  • Macron Lawsuit, Trump Tension, Aussie Ban: Candace Owens' Global Battles

    Macron Lawsuit, Trump Tension, Aussie Ban: Candace Owens' Global Battles
    Aug 12 2025
    Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    In the past few days, I have been at the center of a fast-escalating international fight over speech, reputation, and power. According to the Financial Times, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron hired U.S. investigations firm Nardello and Co., led by former federal prosecutor Dan Nardello, to research me as they prepared their 219 page defamation complaint in Delaware over my series alleging Brigitte was born male; FT’s piece also flagged my links to right wing figures in the U.S. and Europe. I publicly blasted FT for giving my team only two hours to respond and for not running my full statement, and I doubled down on YouTube and X with my rebuttal to their framing, as summarized by Sportskeeda and covered in independent commentary roundups on YouTube. The Economic Times and PrimeTimer report that I went on Piers Morgan Uncensored and accepted his 300,000 dollar charity bet on Brigitte’s gender and that I criticized Donald Trump and JD Vance for staying silent as the Macrons sue me; I also said on my podcast that Trump once urged me to drop the story. The New Republic highlighted my public pressure campaign on Trump’s silence and noted that my claims form the basis of the Macrons’ lawsuit, which argues I profited from a relentless smear and my Becoming Brigitte series. In a separate development with real travel and business stakes, AOL reports Australian authorities blocked me from entering the country for a planned speaking tour, citing public interest concerns. On my own channel, I addressed a legal letter from photographer William Farrington over reposted Jeffrey Epstein hospital photos, saying my team removed the images and using the moment to question official narratives about Epstein’s death, a video Sportskeeda detailed; my broader Epstein commentary also referenced the July DOJ FBI memo that reaffirmed suicide, as reported by Al Jazeera. For major headlines driving this cycle: Financial Times on the Macrons’ hired probe; Piers Morgan’s 300,000 dollar bet segment; Australia blocks Candace Owens, per AOL; and my podcast remarks urging Trump to defend free speech, recapped by PrimeTimer and The New Republic. Unconfirmed or contested: claims that FT was protecting the Macrons and that investigators implied Russian ties are my assertions and interpretations; outlets have reported those as my statements, not as established fact. The potentially lasting biographical markers here are the cross border lawsuit by a sitting head of state and first lady, the sovereign entry denial affecting future tours, and the on record friction with Trump.

  • Candace Owens: Brigitte Macron Transgender Claim, Trump Call, and Defamation Lawsuit Fallout

    Candace Owens: Brigitte Macron Transgender Claim, Trump Call, and Defamation Lawsuit Fallout
    Aug 9 2025
    Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Candace Owens has dominated headlines this week with a storm of controversy and unapologetic media sparring, much of it stemming from the defamation lawsuit filed by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife against her for promoting the debunked conspiracy claim that Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman. After Owens doubled down on her assertions, she revealed on Tucker Carlson’s podcast that former President Donald Trump personally phoned her to ask her to stop talking about the First Lady of France’s gender, a request on behalf of Macron himself. Owens described herself as shocked at the request, claiming Trump seemed confused why he was being asked to intervene, and reported that she did not comply. According to The Independent, she maintains that the lawsuit is a broadside against free speech and an attempt by the Macrons to “impoverish her for speaking.”

    Amid high-profile podcast and TV appearances, Owens took her fight to Piers Morgan, clashing with him on Piers Morgan Uncensored on August 5. Morgan pressed her to accept a $300,000 charity bet that Brigitte Macron is a cisgender woman. Owens responded she would “1,000 percent” take the bet, declaring her willingness to stake her reputation on her theory while defending her actions as the pursuit of “truth,” however disputed by mainstream outlets like The Independent and Piers Morgan, who have called her claims “utter nonsense.”

    Owens used her own eponymous podcast, the 225th episode, to blast Trump, JD Vance, and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their “loud silence,” framing their lack of public support as an abdication of free speech defense and accusing the Macrons of mounting an “unprecedented” attack on American constitutional rights. She complained no journalists have put Trump on the record about whether he supports her in the lawsuit.

