FBI Director Kash Patel's Girlfriend Sues Ex-FBI-Agent Online Commentator Over Allegations That She Was an Israeli Spy

From the complaint in Wilkins v. Seraphin (W.D. Tex.), filed yesterday; as always, remember that these are just allegations:

Defendant Kyle M. Seraphin has maliciously lied about Alexis Wilkins, 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. Defendant, a former FBI special agent himself, who now makes a living as a podcaster and political commentator—profiting on controversy and outrage—is using this fabricated story as self-enriching clickbait and has spread it to his sizable audience that follows his daily broadcasts on X, Rumble, and YouTube. Accordingly, Ms. Wilkins seeks to hold Defendant accountable for his malicious and knowing lies.

The Complaint claims that Seraphin stated this last week on his show:

[FBI Director Kash Patel] has had his own little 'honeypot' issue that's been going on of late, so we're just going to acknowledge it real publicly. 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 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. 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.

It goes on to argue:

Defendant cannot even claim ignorance or negligence, because he has personally met Ms. Wilkins with Mr. Patel at a conservative political event roughly two years ago, and was specifically aware from that encounter that Ms. Wilkins was in a relationship with Mr. Patel, who was not the FBI director at that time

For more on the earlier iterations of the allegations against Wilkins, see this N.Y. Post article. Should be an interesting case to follow.

"The defamatory statements have directly and proximately caused Ms. Wilkins to suffer significant damages, including damage to her reputation, humiliation, and embarrassment, the nature of which is ongoing and long-lasting. These damages were foreseeable and intended by Defendant.
26. Defendant published the defamatory statements knowingly,
intentionally, willfully, wantonly, and maliciously, with intent to harm Ms. Wilkins, or in blatant disregard for the substantial likelihood of causing her harm, thereby entitling Ms. Wilkins to an award of punitive damages."

This is another area where the toxic lawyer profession is divorced from reality. She is accused of a crime by a civilian. It hurt her feelings. No physical or financial damage is specified.

If a government official were to falsely do the same, the damages both in loss of freedom and in expenses would be massive. Yet, the dirty government lawyer would be absolutely immune from liability, even if he engaged in criminal conduct himself. All costs should come from personal assets. Legal immunity fully justifies violent retaliation in formal logic. I plan to submit an amicus brief in the Luigi Mangione trial. I want to justify defendants who hurt immune parties. The estimate is that the victim was killing 50000 patients a year by his business practice of denying payment for care. The purpose was to enrich his company and his compensation for doing that. Yet, he had absolutely immunity. 90% of the 50000 insurance company victims died slowly, painfully, in humiliation from loss of function. The victim's death was too merciful compared to that of metastatic cancer to 100 places in bones, each as painful as a bone fracture. The radiation used to alleviate them is not much less sickening than the pain.

That being said, this couple validates the Equity Theory. She is young, hot, and talented. He is old, ugly, not especially charming, nor rich. He has celebrity, the most powerful pheromone of all. Both are ahead. It would have been better if she were 19, and trauma free, less bitter about males, compared to 29.

This beautiful girl kept staring at me. And, I was no longer cute. I said, "What?" She replied, "I heard you on the radio." It was a 5 minute segment.

Supremacy Claus, somehow I don't think the "amicus brief" you propose to submit will be helpful to Luigi Mangione.

[Supremacy Claus]

Formal logic is supreme over all statutes, constitutions, ratified treaties. These are filled with vaguely defined terms, ambiguities, and decision quandaries.

Formal logic has 100% certainty, more certainty than all the laws of physics. For example, a spot on the moon cannot be located with less a meter's uncertainty from chaotic gravitational forces in the solar system.

Ignoring formal logic violates Luigi's Fifth Amendment Procedural Due Process right to a fair hearing. Fair means, repeatable, across cases, across time, across places. Nothing in the law comes close to 100% certainty.

Immunity is also lawless in the constitution that prohibits titles of nobility. All legal immunities are unconstitutional.

This article reviews the mainstream view about the illegality of immunity. I am am adding the irresistible argument of formal logic from high school.

Henry of Bratton said, the Sovereign speaks with the voice of God, cannot be wrong. Immunity is justified in the common law by a committable, psychotic delusion. Henry was a student of St. Thomas, and French, not even English. Bratton is Brittany today. Contrast that to taking the Emperor of Prussia to local court when he caused a damage.

An inimicus curiae brief?

[Supremacy Claus]

I am the lawyer profession's best friend. I want to make it great for the first time. Effective Rule of Law is mandatory for civilization. Legal liability has to replace endless cycles of violent revenge. It permits people to stop spending their full time on physical survival and more time on productive, valuable activities.

The profession must be dragged out of its chemical waste dump. It is not being restored because it never worked.

Look for the lawyer profession 2.0. You will like it.

[Supremacy Claus]

Hi, Eugene. I read your advice, 90% usual arguments surrounding 10% new argument. In this case, the usual arguments are expensive but silly: nitpicking and impairment. The crime is too notorious and extreme to be derailed by nitpicking procedure. Luigi was totally superior in all areas of function. Compare to the 100% certainty of formal logic, supported and compelled by the Fifth Amendment. The victim and those in his position in other insurance companies probably killed millions of people to enhance the profits of their companies and their compensation for doing that. The lawyer profession not only allowed it. It immunized them in several federal statutes.

