Candance Owens has repeatedly claimed that Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman. Now the Macrons are suing Owens for defamation in a Delaware court.

The right-wing podcaster, who has been at the center of hate-speech allegations, responds directly to the French president's lawsuit in her podcast.

For all this Owens was named “Antisemite of the Year” by StopAntisemitism in late 2024, and she celebrated the title on her YouTube channel . Now in 2025, she has gone further still—publicly calling Elie Wiesel a fake. There has been no credible denial or retraction from her.
