Hold onto your hats, folks—another media storm is brewing over FBI Director Kash Patel, and this time it’s about whether his girlfriend’s security detail was misused for a late-night errand in Nashville.

Reports from MS Now and the Washington Post have stirred controversy by alleging that Patel directed the security team protecting his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, to ferry one of her supposedly intoxicated friends home after a night out, a claim Wilkins has fiercely shot down on social media, KOMO News reported. 

Last month, Wilkins was assigned a protective detail by the FBI after receiving what the agency described as numerous credible death threats tied to her three-year relationship with Patel.

Threats Prompt Security for Wilkins

The FBI confirmed the gravity of the situation, emphasizing that the protection was necessary due to the volume and seriousness of the threats against her.

“Ms. Wilkins is receiving a protective detail because she has faced hundreds of credible death threats related to her relationship with Director Patel, whom she has been dating for three years,” the FBI stated in an official release.

“Out of respect for her safety, we will not be providing additional details,” the statement continued, signaling a firm boundary on further disclosures.

Media Allegations Spark Controversy

Fast forward to Friday, when reporters Ken Dilanian of MS Now and Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post dropped a bombshell report claiming Patel had repurposed Wilkins’ security detail for personal use.

According to Dilanian’s post on the social media platform X, the story came from “three people with knowledge” of the incident, though specifics on these sources remain murky at best.

Let’s be real—unnamed sources are the media’s favorite crutch when pushing a narrative, and this tale of a boozy Nashville night sounds more like a Hollywood script than a hard fact.

Wilkins Fires Back at Claims

Not one to sit quietly, Alexis Wilkins took to social media to dismantle the story with a sharpness that cuts through the noise.

“Nice try, Ken. Let’s try something even remotely believable next time instead of some party girl trope that’s lame and verifiably false,” Wilkins quipped, dismissing the report as a tired stereotype.

Her response raises a fair point—why resort to cliched portrayals when the stakes involve real threats to her safety?

Questioning Media Credibility Today

Wilkins didn’t stop there, taking a jab at the credibility of the reporting by questioning the very foundation of the allegations.

While the original story may have grabbed headlines, it’s hard to ignore the pattern of progressive-leaning outlets crafting narratives that seem designed to discredit conservative figures like Patel without ironclad evidence.

In a world where threats against public figures’ loved ones are all too real, perhaps the focus should be on protecting those at risk rather than spinning gossip about late-night rides—let’s hope the media catches up to that priority soon.
