Thursday, September 18, 2025 - Brigitte Macron, the wife of Emmanuel Macron, is planning to provide photographic evidence to prove she's a woman to a court in the US.
The lawyer for the French leader and his wife,
Brigitte, said they will present the photographs in support of
their defamation case against right-wing influencer Candace
Owens.
The defamation suits, launched in July, accuse Owens of
propagating "outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions" that
fuelled a lie-filled "campaign of global humiliation" and
"relentless bullying".
Speaking on the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast, lead
counsel Tom Clare said the couple were ready to prove
"generically and specifically" how Owens' claims are false. Without
revealing further details, he said lawyers will rely on "expert
testimony" that "will be scientific in nature".
The lawyer was asked if the photographs would show Mrs
Macron when she was pregnant, but he refused to provide further details and
added the images would be presented in court, according to the BBC.
Mr Clare said Owen's comments were "extremely
upsetting" to the Macrons: "It is incredibly upsetting to think that
you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward,"
he said.
However, Mrs Macron is willing to "subject herself to
[this process] in a very public way" in order to "do what it takes to
set the record straight".
Mr Clare added that he was aware the claims had been a
'distraction' to the French leader, adding: "I don't want to suggest that
it somehow has thrown him off his game".
"He's not immune from that because he's the president
of a country," he added.
