Alexis Wilkins is back in the headlines after MS Now reported Monday that the country music singer and girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel has an FBI security detail assigned to her. <\/p>\n
The outlet reported<\/b><\/a> that Wilkins, who lives and works out of Nashville like a lot of country music artists, has a detail that consists of elite agents who are normally assigned to the SWAT team at the FBI\u2019s Nashville office. <\/p>\n \u201cMs. Wilkins is receiving a protective detail because she has faced hundreds of credible death threats related to her relationship with Director Patel, whom she has been dating for three years,\u201d an FBI spokesperson told The Hill<\/b><\/a>. \u201cOut of respect for her safety, we will not be providing additional details.\u201d <\/p>\n The outlet reported that it is \u201cunusual\u201d for the SWAT members to be used for security details, and that other spouses of directors who received details were living with the director. Patel and Wilkins do not live together and do not live in the same city, and the use of the elite agents created a stir on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no legitimate justification for this,\u201d former senior FBI agent Christopher O\u2019Leary told MS Now. \u201cShe is not his spouse, does not live in the same house or even the same city.<\/p>\n \u201cI would also add that this comes at a time when security details were stripped from people who are under threat from (Iran).\u201d<\/p>\n Wilkins, 26, recently made headlines when she revealed that music executives told her to remove the American Flag from her social media. <\/p>\n \u201cI was told to take an American Flag out of my Instagram bio, or that I had to support certain things or do certain things in order to get booked on tours, in order to get signed to a label,\u201d Wilkins told Fox News Digital. \u201cThere are things that you ultimately have to give up, and I wasn\u2019t willing to bend the knee to that.\u201d<\/p>\n Wilkins claimed she was also told to be careful about which veteran organizations she supported because she could be seen as \u201cpartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe industry and some figureheads in the industry were just saying that me having an American Flag in my bio was going to be seen as partisan,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was things that were fundamentally American and things that I wasn\u2019t willing to compromise on.\u201d<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
