Candace Owens recently shared her opinion on the rumors surrounding Brigitte Macron's gender, claiming that Brigitte's brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, might have taken her identity. According to Owens, it's possible that the real Brigitte Trogneux was ill and gifted her identity to her brother, allowing him to live as a woman. This theory stems from Owens' long-held belief that Brigitte Macron was born male. Owens made these claims in her podcast "Becoming Brigitte," where she presented various arguments and speculations about Brigitte Macron's life and identity. However, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have denied these allegations, filing a 219-page defamation lawsuit against Owens in Delaware Superior Court. The lawsuit claims Owens' statements were "outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions" designed to harass and humiliate the couple.¹ ²
