Overview

• The couple’s lawyer, Tom Clare, told the BBC they will submit expert testimony of a scientific nature and photographs, including images of Brigitte pregnant and raising her children.
• Clare said Brigitte is prepared to undergo a very public evidentiary process to rebut the allegations.
• The 218-page complaint, filed July 23 in Delaware, targets influencer Candace Owens and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
• Owens has asked the court to throw out the case and has challenged Delaware as the venue, casting the litigation as a free‑speech dispute.
• Because the plaintiffs are public figures, they must prove actual malice under U.S. defamation law, and related proceedings in France are still on appeal.
