Overview

• Attorney Tom Clare said the couple will offer expert testimony of a scientific nature and show photographs, including images of Brigitte Macron pregnant and with her children, under court evidentiary standards.
• Clare described the allegations as deeply disturbing and said Brigitte is willing to endure uncomfortable proof to set the record straight.
• Filed in July in Delaware Superior Court, the complaint alleges Owens ignored credible refutations and amplified conspiracy claims in social posts and a YouTube series titled Becoming Brigitte.
• Owens’ legal team moved to dismiss, arguing the case does not belong in Delaware and that defending it there would cause substantial financial and operational burdens.
• A 2024 French defamation win against the rumor’s original promoters was overturned on appeal in 2025 on free‑speech grounds, and the Macrons have appealed that reversal underlining the different legal standards from the U.S. actual-malice requirement.
