In the latest dose of political drama, Candace Owens claims that former President Donald Trump personally called her to discuss her eyebrow-raising comments about Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France. According to Owens, Trump asked her to cool it on her allegations that Brigitte is a trans woman, prompted by Macron’s visit to the White House seeking some damage control over Owens’ viral podcast series, ‘Becoming Brigitte.’ Talk about a scandal that could fuel a whole season of a reality show!
Owens hasn’t backed down, though. She insists that Trump’s intervention won’t stop her from expressing her opinions, and she’s doubling down by continuing to air her views despite the claim’s fallout. Meanwhile, the Macrons are not having it— they’ve slapped Owens with a defamation lawsuit, saying her claims have seriously damaged their reputation. Can you imagine the dinner table conversations at the Élysée Palace right now? Probably not as cozy as you’d think.
This whole saga raises questions about freedom of speech versus defamation. It’s like watching a political chess match, where every move could lead to legal repercussions. So, what do you think? Is it okay to push the envelope with claims like Owens has, or does it cross a line that shouldn’t be crossed? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
