Candace Owens says she’s willing to stake her professional career on the unfounded rumor that French First Lady Brigitte Macron was born a male.
Brigitte, 70, is the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron. They met when he was 15 and she was his school teacher.
In a Twitter/X post, Owens said she would stake her “entire professional reputation” on the claim.
Owens linked to a video in which she further claimed Brigitte and her older brother are the same person.
She alleged that Brigitte was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux, before eventually transitioning at age 30.
Owens ignores existing photos of Mrs. Macron as a toddler and a teenager.
She insists that Brigitte refuses to release more photos of herself before age 30.
The conspiracy was reignited following an interview Emmanuel Macron’s step-daughter, Tiphaine Auziere, gave to Paris Match about her mother.
Tiphaine was just 10 when she found out that her teacher mom was involved with a 15-year-old student (Emmanuel).
But Tiphaine dismissed claims that her mother Brigitte was born a male.
“I have concerns about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man,” she said.
Michelle Obama, wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama, is also plagued by unfounded rumors that she was born a male.
Mrs. Obama has never addressed the rumors publicly. Childhood photos of Mrs. Obama are easily accessible on the Internet.
