Alexis Wilkins Shuts Down ‘Honey Trap’ Conspiracy Theories About FBI Director Kash Patel

Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, is forcefully pushing back against bizarre online conspiracy theories claiming she is an Israeli intelligence operative sent to entrap him — allegations she calls outright “character assassination.”

Wilkins, 27, a conservative commentator and country singer, has become the target of escalating online attacks alleging she is part of a Mossad “honey trap” operation. The rumors have circulated widely in fringe right-wing spaces, despite zero evidence, prompting Wilkins to take legal action. She has already sued three influencers for spreading the claims.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Wilkins addressed the accusations head-on — and with visible disbelief.

“I’ve never been to Israel,” she said, rolling her eyes. “There’s not a stamp in my passport.”

She described the conspiracy theories as surreal, saying they spiraled far beyond anything she expected once they gained traction online. According to Wilkins, one version of the rumor bizarrely suggested she was surgically altered to impersonate another woman.

“That was a theory that was more widespread than I was comfortable with it being,” she said. “Because that’s insane. How are this many people thinking this is true?”

Wilkins speculated that the rumors may have stemmed from her previous association with PragerU, whose CEO, Marissa Streit, has publicly stated she served in Israeli military intelligence. From there, she says, internet speculation morphed into something far more extreme.

While Vanity Fair pressed Wilkins on whether she bears any responsibility for today’s misinformation culture — noting her past promotion of President Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election and other controversial narratives — Wilkins rejected the idea that her current ordeal is a direct consequence.

“I don’t think it’s a straight line back to Trump,” she said. “People have so much information now, they can look up anything. That doesn’t mean they understand it.”

This isn’t the first time Wilkins has denied the allegations publicly. During a July appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, she laughed off the claims, calling them “a firm no,” but said what troubled her most was the implication that she was manipulating the man she loves.

“That’s a horrible accusation,” she said at the time.

Wilkins and Patel previously appeared together on a MAGA-focused podcast discussing their relationship — an episode that drew criticism due to its timing amid an active FBI manhunt. Critics seized on the appearance as further evidence that Patel is distracted or unprepared for the role, a narrative amplified by figures like Laura Loomer.

In the Vanity Fair interview, Wilkins also spoke about the darker side of dating the FBI director, including receiving death threats. One individual, she said, was arrested after threatening to execute her.

“It’s scary,” she admitted. “There’s no point where you get used to that.”

She believes many of the attacks are less about her and more about targeting Patel through her.

“I think it’s sad that people have figured out they can try to use me to get to him,” she said.

Now living with a security detail — a necessity determined by federal agents, not the couple themselves — Wilkins described the experience as deeply unnatural.

“I’m not doing a job that warrants it,” she said. “But here we are.”

Despite the noise, Wilkins maintains she has little to hide.

“I don’t have a lot of skeletons in my closet,” she said. “I’m not someone who hopes something doesn’t come out.”

As conspiracy culture continues to bleed into mainstream political discourse, Wilkins’ experience highlights how quickly misinformation can turn personal — and how difficult it is to shut down once it takes hold.
