Kash Patel Girlfriend Alleges MS Now Defamed Her

Wilkins says the article falsely claimed she was intoxicated and that Patel ordered FBI agents to escort a friend home, citing fabricated anonymous sources.

  • On Monday, country singer Alexis Wilkins filed a defamation lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Nashville against MS NOW, challenging a December 2025 report alleging FBI Director Kash Patel misused security resources for her social activities.
  • The disputed MS NOW report claimed Patel ordered security agents to escort an inebriated friend of Wilkins home after a night of partying in Nashville. Wilkins' legal team argues the claims are fabricated, asserting her security detail did not exist at the time.
  • Seeking over $75,000 in damages, Wilkins' lawsuit alleges MS NOW relied on "sham" anonymous sources to manufacture the story. Her attorneys state she "does not drink," claiming the outlet knowingly published false allegations to advance its own notoriety.
  • MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler stated the company "stands firmly behind MS NOW's reporting." The network has not publicly retracted the allegations, maintaining the story's validity despite the ongoing legal challenge.
  • This legal battle joins a broader series of controversies involving Patel's conduct as FBI director. Experts note the case will likely hinge on evidence and testimony discovered during proceedings rather than public allegations alone.
