YouTube commentator Candace Owens had better take note.

Ten people in France have been found guilty of “degrading and insulting” comments about France’s First Lady, Mrs Brigitte Macron.

A Paris court has handed out suspended prison sentences to them for posting numerous false claims that she was born a man.

The American Candace Owens has maintained this accusation, doubling down on it despite facing a serious lawsuit by the Macrons filed in the United States. If the Macrons win, Owens’ reputation will be shredded and her credibility questioned.

Mrs. Macron said she began her legal proceedings to “ set an example” against harassment. In her legal case against Candace Owens, she will be providing physical evidence that she was not born a man.

Nowadays ,many go online and say whatever they want without their utterances being substantiated. Brigitte Macron has found the conspiracy theories against her hurtful and they have impacted her reputation. She has insisted that these assertions about her gender constitute false information and should cease.

Mrs. Macron’s daughter Tiphaine Auziere said of these vile accusations against her mother, “ She cannot ignore the horrible things said about her.”

The presiding judge in the Paris said in his ruling that there was “a wave of hatred” that Brigitte Macron has been exposed to for years with negative effects on her health.

He  added that France’s First Lady would suffer from the rumours because she knows all heads of state would be aware of the conspiracy theories spread about her on the internet when she travels overseas.