    On social media, commentary exploded after Owens’ claims were covered by major accounts including The Jasmine Brand. Clips of her recounting the Trump-Macron phone call and accusing the French government of orchestrating efforts to “fake” Brigitte Macron’s death to avoid the lawsuit’s discovery phase went viral, further fueling transphobia and far-right conspiracy discourse. According to EdTechLens, Owens’ children remain out of the limelight, reflecting her strategy of keeping her private life shielded amid public storms; this stands in contrast to the relentless exposure she invites in her professional crusades.

    Also this week, Sportskeeda reports that Owens posted a video addressing a legal letter from photographer William Farrington regarding copyright over Jeffrey Epstein death images she’d shared. She speculated about the veracity of Epstein’s death, casting doubt on the official story—a nod to her tendency for high-drama conspiracy content, a through-line that’s both career-defining and disruptive.

    Behind the headlines, the real long-term story is her apparent doubling down on incendiary tactics even as former allies distance themselves, raising serious prospects for lasting reputational and potential financial fallout if the high-stakes lawsuit goes against her. For now, her profile remains as polarizing, combative, and viral as ever.

  • Candace Owens: Canceled Down Under, Doubling Down on Controversy

    Candace Owens: Canceled Down Under, Doubling Down on Controversy
    Aug 2 2025
    Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Candace Owens has been at the epicenter of controversy and headlines over the past few days, marking a moment of major significance in her public trajectory. The biggest breaking story is that Owens has been suspended and demonetized by YouTube after her interview with Kanye West, where both she and West pushed antisemitic tropes, including the claim that Jewish people control the media. She announced the ban herself on Facebook, stating there would be no new episode of her podcast this week, and her rep told USA Today the suspension came after several videos were mass reported, triggering instant strikes on her channel. Owens spent much of the week on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, railing against what she called a coordinated effort by “Zionists” to silence her and describing the takedown as targeted harassment. She doubled down and insisted her guest West was “calm and filled with love.” The controversy over her ban is already being framed as a free speech issue by her supporters, with fears about deplatforming going viral in conservative circles, and her opponents pointing to a repeated history of hate speech from both Owens and West.

    Complicating her week further, Candace Owens also finds herself barred from entering Australia, where she had a speaking tour planned—AOL reports that Australian authorities refused her entry on the basis of her views, further amplifying her status as a polarizing international figure. In Europe, her legal troubles with the French First Lady, Brigitte Macron, just took another turn. In a public sparring match that has become downright surreal, Owens continued to promote the baseless conspiracy that Brigitte Macron was “born a man.” This allegation has prompted a defamation suit in which Owens is named, but she scoffs at the lawsuit, describing it on the Tucker Carlson Network as a PR stunt after Macron recently lost a major case to two journalists in France. Owens claims the Macrons are simply scrambling for a win and accuses Macron’s children of not publicly disproving the rumors, saying their silence is suspicious—an insinuation being roundly criticized in French and American media.

    Social media is ablaze with clips of Owens’ recent livestreams, where, as reported by IMDb, she advanced deeply antisemitic conspiracy theories, linking the origins of Israel to a “cult” she claimed was involved in heinous crimes against Christians. This rhetoric, which echoes historical antisemitic blood libel, swiftly drew condemnation and fact checks from multiple outlets.

    If that weren’t enough, Owens has even managed to pop up in corners of pop culture, with an Instagram post circulating that shows her attempting to prod Harvey Weinstein into blaming Jews for his downfall, a headline-grabbing moment that many are labeling as another bid to stoke outrage and attention.

    For someone already notorious for courting controversy, the last week has cemented Owens as one of the most talked-about and divisive figures across both political and pop culture lines. As mainstream platforms and entire countries put distance between themselves and her rhetoric, the long-term fallout for Candace Owens’ career, reputation, and reach remains an open—and hotly debated—question.
