French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron are set to present photographic and scientific evidence in a U.S. court to affirm Brigitte’s gender, countering claims by conservative influencer Candace Owens.

The couple’s defamation lawsuit, filed in Delaware in July 2025, targets Owens for alleging Brigitte, 72, was born male and transitioned secretly.

Owens, 36, has pushed this narrative on her podcast and X, stating, "I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man."

Attorney Tom Clare, representing the Macrons, told BBC’s "Fame Under Fire" podcast, "There will be expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature."

Clare hinted at photographic evidence, including images of Brigitte pregnant, to be presented under court standards.

"It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward. It is a process that she will have to subject herself to in a very public way. But she’s willing to do it. She is firmly resolved to do what it takes to set the record straight," Clare said, underscoring the emotional toll allegations claiming Marcron is a man have had.

The lawsuit accuses Owens of ignoring credible evidence, instead amplifying conspiracy theorists.

"Owens disregarded all credible evidence disproving her claim in favor of platforming known conspiracy theorists and proven defamers," the complaint states. "And rather than engage with President and Mrs. Macron’s attempts to set the record straight, Owens mocked them and used them as additional fodder for her frenzied fan base."

Clare noted the strain on Emmanuel, 47, adding, "When your family is under attack, it wears on you. And he’s not immune from that because he’s the president of a country."

Owens’ claims echo earlier allegations in France by Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey, whom Brigitte sued in 2021.

Though initially ruled in her favor, the case was overturned, and Brigitte has appealed to France’s highest court.

Both Roy and Rey are named in the U.S. lawsuit.

Owens, seeking to dismiss the case, told PEOPLE through a spokesperson, “Candace Owens is not shutting up. This is a foreign government attacking the First Amendment rights of an American independent journalist. Candace repeatedly requested an interview with Brigitte Macron. Instead of offering a comment, Brigitte is resorting to trying to bully a reporter into submission. In France, politicians can bully journalists, but this is not France. It’s America."

Brigitte, who met Emmanuel as his teacher in 1993 when he was 15 and she was 39, married him in 2007.

The couple aims to prove her gender "both generically and specifically," Clare contends.

As evidence mounts and courts deliberate, the world watches whether truth will prevail over sensationalism.
