Candace Owens Alleges White House Acknowledged Her Claim That Macron Plotted Against Her and French Operatives Were Involved in Kirk’s Killing
Conservative commentator Candace Owens announced her show will be off the air this week as she faces mounting controversy over explosive allegations that French President Emmanuel Macron ordered a hit on her. The claims, which Owens says have been acknowledged by both the White House and U.S. counterterrorism agencies, come amid an ongoing defamation lawsuit filed against her by the Macrons.
Owens’ Shocking Allegations
Owens took to social media to share an update on her situation, stating, “As an update, both the White House and our counterterrorism agencies have confirmed receipt of what I reported publicly: Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize my assassination, per a source close to the first couple.” She further claimed that French legionnaires were involved in the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, but “did not act alone.”
Owens urged skeptics to look to official statements from the President of the United States and intelligence agencies to verify her claims, saying, “For all of you who doubted my claims, you can now look to the President of the United States and our intelligence communities to issue a statement to confirm whether I am telling the truth.”
Her comments follow her previous assertion that Macron had earmarked $1.5 million for an assassin to kill her, a claim that has not been independently verified by any official source.
Legal Battle With the Macrons
Owens is currently embroiled in a lawsuit filed by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron after she repeatedly claimed, in an eight-part series, that Brigitte Macron is actually a man who stole another woman’s identity and transitioned to become the French First Lady. The Macrons’ complaint, filed in July, alleges that Owens knowingly published “demonstrably false” information for the sake of fame rather than truth.
“These claims are demonstrably false, and Owens knew they were false when she published them,” the lawsuit states. “Yet, she published them anyway. And the reason is clear: it is not the pursuit of truth, but the pursuit of fame.”
The Macrons’ attorneys said they had repeatedly requested Owens retract her statements, but she refused. “Ms. Owens’ campaign of defamation was plainly designed to harass and cause pain to us and our families and to garner attention and notoriety,” they said. “We gave her every opportunity to back away from these claims, but she refused. It is our earnest hope that this lawsuit will set the record straight and end this campaign of defamation once and for all.”
A Week Off Air
In light of these developments, Owens announced, “Our show will be off the air this week,” leaving fans and critics alike speculating about her next move and the ongoing legal and security concerns.
The Bigger Picture
Owens’ allegations come at a time of heightened scrutiny over misinformation, defamation, and the responsibilities of public figures. Her claims regarding the Macrons—both the alleged assassination plot and the accusations against Brigitte Macron—have intensified debate over the boundaries of free speech, the consequences of public statements, and the role of legal action in protecting reputations.
Meanwhile, the suggestion that French legionnaires were involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination adds another layer of controversy, with no public evidence or official confirmation to support the claim.
Conclusion
As Candace Owens steps back from her show this week, the fallout from her allegations and the Macrons’ lawsuit continues to unfold. With both legal and security questions unresolved, the situation remains fluid—underscoring the complex intersection of media, politics, and personal safety in today’s public arena.
