French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron have filed a personal defamation lawsuit against podcaster Candace Owens in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

The 409-page complaint accuses Owens of repeatedly publishing allegedly defamatory claims about Brigitte Macron’s identity and the couple’s marital history, even after earlier litigation began.

The Macrons argue that Tennessee is the appropriate jurisdiction because Owens lives in Nashville and allegedly produced and distributed the disputed material from the state.

💡
The new case follows an October 27 ruling by a Delaware judge dismissing personal claims against Owens over a lack of jurisdiction.

The Macrons are seeking actual, presumed and punitive damages, a jury trial, and a permanent injunction preventing Owens from republishing statements found defamatory by the court.
