Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, are planning to present photographic and scientific evidence to a US court to prove Mrs. Macron is a woman. Their lawyer says the French president and Mrs. Macron will present the documentation in a defamation suit they have taken against the right-wing influencer Candace Owens after she promoted her belief that Brigitte Macron was born male. Ms. Owens' lawyers have responded with a motion to dismiss the claim. Speaking to the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast, the Macrons' lawyer in the case, Tom Clare, said Mrs. Macron had found the claims 'incredibly upsetting' and they were a 'distraction' to the French president. Mr. Clare reinforced that there would be 'expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature' to demonstrate that the allegations are false. The couple is determined to set the record straight, even if it means subjecting themselves to scrutiny in a public court setting.
