马克龙夫妇在田纳西州再诉美国主播Owens:88项指控 指其持续散布「第一夫人出生时是男性」的说法

法国总统马克龙与夫人布丽吉特11月4日向美国田纳西州中区联邦地区法院提起一项新的诽谤诉讼,起诉美国主播 Candace Owens 持续宣称布丽吉特出生时是男性。这起诉讼案号为3:26-cv-01765,由法官 Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. 审理,诉状长达400多页、共88项指控,包括诽谤、虚假光环(false light)与影射诽谤,原告要求陪审团审理;法院已于11月5日发出传票。
这已是马克龙夫妇第二次起诉 Owens。2025年7月,他们曾在特拉华州起诉 Owens 及其公司。10月27日,特拉华州高等法院法官 Sheldon K. Rennie 裁定特拉华州对住在田纳西州的 Owens 本人没有属人管辖权,将她个人从该案中剔除;特拉华的案件目前只针对她的两家公司 Candace Owens LLC 与 GeorgeTom Inc. 继续进行。
新诉状的一个新要素是:Owens 曾在节目中使用一个造型怪异的布丽吉特玩偶作为道具来嘲讽法国第一夫人。马克龙夫妇的律师团队称,这类内容是在被明确告知相关说法不实之后仍持续传播的。
Owens 11月9日在社交平台X上证实了新诉讼:「马克龙夫妇确实对我提起了一套新的指控,共88项。」马克龙办公室也向路透社证实了这次起诉。目前案件处于立案阶段,尚无开庭日期。
Macrons File a New Lawsuit Against US Podcaster Owens in Tennessee: 88 Counts Over Claims the First Lady Was Born Male
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a new defamation lawsuit on November 4 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against American podcaster Candace Owens, who has repeatedly claimed that Brigitte Macron was born male. The case, Macron v. Owens, No. 3:26-cv-01765, is assigned to Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr.; the complaint runs to more than 400 pages and 88 counts, including defamation, false light and defamation by implication, with a jury demanded. A summons was issued on November 5.
It is the couple's second suit against Owens. In July 2025 they sued Owens and her companies in Delaware. On October 27, Delaware Superior Court Judge Sheldon K. Rennie ruled that Delaware had no personal jurisdiction over Owens herself, a Tennessee resident, and dismissed her individually; the Delaware case continues against her two companies, Candace Owens LLC and GeorgeTom Inc., only.
A new element in the Tennessee complaint is Owens's use of a grotesque doll of Brigitte Macron as a prop to ridicule the French first lady. The Macrons' lawyers say the claims kept being spread after Owens had been told they were false.
Owens confirmed the new filing on X on November 9: 'The Macrons have indeed filed a NEW set of claims against me. 88 in total.' President Macron's office also confirmed the filing to Reuters. The case is at the filing stage and no hearing date has been set.
