level of French politics. She argued on her own show and to the Financial Times that such legal threats are the mark of leaders terrified about what she might expose, dismissing the action as an intimidation tactic rather than an actual legal reckoning.

Owens has leaned into the scandal with an unmistakably confrontational posture. She revealed in detail to Tucker Carlson—and repeated across her YouTube, Instagram, and podcast channels—that President Donald Trump himself called her earlier this year to personally urge her to stop amplifying conspiracy theories about Brigitte Macron. According to Owens’s account, Trump was approached directly by Macron in the context of Ukraine-related diplomacy, where Macron allegedly suggested progress on peace talks might be linked to Trump’s ability to get Owens to go quiet on his wife's gender. Owens described this as proof of how seriously the French leadership takes her commentary, and she cites the rumor as evidence of her own influence. She even floated, without any proof, the bizarre scenario that Brigitte Macron’s “death would be faked” to avoid the lawsuit’s discovery process—comments drawing criticism for their outlandishness.

Online, critics and LGBTQ advocacy organizations like GLAAD have swiftly condemned Owens’s renewed attacks as part of a pattern of anti-trans rhetoric and misinformation, highlighting her ongoing history of hostility toward transgender people and dismissing the allegations as not only baseless but dangerous. Meanwhile, legal analysis in outlets like the Daily Journal draws a sharp line between protected satire—as in South Park’s depiction of Trump—and the deliberate presentation of falsehoods as fact, which is at the heart of the Macron v. Owens case.

Social media has exploded over the saga, with screenshots, meme wars, and competing hashtags circulating widely. Owens continues to monetize the storm with related merchandise and advertising, vowing to fight the lawsuit and double down on her claims, seeing herself as a target of powerful forces rather than a discredited provocateur. This episode is another in the long line of controversial, high-visibility confrontations that define her public persona and could shape her biography for years to come.
