my understand would be
make claim...get told the claim is not true and to stop because it is defamitory....repeat the claim
Its the point where she repeat it after being told to stop where she is in trouble, repeating somethign after you have been informed it is causing damage shows malice
i also understand the defence would be for it to be a genuinally held belief....but if youve been told it is untrue you would need to prove why you still believe it
But if there is little to no evidence to the contrary, and the originators of the rumour having their defamation suit overturned, plus quantifying damages is near impossible, then this is going to be a real tough case to win.
I was surprised by the veracity of the other claims, and tbh im confused by why Owens would target the Macrons. Its a bit of a weird hill.
Either way, then outcome for the Macrons would be a huge public circus if a jury trial happens.
