Macron's lawsuit against Candace Evans was limited after the judges' decision: The influencer, who will not have to face negative consequences for her personal assets in the event of a judicial victory for the Macrons, said she was "grateful". A Delaware judge has limited Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron's defamation lawsuit against Candace Evans, ruling that she is not personally liable. The lawsuits against the influential companies, on the other hand, remain valid, but the judge raised the possible application of the French statute of limitations (three months), which could lead to the dismissal of the complaint.
