Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis sues MS NOW
Kash Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, has sued MS NOW, as per recent reports. Wilkins has accused the news organization of using “sham” anonymous sources. She claims “push knowingly or recklessly false allegations” about her misusing bureau resources.
Wilkins filed the suit in federal court in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday, May 28, 2026. The suit has named MS NOW as a defendant, alongside two reporters, Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig. Wilkins’ attorneys, Kurt Beasley, Jason C. Greaves, and Jared R. Roberts, said that the defendants “falsely asserted that Ms. Wilkins demanded, and Director Patel ordered, that federal agents assigned to her security detail—which did not even exist at the time—escort an intoxicated friend home after a ‘night of partying.’ In fact, they falsely portrayed Ms. Wilkins as being intoxicated, even knowing that she does not drink.”
“This false portrayal is highly offensive to Ms. Wilkins and would be to any reasonable person in her situation. Ms. Wilkins’ professional identity is of a responsible, sober young woman who does not partake in the excess drinking culture and party scene that is typical for musicians,” the lawyers added (via NBC).
Furthermore, according to the article, Patel ordered that the security detail protecting Wilkins escort one of her inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville. Notably, the article dates back to December 5, 2025.
MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler commented on the development, “We stand firmly behind MS NOW’s reporting. As a general matter of practice, we don’t comment on ongoing legal matters.”
