French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a second defamation lawsuit against US right-wing podcaster Candace Owens over false claims about her gender, France 24 reported on 10 November 2026. The couple accuse Owens of continuing to spread the allegations and profiting from them despite earlier legal action. The new filing follows an earlier suit against Owens over the same rumours. The France 24 report did not say what outcome the first case has reached.
