The married MAGA influencer who was once tapped to be President Donald Trump’s press secretary has copped to assaulting a woman in London while vacationing with her lover, marking a very public fall from grace for the jet-setting bombshell. 

Melissa Rein Lively, a political consultant and founder of the ‘anti-woke’ America First PR firm, admitted on Tuesday to yanking the woman’s hair in what cops had pegged as a racially motivated attack in a London Underground station last year. 

Now, after a highly publicized saga that saw her reputation dragged through the mud, the 40-year-old has accepted a conditional caution over the altercation, a London court heard.

In exchange for fessing up and agreeing to pay roughly $1,200 to the victim, Rein Lively – who was noticeably absent from Tuesday’s hearing – had her assault charge tossed.  

Still, she wasted no time defiantly blasting critics for transforming what she described as a ‘minor incident’ into a ‘months-long international spectacle fueled by sensationalism, misinformation and public hysteria.’

The sordid saga erupted when Rein Lively, who is separated but not yet divorced, was lapping it up with her German banker boyfriend, Philipp Ostermann, 37, in Europe last fall. 

The female victim told cops she was entering the Bond Street station with her sister and two young children when the incident unfolded on October 11 at around 7.30pm.

Rein Lively and her beau were kissing and appeared to be drunk when she allegedly stumbled into the stroller – leading the victim to push back with it, the court heard.

The woman alleged Rein Lively’s lover started hurling racial abuse at her, screaming ‘You bloody Indians, watch where you’re going, you shouldn’t be here.’

It wasn’t immediately clear what race the women were.

Rein Lively is said to have then pulled the hair of the woman’s sister and made lewd gestures at the family.

When the victim tried to defend herself, Ostermann – an associate director of a Munich-based private equity firm called Aequita – allegedly pulled out a small bottle of what he claimed to be pepper spray, cops said.

The MAGA influencer was hit with an assault charge last month after police blasted out a photo of her and her well-dressed beau in connection to the incident.

It sparked a frenzy online when Rein Lively’s identity – and colorful past – was unmasked.   

Rein Lively, who hails from Scottsdale, Arizona, made headlines back in 2020 when she filmed herself trashing a display of Covid masks in a Target as she boasted about her $40,000 Rolex watch.

At the time, she tried to pin her behavior on a mental health breakdown that she insisted was triggered by viewing QAnon conspiracy theories.

Her now-estranged husband, Jared Lively, who she married in 2011, filed for divorce in the wake of the Target incident but later withdrew the filing after the influencer sought help. 

Then, he filed for divorce again in March last year, stating that the marriage was ‘irretrievably broken’ and has ‘no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.’

Much of the blame, he argued, was due to Rein Lively’s ‘wasteful spending.’

Rein Lively, for her part, has previously bragged of showing her support for Trump with her face by adopting the ‘MAGA look’ of blonde hair, veneers and Botox. She noted, too, that she sees Trump’s daughter Ivanka and his daughter-in-law Lara as role models. 

Her Instagram snaps over the past few years show she has been lapping up a lavish life of high-end dining, designer clothing and jewelry.

Rein Lively’s social media is also inundated with loved-up photos with her boyfriend as they jet-set across the globe. 

She has largely been silent on Instagram in the wake of the latest assault saga. The influencer resurfaced on Tuesday following the latest court hearing.

The MAGA influencer’s boyfriend still has to answer to two racially aggravated public order offenses and a further public order charge over the incident

‘I am pleased that the charge in this matter has been withdrawn and the case formally resolved through an out-of-court disposition under UK law,’ Rein Lively fired off in a statement on social media. 

‘Last October, I was involved in a minor incident in Mayfair involving a woman pushing a stroller that struck me on Bond Street. Because related legal proceedings are still ongoing, I cannot comment further on the underlying facts at this time. 

‘What I can say is this: the material facts are dramatically different from what circulated in the media – and the the risk of distraction theft and robbery on London streets is real, significant, and dangerous.’

‘After traveling to more than 110 countries, few places have shown a more rapid decline in public safety than the UK in recent years. Americans traveling there should remain extremely vigilant – or consider alternative destinations altogether. London is no longer safe,’ she added. 

Her boyfriend, meanwhile, still has to answer to two racially aggravated public order offenses and a further public order charge.
