I read through the complaint and saw primarily defamation per se causes of action after rambling facts that basically say Owens defamatorily accused Macron of identity theft (ie that Brigitte stole the Brigitte identity). Since that is a statement of a committed crime which Macron denies, then Macron under a defamation per se theory would NOT have to prove damages, would only have to prove that statements were made that Brigitte Macron committed a crime. I didn't read the rest of the complaint after spotting that clever side-step away from the issue of statements of Brigitte Macron being a biological man to instead focus on statements by Owens that Brigitte Macron committed the identity theft crime. Also, I remember watching the series on Brigitte is a man, but don't recall anything about Owens stating that there was identity theft. So yes, it's a bullshit lawsuit that Macrons think they can avoid the biological sex issue and instead focus on the red herring identity theft.
