FBI Director Kash Patel's longtime girlfriend Alexis Wilkins is suing a former FBI agent and conservative podcast host for alleging that she is a Mossad agent sent to compromise her partner in a honeypot operation.
In the lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in Texas, Wilkins sued podcaster Kyle Seraphin for $5 million for “falsely asserting that she, an American-born country singer, is an agent of a foreign government, assigned to manipulate and compromise the director of the FBI,” her attorney wrote.
She said that Seraphin, a self-alleged “recovering FBI agent," and whistleblower, “maliciously lied” and used "this fabricated story as self-enriching clickbait" to garner more attention to his podcast.
The lawsuit comes after Seraphin alleged on his podcast, The Kyle Seraphin Show, that Patel "has had his own little ‘honeypot’ issue."
He went on to allege that Wilkins, 26, duped Patel, 45, into the relationship and alleged that she was an undercover Israeli intelligence officer.
“He’s got a girlfriend that is half his age, who is apparently is both a country music singer, a political commentator on Rumble, a friend of John Rich through [FBI deputy Director Dan] Bongino, who also now owns a big chunk of Rumble, and she’s also a former Mossad agent in what is like the equivalent of their NSA.
“But I’m sure that’s totally because, like, she’s really looking for like a cross-eyed, you know, kind of thickish built, super cool bro who’s almost 50 years old who’s Indian in America,” he said. “Like it has nothing to do with the fact that uh we’re really close to the Trump administration. Anyway, I’m sure that’s totally just like love. That’s what real love looks like.”
Podcaster says Patel's girlfriend secret Mossad agent
Wilkins's representative said that while she was not mentioned by name, the comments were obviously about her.
Seraphin accused Wilkins of being a spy for a foreign government, conducting espionage to undermine our national security and/or to manipulate federal law enforcement at the highest level, and even committing treason,” her lawyer wrote in the lawsuit.
Wilkins, a Christian country music singer and conservative political commentator on media platforms and organizations such as Rumble and PragerU, is notably not Jewish.
“Ms. Wilkins is not even Jewish, much less Israeli, and has never set foot in Israel ... The notion that her relationship with Dir. Patel is part of some plot against her country is vile and ridiculous," her lawyer wrote.
Wilkins and Patel have been publicly dating for two years, before he was tapped to lead the FBI by US President Donald Trump. Her lawyers say that Serpahin “knowingly, intentionally, willfully, wantonly, and maliciously" published his comments, entitiling her to punitive damages.
Seraphin later went on his podcast to say that he did not make the statements.
