Candace Owens halted her show, claiming French President Emmanuel Macron plotted her murder. She also linked Macrons to Charlie Kirk's death and faces a defamat
Candace Owens, the outspoken media personality, has announced an unexpected hiatus for her show this week, citing extraordinary and unconfirmed claims against French President Emmanuel Macron. Owens stated publicly that she believes President Macron orchestrated an attempt on her life, prompting her to report the alleged plot to the White House and US counterterrorism teams, who she claims confirmed receipt of her filing.
Owens shared these startling accusations on X (formerly Twitter), explaining her show's suspension and her desire to inform the public about the gravity of the situation. According to Owens, a source close to the French First Couple disclosed Macron's alleged involvement in the murder plot. Furthermore, Owens controversially linked the Macrons to the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was killed on September 10, 2025, during a speech at Utah Valley University. She emphasized her belief that the Macrons did not act in isolation, suggesting that future statements from the US President and intelligence agencies would corroborate her assertions.
These recent allegations are not the first time Owens has made serious accusations against Emmanuel Macron. Previously, she claimed the French President paid $1.5 million to hire a hitman to kill her – a claim for which she has yet to provide public evidence.
Owens is currently embroiled in a high-profile defamation lawsuit filed by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron. The lawsuit stems from Owens' repeated claims that Brigitte Macron is secretly a man. The legal action specifically highlights an eight-part series Owens published, alleging Brigitte Macron was born male, assumed another woman's identity, and later underwent gender reassignment surgery. The Macrons' legal team asserts these claims are “demonstrably false” and that Owens disseminated them knowingly to gain fame and attention, causing significant harm to their reputation and family.
Despite multiple requests from the Macrons' lawyers to cease her publications, Owens reportedly persisted. The lawsuit aims to halt what the Macrons describe as a “campaign of defamation” and to officially correct the public record. This ongoing legal dispute underscores the severe tensions between Owens and the French First Family, escalating with her latest unverified claims of a presidential assassination plot.
