Overview

• Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron filed an amended complaint of roughly 240–250 pages accusing Candace Owens of intensifying and monetizing false claims about the French first lady.
• Owens’s 43-page motion to dismiss argues Delaware courts lack jurisdiction and says any case belongs in France or Tennessee, describing the lawsuit as “libel tourism.”
• The new filing says Owens revived and broadened a podcast series, pushed merchandise, and solicited donations while recycling the debunked claim about Brigitte Macron’s birth.
• Plaintiffs cite additional defamatory themes, including attempts to tie the couple to conspiracies such as incest, pedophilia, mind control, and a false link to the Stanford Prison Experiment.
• Macron lawyers say they will present photographic and scientific evidence to establish the falsity of the claims, while Owens has called the suit a public relations ploy and vowed to fight in court.
