Legal Ruling on Defamation Claims

  • ⚖️ A French appeals court has cleared two journalists, Amandine Roy and Natasha Ray, of defamation charges related to claims about Brigitte Macron's gender.
  • 💡 The court ruled that their allegations, including that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean Michel Trogneux, were made in good faith and did not constitute defamation.
  • 📣 This ruling is seen as a significant win for Owens and those who have promoted the story, effectively validating their claims in the eyes of many.

Piers Morgan's Bet and Candace Owens' Stance

Evidence and Court Case Details

  • 🔍 Owens argues that Brigitte Macron has refused to provide evidence, such as photos from her first 30 years of life or with her alleged brother, to dispute the claims.
  • 🏛️ The original defamation case was based on an 18-instance claim from a YouTube video, which the court found insufficient to prove defamation.
  • 🚀 The legal team for the journalists plans to appeal the case to the highest court, asserting that Brigitte Macron is a man.
