The French president is currently suing the conservative US commentator over her allegations that his wife was born a man
Conservative US commentator and podcaster Candace Owens has posed for photos next to a face sculpture depicting an angry French President Emmanuel Macron at RT's stand at the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
The 3-D likeness which attracted Owens's attention is part of an exhibit called '12 Angry Viewers of RT.' It features the heads of the most prominent Western politicians and public figures to have criticized the broadcaster or attempted to cancel it over the years, including former US President Joe Biden, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the current leaders of Germany and the UK, Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky, tech entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, and others.
Last July, Macron and his wife, Brigitte, filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens after her repeated suggestions that France's first lady was born a man. The blogger, who has 6 million subscribers on YouTube, also claimed later that Macron had ordered her assassination.
During her interview with RT's Rick Sanchez on Thursday, Owens doubled down on her accusations, saying that she was "1,010%" convinced that Brigitte Macron is transgender, especially after the Macrons took her to court.
"I don't know who was advising them - a sitting president of a foreign country suing a podcaster in another country. This shows that there is something very true about the claims that are being made, not the opposite," she argued.
Owens arrived at SPIEF to participate in a panel on family values, titled "A Big Family, a Big Reach: New Demographics and Narratives for Media Leaders," which was held earlier in the day.
She made the trip to Russia with her husband and four kids, describing it as "a family vacation."
Before traveling to St. Petersburg, Owens toured Moscow, noting "it is genuinely shocking how clean, beautiful and orderly this city is. It is so far removed from media depictions."

"I'm starting to understand why the talking heads panic and shout and lie about 'Russian collusion' when they learn an American with a platform is traveling here," she wrote on X.
