**Arab Sea - Follow-ups:** **French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte intend to present photographic evidence and scientific reports to an American court, as part of a defamation lawsuit they filed against American right-wing media personality Candace Owens, after she promoted a rumor claiming that the French First Lady was born male.** **The couple's lawyer, Tom Clare, told the BBC that these allegations are "extremely disturbing" and put pressure on the family, stressing that the couple is ready to prove their falsity in a "complete and specific" manner. He added that the evidence may include photos documenting Brigitte's life as a mother to her three children.** **The rumor dates back to 2021 when two French bloggers promoted these allegations via "YouTube." Macron and his wife had won a defamation case against them in France in 2024, before the ruling was overturned on appeal in early 2025. Last July, they filed a new lawsuit against Owens in the United States, accusing her of deliberately promoting conspiracy theories despite overwhelming evidence.**
