Alexis Wilkins, girlfriend of Kash Patel, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), sued the television station MS NOW under the argument of allegedly using “fictitious” anonymous sources to “spread false accusations” about an alleged abuse of the agency’s resources to benefit it.
Before a federal court in Nashville, Tennesseethe 27-year-old singer filed an official complaint against the channel operated by NBCUniversal and its reporters Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig.
Kurt Beasley, Jason C. Greaves and Jared R. Roberts, lawyers for the Boston interpreter, stated in their lawsuit that the media outlet and the cited employees presented their client as a drunk person knowing that she is teetotal.
“They falsely claimed that Ms. Wilkins demanded, and Director Patel ordered, that federal agents assigned to her security team—which did not even exist at the time—escort an intoxicated friend home after a ‘night out.’
This false description is extremely offensive to Ms. Wilkins, and would be to any reasonable person in her situation. Ms. Wilkins’ professional identity is that of a responsible and sober young woman who does not participate in the culture of excessive alcohol consumption or the party atmosphere typical of musicians,” details part of the document presented.
Legal experts further note that the country music star “suffered humiliation and actual harm to his professional identity, reputation, and standing in the community.”
By way of reparation, Alexis Wilkins requests a jury trial, as well as damages in excess of $75,000.
It should be noted that part of the singer’s legal team also represents Kash Patel in her lawsuit filed against the magazine Atlantic by an article published in April which mentions the excessive consumption of alcohol that the head of the FBI has incurred to the point of becoming untraceable after a few nights of drinking.
On the other hand, the real estate official pointed out in an interview with the network Fox Records data that had filed a lawsuit against the news outlet, demanding $250 million in damages caused to its reputation.
