Alexis Wilkins made headlines recently when she opened up in a Fox News interview about her claim that music execs told her to remove the American Flag from her social media.

“I 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,” Wilkins told Fox News Digital. “There are things that you ultimately have to give up, and I wasn’t willing to bend the knee to that.”

Yeah, that’s enough. They were made for each other.

How about:

I 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,” Wilkins told Fox News Digital. “There are things that you ultimately have to give up, and I wasn’t willing to bend the knee to that."

Really? She certainly doesn't need a PR department.

4. The American flag story...

... makes no sense. Even more suspicious is that a "country music singer" is asked to take a US flag off their Instagram page. I could see music executives telling clients that a Russian flag might not be helpful... but an American flag... for a COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER? I think most "country music" singers would be advised to ADD a US flag to their profiles! Something is dishonest.

so, of course she's making things up.

But, as someone else said, she's kind of long in the tooth for that crowd.

She was guilty of being a foreign agent who didn't register with the United States government. Her plea deal sent her back to Russia.

She states there are things she isn't willing to bend a knee for, being a grifter and a Republican aren't on the list.

she has also filed a $5 million defamation case against podcaster

Learn something new every day. (And why isn't he? Any respectable Indian or Indian-American man of his age is married with several children already!)

taken 10 years earlier on July 21, 2015, when she was just 16? Had to Google her to see a current photo. Brian Linder, author of the article couldn't find a more recent photo?
