Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In the past few days Candace Owens has been engulfed in a firestorm that is both political spectacle and tabloid controversy. The biggest headline by far is her legal battle with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. The Macrons have filed a defamation lawsuit in Delaware, accusing Owens of spreading false claims about Brigitte Macron's gender. The case hinges on Owens' persistent online narrative, including a series entitled Becoming Brigitte, promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that the French First Lady was born male — allegations Macron publicly labeled as defamatory and personally damaging. Owens, true to form, has refused to recant. She doubled down by accepting a $300,000 challenge from Piers Morgan to prove her assertions, framing the situation as a crusade for truth, not a personal vendetta, as reported by The Economic Times and The Indian Express.
The lawsuit reportedly followed an investigation commissioned by the Macrons to gather information about Owens before filing their complaint — a fact covered by The Advocate and, fittingly, spun up more drama. Amid all this, Owens claims she received warnings directly from former President Donald Trump, who, according to Owens' own retelling on X and her podcast, told her to drop the topic after meeting Brigitte up close during a state visit. Trump allegedly quipped, "Looked like a woman to me," which Owens dismissively ignored. The Independent picked up her response, highlighting how she remained undeterred despite high-level rebukes from her one-time ally.
On social media, Owens is rapidly gaining notoriety, with millions of followers engaging with, and often amplifying, her polarizing views. Recent Instagram reels show congressional candidate Kyle Little riffing "Actions Have Consequences" in reference to Owens' latest legal woes. The Free Press documents thousands of comments under clips from her documentary-style content, while posts from jewishlifenow joke about Owens' penchant for starting "wars" with history books, underscoring her hyper-combative online persona.
Simultaneously, Owens is attempting what some see as a strategic rebrand. TheGrio reports she’s pivoting toward Black audiences, appearing on podcasts hosted by Black men and steering clear of interviews with prominent Black women who might challenge her. Observers are skeptical, suggesting that this outreach is performative rather than sincere or lasting.
On the business front, Owens remains affiliated with The Daily Wire, where her show Candace continues its blend of political commentary and lifestyle content. She also found herself tangentially embroiled in a Hollywood drama, subpoenaed by Blake Lively’s lawyers concerning a supposed smear campaign orchestrated on Reddit, although Owens herself denied any knowledge and saw the subpoena news through TMZ and People.
All signs indicate Owens is not backing down and is leveraging every angle — litigation, rebrand narratives, social media spectacle, and media appearances — to shape her story, keeping her in the center of the conservative media universe and a lightning rod for international controversy. The long-term significance of her current battles especially the Macron lawsuit may well define the next phase of her career, for better or for worse.
