Candace Owens, the American conservative star, has struck again. She is recycling an old rumor that Brigitte Macron was born a man. This myth, stale since 2017, resurfaces with the fervor of a media evergreen.
Obviously, the First Lady does not intend to let this absurd attack pass. She has deployed a team of lawyers to demand that the polemicist stop immediately. But Owens, far from being intimidated, proudly displays the legal threat on her social networks. "If they sue me, it means they’re scared!" she proclaims. Conspiracy theories, when they grip us…
From Anti-Trump to Devoted Trumpist
Candace Owens has never been afraid of about-faces. In 2016, she insulted Donald Trump, comparing him to Hitler. Then, a sudden enlightenment: she becomes his fervent supporter. A change so radical it would make a metronome spin.
Today, she is one of the loudest voices of the American right. With her slogan "Blexit", she urges African Americans to leave the Democratic Party. The message resonates with Republicans, who see her as a significant asset in their ideological battle.
Who is Candace Owens? A Meteoric Rise
Born in 1989 in Stamford, Connecticut, Candace Owens grew up in a modest family. Raised by her grandparents after her parents’ divorce, she went through a teenage period marked by a significant incident: at 17, she was a victim of racist harassment by high school classmates. This significant event led to a lawsuit and financial compensation, but more importantly, it shaped her critical view on racial debates in the United States.
Initially drawn to progressive circles, she worked in journalism for a time before making a spectacular conservative turn. She became a rising star in right-wing media, notably through PragerU and The Daily Wire, where she now hosts her own talk show.
In her private life, Candace Owens has been married since 2019 to George Farmer, a British businessman and former president of Turning Point UK, a branch of the American conservative movement. Together, they form an influential couple in ultraconservative circles. The couple has welcomed two children, a boy born in 2021 and a girl in 2022. Owens, who advocates traditional family values, often highlights her motherhood as a symbol of her commitment against "modern" feminism.
Feminism, LGBT, Black Lives Matter: Owens Targets Everything
In the grand fair of controversies, Candace Owens collects enemies:
- Black Lives Matter Following the death of George Floyd? "A bunch of whiners," according to her.
- LGBT rights? She stigmatizes transgenders in the military.
- Feminism? "The biggest joke of the century," asserts the wife of a wealthy man.
- Abortion? A "genocide" of black babies. No less.
Her main weapon? A steely resolve. Every criticism becomes a conspiracy, orchestrated by the left, the elites… and probably Santa Claus.
Owens and Putin: Uncomfortable Friendships
Candace Owens doesn’t stop there. During the invasion of Ukraine, she praised Vladimir Putin, raving about his speeches. "I would have loved to invite him to a barbecue," she jokes. The effect is immediate: general outcry, including from some Republicans. But Donald Trump comes to her rescue, calling her a "brilliant thinker." Everything can continue then.
The BrigitteGate: Owens Invites Herself to France
Back to Brigitte Macron. Candace Owens seems convinced she is hiding a secret past and mobilizes French internet users: "Send me everything, report cards, class photos, DNA!" We’re bordering on science fiction.
In the conspiracy landscape, some journalists and internet users note her links with Xavier Poussard of Faits et Documents, as well as the praise she receives from a certain Alain Soral. The latter proudly wears a t-shirt with her image, while his site Égalité et Réconciliation enthusiastically shares her videos, presenting her as the ideal woman, muse of the "Black Trump" and embodiment of the "anti-system" fight.
Faced with these serious accusations, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron have responded by sending a legal notice. Owens rejoices: "I love it," she says, promising an explosive video… which is still awaited.
Storm on X, Shipwreck in Justice?
On X (formerly Twitter), Owens fuels the rumor — a song by a certain Amanda Lear — with hashtags like #BecomingBrigitte. But her evidence remains as elusive as the Loch Ness monster.
Problem: defamation in France is costly. Two French women have already been convicted for this rumor. Owens risks a lot. But far from being worried, she seems ready to turn her potential trial into a grand media show. Confetti and popcorn on the agenda.
A Media Megaphone Serving the Buzz
With 6.3 million followers on X and 5.5 million on Instagram, Owens doesn’t play in the small league. Her specialty? Continuous controversy. She hosts a talk show on The Daily Wire, alongside Ben Shapiro. An explosive duo, delighting the Trumpist right.
Trump, Owens, and the Business of Provocation
Donald Trump, always in search of new supporters, has endorsed Owens as a "brilliant intellectual." She then strings together interviews, talk shows, conferences, and drops punchlines: "Climate change? A myth! COVID? A joke!"
The only hitch: her influence sometimes exceeds simple debate. The Christchurch shooter in New Zealand even cited her in his manifesto. Enough to cast a worrying shadow over her discourse.
Beware of the Candace Owens Syndrome
Candace Owens is a media steamroller. Conspiracies, provocations, controversies: she orchestrates everything with surgical precision. Aided by whom? The controversy over Brigitte Macron? A golden advertisement for her podcast.
While the justice system considers possible prosecutions, Owens rubs her hands. International buzz, millions of views… The jackpot.
When will her next whim be? Could the Eiffel Tower be a democratic UFO? Go ahead, Candace, we’re waiting for you around the corner.
