In a dramatic legal salvo, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a landmark defamation suit in Delaware against far-right US commentator Candace Owens, accusing her of spreading a “verifiably false and devastating” conspiracy that Brigitte was born male. Through her eight-part podcast Becoming Brigitte, Owens amplified a widely debunked narrative from far-right circles,, triggering a high-stakes fight for truth, dignity, honour and millions in damages. FRANCE 24’s François Picard welcomes Eric Lisann, Legal Analyst and former US Federal Prosecutor, to delve in deeper into an unprecedented transatlantic court case with all the makings of a telenovela.
