Alexis Wilkins Sues Conservative Influencers Over ‘Mossad Honeypot’ Claims, Targeting Elijah Schaffer, Kyle Seraphin and Sam Parker

The pending cases test whether a viral retweet can satisfy the actual‑malice bar for defamation against a public figure.

Kash Patel and Alexis Wilkins have been together for over two years.

Overview

  • Wilkins filed a $5 million suit on Oct. 28 against Elijah Schaffer over a September X post that retweeted a Mossad thread alongside a photo of her with FBI Director Kash Patel, which her complaint says implied she was an Israeli spy.
  • She has two other active $5 million defamation suits, against former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin (filed in August) and Utah political figure Sam Parker (filed Oct. 31), with jury trials demanded in all three cases.
  • Schaffer has publicly denied wrongdoing in posts and a video on X, calling the case an attack on free speech and seeking support, including an appeal to Elon Musk for legal help.
  • Wilkins has repeatedly denied being an operative and says the online claims led to harassment and doxxing, while Patel has publicly condemned the allegations as baseless.
  • The litigation remains unresolved as legal questions center on proving actual malice and whether a wordless retweet or similar posts can be treated as defamatory implications.
