Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron are renewing their legal campaign against US influencer Candace Owens, this time targeting her in her home state of Tennessee over transphobic misinformation about her. An earlier complaint filed in Delaware in 2025 did not succeed: a magistrate there ruled that the podcaster could not be held personally responsible because of the statute of limitations, according to Le Monde.