1. Privacy Violations — HIPAA & Medical Records
Mangione’s attorneys are contending that the Manhattan DA’s office improperly obtained and reviewed his protected medical records. They argue that even basic information—like insurance coverage dates and account numbers—qualify as protected health information under HIPAA and should not have been disclosed by Aetna without proper safeguards or redaction.
They’ve requested an evidentiary hearing aimed at:
Possibly suppressing evidence derived from those records,
Recusal of members of the prosecution team, and
Dismissal of the indictment altogether.
2. Constitutional Objections — Double Jeopardy & Due Process
The defense has filed motions to dismiss state charges on the grounds that simultaneous federal and state prosecutions violate Mangione’s constitutional rights—especially protections against double jeopardy and due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. They describe the situation as unprecedented “prosecutorial one-upmanship.”
They also challenge the state terrorism charge, arguing that evidence fails to demonstrate Mangione intended to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population” or influence government policy—an element required for a terrorism enhancement.
3. Suppression of Physical Evidence & Arrest Procedures
Though less prominently featured in the latest filings, earlier defenses have focused on the validity of the arrest and the linkage of physical evidence—such as shell casings and the firearm—to Mangione. His Pennsylvania-based attorney has argued that flaws in arrest procedures and evidence collection could undermine the prosecution’s case.
4. Alternative Mitigating Strategies
Legal commentators have speculated on additional defensive angles that could emerge:
Insanity or diminished capacity defenses—potentially to avert the death penalty, pending examination of Mangione’s mental health and motivations.
Jury nullification—where jurors might sympathize with Mangione’s anti–health-insurance-industry beliefs and acquit regardless of the evidence.

Brevity, Brevity, EV doesn’t have time to trudge through your ditritus

[Supremacy Claus]

Nothing I say matters. EV is a denier of the self evident, as is 100% of this profession in utter failure. All the self stated goals of all 200 law subjects are in utter failure save one. They take our $1.5 tril. They return nothing of value, and are actively toxic. All social pathologies are 100% the fault of the lawyer profession. A natural experiment took place in DC this week. A non-lawyer, Trump sent soldiers into the street. He saved 10 black lives. He dropped crime on the spot to nearly zero, and in one day. That failed Mayor of DC? Trial lawyer. Hey, EV, you and your profession stink.

[not guilty]

"Nothing I say matters."

By George, I think he's got it!

[Bill Poser]

The law of defamation goes back centuries and is concerned with damage to reputation. False allegations of criminality have long constituted defamation per se. It is not necessary to prove any damages other than damage to reputation.

[Dr. Ed 2]

The other thing is the public good in offering this forum because otherwise it would be a .30-06 round.

Remember how Hamilton died...

Is Miss Wilkins about to become familiar with the Streisand effect?

[Supremacy Claus]

Is there such a thing as an intentional Streisand Effect for attention hooers like those two?

[ducksalad]

Hadn't heard of her until this.

First impression looking only at images: Kash Patel doesn't deserve someone who looks like that. Decided not to research further or listen to the music, it's always depressing to find that a beautiful woman has ugly ideas.

Second impression: Hate to say it but Claus may be right for once. This could be a way for a 3rd (or lower) tier country music performer to get some attention from record labels.

[TwelveInchPianist]

"it's always depressing to find that a beautiful woman has ugly ideas."

Yeah, if only women would look pretty, ignore what their ladybrains tell them, and turn to you for ideas, amirite?

[Dr. Ed 2]

Well she's into patriotic music.

When you realize how immature young men are today, maybe that's why she is with Kash.

Back in the day there was an entertainer called Little David Wilkins. (The adjective was a reference to his substantial girth.) He had some minor hits such as One Monkey Don't Stop No Show and Whoever Turned You On Forgot to Turn You Off.

I wonder if this plaintiff is any relation.

“see this N.Y. Post article. Should be an interesting case to follow.”

Boy if this doesn’t really sum up the state of the new VC I’m not sure what does.

[Lee Moore]

Aware of sources that report actual news in real time, rather than wait a few days until the DNC has got its reaction memo agreed and distributed ?

Is that a bad state for the VC to be in ?

[Estragon]

“DNC has got its reaction memo agreed and distributed”

I am making a comment about VC’s editorial choices and how they have changed over the years. I have no idea what you are talking about but you sound like a loon.

[Frank Drackman]

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle

[Lee Moore]

And the particular comment you were making was that the NY Post is an inappropriate source of story for a "serious" legal blog. The only other thing you could have wished to comment on as to the VC's editorial choices would have been that a story about the FBI Director's girlfriend maybe being an agent of a foreign intelligence service is too trivial for a "serious" legal blog. Which would indeed have been the comment of a loon. So we're left with your contempt for the NY Post.

I merely pointed out that the NY Post is an actual newspaper, whereas the NYT and Washington Post - which I don't doubt you imagine are serious newspapers - are nothing of the kind, being mere Op-Ed sheets which usually lag the NY Post in reporting actual news by a couple of days because they are focussing on the correct angle of spin rather then the news itself.

In short you were being snooty about the NY Post and I was pointing out that you're a twit.

No offense intended, of course. Just the facts, Ma'am.

[Bored Lawyer]

Discovery in the case will be interesting. Will the defendant try to serve a subpoena on the Mossad?

[Dr. Ed 2]

Wouldn't Israeli sovereign immunity preclude that?

[Frank Drackman]

If she's not an Israeli Spy, she oughta be, I mean, if she was my GF, I'd have her handcuff me, tickle my toes, try to get me to give up NSI, oh wait, damn Internal Monologue
and my man Kash has got game, as that other Cocksman Henry R Kissinger famously said, when Mao asked him how a Fat Jewish man dated so many beautiful women,
"Power is the Ultimate Aphrodisiac" (You have to say it in a Henry Kissinger accent to get the full effect)

Someone -- Churchill, Disraeli -- had a really stupid wife and he loved her dearly because after spending a day in debate, he could come home and not have to think.

There are things she might see in him, perhaps he's an anchor.

It's really none of our business.
