Crazy talk bites Candice Owens

[q]French President Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron have filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens, the conservative influencer and podcaster who claims the first lady was born male.

Filed in Delaware on Wednesday, the lawsuit accuses Owens of publishing "outlandish, defamatory and far-fetched fictions," causing "substantial reputational damage" and "substantial economic damages" to the Macrons in the process, according to the Financial Times.

The 218 page-court ruling states that along with claiming Macron was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, Owens went on to say that the Macrons are also blood relatives and that Emmanuel Macron is "a product of a CIA human experiment or a similar government mind control programme," per the Financial Times.

The lawsuit says Owens is responsible for spreading the conspiracy theory in the U.S. and around the world in order "to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety and make money." On top of selling some merchandise, she's garnered a social media presence nearing 4.5 million YouTube subscribers with her eight-part series "Becoming Brigitte" released this year.[/q]
