Country singer and political commentator Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has issued a defiant response to a wave of online trolling that has branded her with a controversial two-word nickname: "honey pot."
The term—a reference to an espionage tactic where a lure is used to compromise a target—began trending after Wilkins shared a New Year’s photo with Patel earlier this month.
The "Honey Pot" Backlash The nickname gained traction on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram as users speculated, without evidence, about the nature of her relationship with Patel.
The New Year's Post: The controversy intensified following a photo of the couple celebrating the start of 2026. Commenters flooded the post with Winnie the Pooh GIFs and references to "assignments" and "spy" roles.
The Espionage Narrative: The "honey pot" label is an extension of long-standing, baseless conspiracy theories claiming Wilkins is an operative for foreign intelligence agencies (such as Mossad) tasked with manipulating the FBI Director.
Wilkins' "Give 'Em All Hell" Response On Sunday, January 18, 2026, Wilkins appeared to "fire back" at the critics via her Instagram Stories.
The Meme: She shared an image of a skeletonized cowboy riding through a desert.
The Message: The image was overlaid with the text: "For The Sake of Heaven. You Oughta Give Em All Hell." * The Soundtrack: She set the post to the song "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers, a choice widely interpreted by followers as a signal that she remains unbothered and defiant in the face of the "internet anarchists."
Broader Context of Lawsuits This is not the first time Wilkins has faced such allegations. She has taken a hardline legal stance against those spreading these claims:
Defamation Suits: Wilkins has filed multi-million dollar defamation lawsuits against several high-profile figures, including former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, conservative influencer Elijah Schaffer, and former Senate candidate Sam Parker, for alleging she is a "foreign agent."
Patel’s Defense: Kash Patel has publicly defended Wilkins, calling the attacks "disgustingly baseless" and "cowardly." He has praised her as a "true patriot" and warned that such trolling jeopardizes their personal safety.
