Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Candace Owens has been everywhere lately and not in ways she would script. The single biggest headline is her legal war with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. The Macrons filed a massive defamation lawsuit in late July in Delaware Superior Court, triggered by Owens repeatedly claiming Brigitte Macron is male. The lawsuit, packed with hundreds of pages of Owens’ statements and conspiracy theories, accuses her of a campaign to humiliate the French first lady for personal brand gain—a rare spectacle of a world leader coming after a U.S. influencer in court, as USA Today details. Owens immediately swung back with taunts and lengthy podcast rants, saying to the Macrons, ‘I think you’re sick…I am fully prepared to take on this battle.’ She is now promoting ‘Free Emmanuel’ merch for $30 a pop and publicly begging Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to help her fight legal fees, but so far they have kept their distance, as discussed by Marc Lamont Hill on YouTube.

Her legal team is not sitting still, either. The Rush Hour Podcast says Owens will file a motion to dismiss the Macrons’ case, with her lawyers seeking extra word counts because they’re planning to cite her entire ‘Becoming Breit’ podcast series in the official record. She has promised to depose President Macron and frame the fight as a free speech battle, but analysts doubt her chances: public figures must prove actual malice, but the case shines a harsh international spotlight on her methods and motives.

It is not her only legal spat—Owens also made the entertainment press after actress Blake Lively’s lawyers reportedly subpoenaed her in connection to an alleged smear campaign against Lively’s colleague Justin Baldoni. Owens claimed in People via TMZ she never got the subpoena and had no clue why she was scapegoated but ranted about it on her own podcast, pulling up private texts to clear her name as reported by IMDb.

At the same time, Owens remains as provocative as ever online. On September 9, Gay Times reported her YouTube channel was suspended and demonetized for hate-speech violations, singling out in particular a Kanye West interview where antisemitic tropes were aired. Her rhetoric has stayed fiery: in recent weeks she picked public fights over trans rights, including viral, explicitly anti-trans commentary and blaming LGBTQ activism for society’s ills.

Social media activity has noticeably slowed, likely due to the dual court battles and platform penalties, and there are no new major business launches since her March firing from The Daily Wire. At this point, the ongoing lawsuits look to define her near-term biography: already notorious for incendiary claims, Owens is now one of the only American media personalities to be sued by a head of state, making these developments more than just salacious headlines—they could be career-defining confrontations.
