FBI Director’s girlfriend takes MS NOW to court, accusing them of creating a ‘false portrayal’ that is ‘highly offensive’

Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has officially filed a lawsuit against MS NOW and reporters Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig in a federal court in Nashville, Tennessee. The suit accuses the news organization of spreading false allegations in an MS NOW report from December 5, 2025. The report claimed that Patel had ordered his girlfriend’s security detail to escort her inebriated friend home following a night of partying in Nashville.

Per NBC News, her attorneys, Kurt Beasley, Jason C. Greaves, and Jared R. Roberts, claim 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.’”
