Candace Owens is currently in a legal battle with the French president over her allegation that his wife was born a man
US conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte, is a transgender woman, has alleged that he has authorized her assassination.
Owens, a popular YouTuber and podcaster, is currently in a legal dispute with the Macron family after releasing her series ‘Becoming Brigitte’ earlier this year. In the podcast, she alleged that the first lady was born male and was related to the French president by blood. It also claimed that Emmanuel Macron had been involved in a CIA mind-control program.
In response, the Macrons filed a defamation suit, accusing Owens of spreading “outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions.”
In a post on X on Friday, Owens said she had been contacted by “a high-ranking employee of the French government,” who claimed that “the Macrons have executed upon and paid” for the assassination of both her and French journalist Xavier Poussard.
Poussard, the former editor of Faits et Documents, previously promoted a theory alleging that Brigitte Macron, born Trogneux, had died young and that her older brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, later had a sex change and assumed her identity before marrying Emmanuel Macron.

“More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in the National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assassination squad and the plans were formalized,” Owens wrote.
“This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out,” she said.
The identity controversy surrounding the French first lady first surfaced in 2021, when Amandine Roy and journalist Natacha Rey claimed she had been born a man. A French court initially ruled in Macron’s favor in 2024 before an appeals court overturned the verdict in July 2025.
