Candace Owens has stirred controversy by alleging on live TV that the wife of the French president ‘has a penis’.
The 36-year-old known for her conservative commentary is frequently at the center of contentious discussions and conspiracy theories.
Recently, Owens, originally from New York, faced backlash from Erika, the widow of Charlie Kirk. Erika accused Owens of promoting baseless, inflammatory theories about her late husband’s murder in September. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot in the neck while giving a speech at Utah Valley University.
Owens, who likened her friendship with Kirk to that of ‘brother and sister’, has alleged that the government is withholding information about his assassination. She has also made claims of financial misconduct within the conservative nonprofit, where Erika currently serves as CEO.
Following a ‘productive conversation’ with Erika, it appears that Owens has shifted her focus to the French president’s spouse, Brigitte Macron.
During an interaction with British journalist Piers Morgan, Candace was asked if her YouTube views increased after discussing Kirk.
Morgan noted that online conspiracy theorists sometimes exploit ‘deliberate lies for money’, referencing Alex Jones. The right-wing commentator was ordered to pay $1.6 billion in damages to families after falsely claiming the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 was a ‘hoax’.
Morgan also brought up Macron in light of her numerous defamation lawsuits against individuals for making sexist remarks and false claims about her gender and sexuality online.
This summer, the 72-year-old Macron filed a 219-page lawsuit against Owens, accusing her of conducting a ‘campaign of global humiliation’ by making outrageous claims that she was born male.
Despite the legal threats, Owens continues with her assertions.
“Brigitte Macron has a penis,” she stated on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show. “I really want you to know that, Piers. It’s important.”
The journalist interjected: “Brigitte Macron does not have a penis.”
“Brigitte Macron has a penis, I’m sorry,” Owens retorted.
When Morgan, 60, pointed out that Macron has three children, Owens responded: “Did she get it removed? Yeah, you can have adoptive children. You can call somebody, but Brigitte Macron was born a dude named Jean-Michel Trogneux, and I just feel – I want you to know that.
“I want you to know that Brigitte Macron probably pees standing up.”
Morgan then commented: “The beauty is, we have a big bet and we’re going to find out because it’s going to go to court and you will lose that court case. I think you know you will.”
While Owens remains firm that she is speaking the truth, the televised debate has left viewers confused.
“Candace really is bats*** crazy,” one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“She’s stark raving mad,” another commented.
A third added: “Candace is Alex Jones 2.0 as the Sandy Hook hoax claims. He did it for years and finally got what he deserved legally.
“She will do the same making bogus claims, hurting families in the process. She will taste the consequences of the law no doubt about it. But for now she’s milking the best she can the situation even it’s evil. Believing her claims says a lot about yourself.”
Requests for comment have been sent to Macron’s representatives.
