Journalist Owens called Macron's wife a man again

The wife of French President Emmanuel Macron is actually a man. This was announced on June 2 by American journalist and millionaire blogger Candice Owens.

"The investigation has already been completed: there is no doubt that Brigitte Macron is a man. It's not my style to spread silly conspiracy theories. I have studied this issue, researched it," the journalist said in an interview with TASS.

According to her, Macron did not marry his teacher, as it was known, but married the teacher's husband. She also stressed that Brigitte did not challenge Owens' statement in court that she was a man, but filed a complaint against the journalist because of accusations of theft.

The Financial Times reported on July 23, 2025, that the Macrons had filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens, who claimed that the French first lady was a man. According to the newspaper, the 218-page lawsuit alleges that the journalist published "ridiculous, defamatory and far-fetched fictions."

Owens said on July 2 that US President Donald Trump had called for an end to the investigation into Brigitte Macron. According to the journalist, during his visit to the United States, the French president personally asked Trump to influence her.

BFMTV also released a documentary in which it was reported that Brigitte Macron was registered on the official tax website of the country under the male name Jean-Michel. The head of the first lady's administration later clarified that the name had been changed by third parties.
