Kash Patel's girlfriend sues podcaster for claiming she's Israeli spy who lured FBI chief in 'honeypot' operation

Country singer Alexis Wilkins has slapped former FBI agent–turned-podcaster Kyle Seraphin with a $5 million defamation lawsuit, accusing him of maliciously branding her an Israeli spy sent to seduce and compromise her boyfriend, FBI Director Kash Patel, in a “honeypot” operation.
Wilkins, a Tennessee-based recording artist who also works with PragerU, filed the federal case in Texas this week after Seraphin told his sizable online audience that she was a “honeypot” and “former Mossad agent” working to manipulate Patel.
The 29-year-old singer, who has proudly billed herself as a patriotic, conservative Christian, says Seraphin’s wild claims are a knowing lie meant to boost his podcast clicks and pad his income from YouTube, Rumble and X.
“Defendant entirely fabricated the story to generate video engagement revenue,” the lawsuit charges, blasting Seraphin for smearing her as a traitor in front of hundreds of thousands of followers.
Seraphin, once a counterterrorism agent in the FBI’s Washington field office, now makes a living as a self-styled whistleblower with more than 217,000 followers on X.
On his Aug. 22 broadcast, he suggested Patel was being duped by a much younger girlfriend who was secretly an Israeli intelligence officer.
“He’s got a girlfriend that is half his age … and she’s also a former Mossad agent in what is like the equivalent of their NSA,” Seraphin declared, before sneering that Patel’s relationship was “totally just like love. That’s what real love looks like.”
Though he did not mention Wilkins by name, the suit says the reference was obvious.
