Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Candace Owens is at the epicenter of a high-profile legal storm after French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron filed a sweeping 22-count lawsuit against her for allegedly spreading defamatory claims that Brigitte is transgender, a conspiracy theory Owens has repeated to her millions of followers for months. Macron, quoted by Paris Match and BET, admitted he felt compelled to act to defend his wife’s honor after the story gained traction in the US, making headlines not just for the salacious nature of the accusation but for its implications in transatlantic politics. Macron’s legal team is seeking substantial punitive damages and asserted Owens knowingly spread these “verifiably false and devastating lies.” Owens, however, is publicly mocking the lawsuit, calling it “goofy” and labeling the Macrons’ actions as a PR stunt, even selling merchandise—thirty-dollar “#FreeEmmanuel” t-shirts to offset looming legal fees. She’s openly pleaded for support from Donald Trump and VP JD Vance, frustrated they haven't publicly defended her, and went as far as demanding their intervention while lambasting the silence from right-wing leaders.
Simultaneously, Owens found herself embroiled in another major headline after Blake Lively subpoenaed her over smear campaign allegations against Justin Baldoni. Owens responded during a live podcast, pulling out her texts claiming confusion about the subpoena’s basis, and criticized Lively’s team for letting TMZ break the news before Owens had any formal notification.
Amidst these legal dramas, Owens made waves with combative debate moments opposite Piers Morgan on his Uncensored show, further sharpening her persona as an unapologetic right-wing commentator who relishes controversy.
On social media, Owens' recent Instagram activity offered rare glimpses of her private life. Images of her and her children gearing up for the fall sparked speculation about whether she’s attempting to soften her public image or if these appearances are merely accidental exposure. Analysts note that her usual strategy is to shield her family from the media, with some interpreting the timing of these posts as efforts to humanize her amid legal turmoil, though no official statement has clarified her intent.
Owens’ camp, through statements to Deadline and Just Jared, framed the Macron lawsuit as a First Amendment battle, rejecting the idea she’d be silenced by “a foreign government.” Nonetheless, legal experts in French and US media debate whether Owens’ free speech protections will shield her from potentially ruinous damages.
These past days have highlighted Candace Owens’ gift for staying at the center of culture wars—her personal brand thrives on drama and division, leveraging every controversy to rally her audience, all while the long-term consequences of these bitter legal battles remain uncertain.
