Macrons Hired Private Investigator over Candace Owens Before Defamation Suit
The Macrons hired U.S. investigators to examine Candace Owens' background and political ties before filing a 22-count defamation lawsuit over her promotion of baseless conspiracy theories.
- Last month, French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron hired U.S.-based Nardello & Co. before suing Candace Owens in Delaware Superior Court.
- A Spanish blogger initiated the claims in 2017, and Owens first referenced the rumor on her show in March 2024, later hosting Xavier Poussard.
- Despite probing for Russian ties, investigators found no direct Russian connections but documented Owens' interactions with Russian political theorist Alexander Dugin.
- She wrote on X: `How is this not mental illness? @EmmanuelMacron is being absolutely humiliated` and refused to back down despite the lawsuit, continuing her attacks on the Macrons.
- Amid ongoing defamation cases, the Macrons highlight Owens' 'routinely peddling misinformation' as part of 'transvestigation' tactics, with a recent French court decision overturning an earlier award.
