I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying,” her post read. In a lawsuit totaling 200 pages, the Macrons are suing for “22 counts of defamation and related claims, and are seeking actual and punitive damages (the amount was not specified), as well as legal costs.” Ms. Owens “disregarded all credible evidence disproving her claim,” the filing says, and “rather than engage with President and Mrs. Macron’s attempts to set the record straight, Owens mocked them and used them as additional fodder for her frenzied fan base.” “Because Ms. Owens systematically reaffirmed these falsehoods in response to each of our attorneys’ repeated requests for a retraction, we ultimately concluded that referring the matter to a court of law was the only remaining avenue for remedy,” the Macrons’ statement read.

Calls Grow For Governor Newsom To Grant Tory Lanez Clemency
Tory Lanez’s legal battle continues to draw national attention, with prominent figures now stepping in to advocate for his release. The Canadian artist, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence following his 2023 conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. Despite the verdict, many supporters believe he deserves clemency, including former New Jersey Assemblyman Jamel Holley and White House appointee Jack Brewer. Holley recently took a formal step by sending a petition directly to California Governor Gavin Newsom, urging him to grant Lanez a pardon. “I humbly implore you to exercise your authority…to grant clemency, correcting a grave injustice and safeguarding a life,” Holley wrote, insisting that “Mr. Peterson’s conviction rests on unstable foundations.” Brewer has also made his stance public, using social media to highlight what he believes is an unjust situation, especially for Lanez’s son. “As an advocate for 2nd Chance Fathers, I can’t stay silent about Tory Lanez,” Brewer wrote on X. “This is another broken case that points to someone else, another father is lost to a system that rewards headlines over truth. Fatherlessness is destroying our nation.” Brewer didn’t stop there, calling on Governor Newsom to take action. “If Tory was an illegal alien there would be protests in the streets,” he added. “It’s not right. Governor Gavin Newsom, you have the power to right this wrong. This is bigger than one man, it’s about every child growing up without their dad, every family torn apart by injustice. I’m asking you to lead with courage, compassion, and fairness. Bring a father home.” Lanez won’t be eligible for parole until November 2029, but if denied, he could remain behind bars until 2033.

So as long as you can imagine, as long as you are going to be creative, and as long as you let your mind work, you don’t have to retire.” The 25-time Grammy Award winner said he still gets excited about music just like he did when he released his first album at 12. “I love playing music, that’s like my mantra. I think I can do all the stuff I want to do – still have fun and do what I need to do – but I’m not going to stop the gift that keeps pouring through my body,” he said. “I love doing what I’m doing,” Wonder added. While some artists may have an issue playing their hits, Wonder loves to play the hits from his enormous catalog. “Songs are like children, they’re with you forever,” he said. ‘They are statements from the spirit within you, and singing those songs is like me taking another breath.” Recently, Wonder answered all the conspiracy theories about him not being blind. “I must say to all of you, something that I was thinking, ‘When did I want to let the world know this?’ But I wanted to say it right now,” Wonder said at tour stop in Wales. “You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that? But seriously, you know the truth.” “Truth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind,” Wonder continued. “Now, that was a blessing because it’s allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth, of sight. See people in the spirit of them, not how they look. Not what color they are, but what color is their spirit?” Currently, Wonder is performing on the “Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart Tour,” with shows in Pittsburgh, New York City, and Atlanta.
