Emmanuel Macron has said the lawsuit against Candace Owens is necessary to defend the honor of his wife Brigitte after she came under attack with conspiracy theories. Owens claimed Brigitte would have been born a man, and Macron emphasized that the legal action is a way to restore the truth and combat misinformation. The lawsuit was filed in the US, and Macron criticized the Trump administration for its stance on freedom of speech, saying it is not acceptable to ignore the truth. The Macron couple have also hired investigators to probe Owens' links to the far-right.
