France Did Not Pay Owens To Stop Macron Reports

Listen To Story Above

Recent claims circulating on social media suggest that France has allegedly offered conservative commentator Candace Owens substantial financial compensation to cease her reporting on French First Lady Brigitte Macron. The viral post on X, which has garnered over nine million views, specifically claims that the offer includes a one-time payment of $4 million plus monthly payments of $50,000 for life.

However, this claim appears to be entirely unfounded. Neither Emmanuel Macron’s official channels nor Owens’ platforms have acknowledged such an offer, and no credible evidence supports this assertion. In fact, Snopes has already dismissed these claims as false in their March 13 fact-check.

Holy Crap, Candace Owen’s is about ready to drop an Earth Shattering revelation about the Tranny wife (husband) of Emanuel Macron, and about the pain staking, ignorant methods they have used to try and stop her from publishing. I got this from TicTok pic.twitter.com/senVvmOmdb

The context behind these claims stems from Owens’ recent YouTube series titled “Becoming Brigitte,” where she explores controversial theories about the French First Lady. During an episode of her podcast “Candace,” Owens mentioned receiving a legal threat from President Macron regarding her commentary about his wife.

This situation follows other recent controversies involving Owens. In November, she faced visa rejections from both New Zealand and Australia for speaking engagements. The Australian rejection reportedly cited controversial statements attributed to Owens regarding Jewish experiences in Nazi concentration camps, according to The Associated Press.

The viral social media post making rounds about the alleged French payment offer provides no substantiation for its claims. A thorough review of President Macron’s official website and social media accounts reveals no mention of such an offer. Similarly, Owens has not addressed these claims through any of her official communication channels.

Requests for comment have been sent to both Owens and President Macron’s office regarding these allegations.
