”Owens' campaign of defamation was simply created to harass and cause pain to us and our families, and to attract attention”, writes Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron in the lawsuit and continues:

”We gave her every opportunity to back down from the claims, but she refused”.

Owens further claims in her podcast and on Youtube that the Macron couple is biologically related and that Macron was elected president as part of a CIA operation with brainwashing as the purpose.

Owens is known as an ultra-conservative author and activist, and for spreading conspiracy theories about, among other things, Jews and sexual minorities.
