Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has filed a lawsuit against MS NOW and its parent company, Versant, following a report that claimed she misused FBI resources to provide rides for friends. The lawsuit, filed on June 1, 2026, alleges that the article published on December 5, 2025, falsely portrayed Wilkins as a drinker and partier, citing anonymous sources that claimed she requested her FBI security detail to drive her inebriated friends home. Wilkins' legal team contends that the journalists knew the claims were false and that the reporting has caused her reputational harm.

The article in question stated that Patel had ordered his security detail to escort Wilkins' friends home after nights of partying, which Wilkins denies. MS NOW's president, Rebecca Kutler, stated that the organization stands by its reporting but did not comment further due to the ongoing legal matter. The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $75,000 and claims that the article was intended as a hit piece against both Wilkins and Patel.
