Lawsuits
In November 2025, Wilkins filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah against Samuel Parker, a former banker and social media influencer, who had run in the 2018 Utah Senate Republican primary. Wilkins alleged that he had falsely claimed she was an Israeli spy.[15][16] In August 2026, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah ruled in Parker's favor, finding the case had not been filed in the proper jurisdiction; the ruling did not address whether Parker's statements were defamatory.[17][18] As the motion to dismiss makes clear, the jurisdictional issue was that Wilkins lives in Tennessee and Parker lives in Washington state, i.e. no party to the case has any connection to the state the case was filed in.[19]
