Overview
- The federal defamation suit alleges Sam Parker fabricated claims that the country singer is an Israeli agent assigned to compromise FBI Director Kash Patel.
- Wilkins’ filing describes her as a Christian, American-born U.S. citizen unaffiliated with any intelligence service and says she has never been to Israel.
- The complaint says Parker used the story as fundraising clickbait and amplified it to more than 1.3 million viewers through his BasedSamParker account on X.
- Wilkins is seeking $5 million in damages and a jury trial, and she has filed similar actions against Kyle Seraphin in Texas and Elijah Schaffer in Florida.
- Patel posted a public defense of Wilkins on X as separate reporting on his travel by FBI jet has fueled broader attention on their relationship.
