Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Files $5 Million Defamation Suit Against Ex-FBI Podcaster Over ‘Honeypot’ Claim

The filing argues Kyle Seraphin’s Aug. 22 podcast presented as fact a false claim that she was an Israeli operative.

Overview

  • Alexis Wilkins sued Kyle M. Seraphin in federal court in Austin, alleging he defamed her by saying she was a Mossad-linked "honeypot" targeting FBI Director Kash Patel.
  • The complaint cites Seraphin’s Aug. 22 episode referencing a "honeypot" and a "former Mossad agent"; he did not use her name, but the suit says the remarks unmistakably referred to her.
  • Wilkins’ filing says she is American-born, not Israeli or Jewish, has never been to Israel, and contends Seraphin traded on his former FBI credentials to give the assertions credibility.
  • The suit seeks at least $5 million and claims Seraphin acted with actual malice, noting he had previously met Wilkins and Patel, which it argues undercuts any claim of ignorance.
  • Seraphin has told his audience he never directly accused Wilkins and pointed to similar online rumors drawing more attention, while the case proceeds with heightened media scrutiny.
