FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend Alexis Wilkins filed a defamation lawsuit against Versant, the parent company of MS NOW, and reporters Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig on Monday.
The lawsuit accuses the reporters of publishing a “hogwash” story that implied the country singer was intoxicated and that one of her friends was so drunk that Patel “ordered” a security detail to take her home.
It also claimed MS NOW’s “hit piece” maliciously suggested she was a “heavy drinker” by saying she was out for a “night of partying” with her friends. “This is entirely false, as Ms. Wilkins very rarely drinks, if ever,” the lawsuit said....
The lawsuit said Dilanian and Leonnig were aware Wilkins did not have a security detail in the spring of 2025 because they broke the story in November 2025 that she had “been recently assigned a [security] detail, necessary due to credible death threats.”
A rep for MS NOW did not immediately respond to Mediaite’s request for comment.
