Conservative journalist and Rift TV CEO Elijah Schaffer fled his home in the dead of night, family in tow, after a vicious doxing campaign erupted in the wake of a $5 million defamation lawsuit filed by Alexis Wilkins, the country music singer dating FBI Director Kash Patel.
Maps to his house, entry instructions, and threats against his defenseless Australian wife and two toddlers—ages 1 and 2½—forced the evacuation to an undisclosed location on Thursday, all because Schaffer posted a photograph of Wilkins and Patel.

Wilkins filed the federal lawsuit on Oct. 28, 2025, accusing Schaffer of defamation, slander, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Court documents claim Schaffer made "malicious, insidious claims" that Wilkins was "manipulating a government official," lied to "hurt and defame her," and operated solely to "cause outrage and chaos" while undermining government credibility.
Wilkins seeks $5 million in damages for alleged harm to her career and reputation.
Schaffer denies every allegation, maintaining that posting a photograph of Wilkins does not constitute defamation, nor does questioning the romantic partner of the nation’s top law enforcement official.
Following his legal team’s urgent advice to vacate his home immediately due to the doxing threats, Schaffer addressed Wilkins directly in a video statement.
"Alexis, we live in a polarizing world. Did you see what happened to Charlie Kirk when they called him a Nazi? They said, 'Oh, it’s just words. It doesn’t really matter.' But he was murdered, stopped like a dog. Did you see what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania with Donald Trump, after saying that he was a dictator and that he was Hitler? They tried to murder him. Thank God, he’s still alive. ... We’ve seen people demonize and dehumanize [Nick Fuentes], putting his address online nearly got him murdered."

The FBI Director Kash Patel's proxy lawsuit was meant to intimidate me & silence my online voice
It contains MALICIOUS lies to dehumanize me

He continued: "When you make a lawsuit, Alexis, that is lying to the public with defamatory and slanderous language, making claims that I said things I did not, and then dedicating the lawsuit to calling me an anti-semite and then selectively taking posts to make me seem like I am a hateful and bad person, you have to realize being in a position you're in of authority and influence in the world, when you attack a private citizen like myself ... people who, for instance...may not be thinking well, will see that information, and they’ll see me as exactly as you painted me. ... Your lawsuit has caused my family to be unsafe and threats against my family, my wife and my children."

Schaffer reported bot accounts flooding posts about the lawsuit with doxing material, including home layouts and access points.
Twitter removed most posts after reports, but the damage forced immediate relocation.
Legal fees already run into tens of thousands, with six figures projected, and now forced to flee his home, Schaffer and his family must shoulder exorbitant moving costs, while his employees fear for their jobs.
He urged Wilkins to act.
"Alexis Wilkins, please understand ... consequences are going to come from someone of your stature and authority speaking so boldly to defame and to slander ... someone like myself who’s just trying to make a living. ... If you don’t support this, extend a public condemnation."
Schaffer framed the suit as potential proxy intimidation by the FBI, noting Patel’s public acknowledgment of related tweets and prior use of government resources in the relationship.
He vowed to fight.
"We will not be intimidated. Alexis Wilkins, we will not be intimidated. Kash Patel ... this has crossed a line too far."
After the Biden regime’s unprecedented January 6 dragnet—jailing hundreds of Americans for protesting, praying, and thought crimes—comes this: the FBI director’s girlfriend weaponizing federal courts over a single photograph.
Americans see the pattern and have had enough.
Election fraud? Completely fine.

Kash Patel has done more to punish critics of his girlfriend than those who r*ped children with Epstein or kiIIed Charlie Kirk.
