Country singer Alexis Wilkins, who is dating FBI Director Kash Patel, has filed a defamation lawsuit against podcaster and former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, seeks $5 million in damages.
Wilkins filed her federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, located in Austin, a case assigned to Judge David A. Ezra, appointed to the court by President Reagan.
At the center of the dispute are explosive claims made during Seraphin’s August 22 podcast, where he told listeners that Wilkins was a “former Mossad agent” and a “honeypot” allegedly sent to compromise Patel. 26-year-old Wilkins is 19 years younger than Patel, 45.
The specific language complained about is found in paragraph 10 of Wilkins’ complaint against Seraphin, found here:
Wilkins’ attorneys say the allegations about her being a Mossad agent are flatly false. The lawsuit emphasizes that Wilkins was born in the United States, has never been to Israel, and is not Jewish. The complaint says Seraphin “acted with actual malice” by knowingly fabricating the story to build his audience and boost profits.
The Complaint notes that Seraphin did not name Wilkins by name, but simply referenced Patel’s girlfriend.
A national defamation expert exclusively tells the Gateway Pundit, “For defamation, one of the critical elements is that the defamatory statement be ‘of and concerning the Plaintiff‘ and if the identity is not clear exactly who he is referring to, then that’s going to be very difficult to prove defamation. The statements made would have to be obvious, to the people who knew her, to know it was her.”
“So, for instance, if he has multiple girlfriends, and if that’s not clear, and if the public listening to the show could not identify her with certainty, then that’s a major hole in their case. She likely has no damages as a result.”
Because Seraphin is a former FBI agent, Wilkins’ legal team argues that his accusations carried an added veneer of credibility that crossed the line far beyond speculation or hyperbole. The suit also points to the fact that Seraphin had personally met both Patel and Wilkins at a political event two years earlier, undermining his claim that he did not know her background.
On Twitter, Seraphin appears to be doubling down, and is retweeting threads that show a variety of suspicious facts about Wilkins.

Seraphin has also denied wrongdoing, telling listeners that he does not recall meeting Wilkins and that he never made the exact statements now cited in the lawsuit.
The case sets up a high-profile legal battle, pitting a rising Nashville singer and the current FBI Director’s partner against a podcaster who has built an audience by taking shots at his former agency.
Patel has been widely criticized by activists in both parties for continuing the ongoing cover-up about the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who is accused of running underage sex blackmail and an international human trafficking operation. Many believe Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell were intelligence assets of Israel, and Epstein reportedly privately bragged to friends that he was a Mossad agent.
Last year, the New York Times also accused Israel of an ongoing ‘influence campaign’ to control lawmakers’ perceptions of the ongoing war in Gaza.
Seraphin first came to prominence as a 2023 whistleblower of internal FBI material to the journalism group Project Veritas which outlined how the Bureau planned to infiltrate and persecute traditionalist Catholics as potential ‘domestic terrorists.’ The FBI retaliated against the wrong FBI agent, Garrett O’Boyle, in a case that was finally settled this week, which say O’Boyle’s full reinstatement to his position, restoration of his security clearance, back pay, benefits, and additional damages. The Justice Department acknowledged that O’Boyle had engaged in protected whistleblowing activities by reporting concerns to Congress, rather than leaking information. The settlement also involves the reversal of prior disciplinary actions taken against him.
Wilkins is represented in the case by attorney Jason C. Greaves of Binnall Law Group out of Alexandria, Virginia. The case number is 1:25-cv-01375-DAE, and Seraphin has yet to respond to the case.
