Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has publicly denied allegations made by The New York Times that she was seen holding another man's hand during the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) amid a chaotic security situation. In a statement, Wilkins called the report 'sick' and emphasized that she was only with Patel during the incident, which involved a perceived active shooting. She criticized the media for what she described as a damaging narrative and insisted that she was not in a different holding room or holding anyone else's hand. The New York Times initially reported that Wilkins was hiding in a room with another man, but later amended its report to state that she was holding hands with someone who appeared to be part of a security detail. Despite the correction, Wilkins expressed her discontent with the coverage, asserting that it was inappropriate to use the situation as a political tool.
