Pro-Trump Influencer Admits Pulling Woman’s Hair in Tube Station Assault

She accepted a conditional caution and agreed to pay £910 in compensation after prosecutors said she pulled a woman’s hair at the station.

  • On Tuesday, US influencer Melissa Rein Lively accepted a conditional caution at Westminster Magistrates' Court, agreeing to pay £910 in compensation as the assault charge was withdrawn.
  • The legal action follows an October 11, 2025, altercation at Bond Street Underground station involving two sisters, where Rein Lively allegedly stumbled into a pushchair, sparking confrontation.
  • Prosecutors told the court Rein Lively pulled one sister's hair in a 'forceful manner,' while partner Philipp Ostermann allegedly shouted, 'You bloody Indians, watch where you're going.'
  • Ostermann, a 37-year-old German national, pleaded not guilty to three public order offenses, including two racially aggravated charges, and was released on unconditional bail until November 17 trial.
  • Rein Lively, founder of the 'anti-woke' public relations agency America First, previously sought a White House spokesperson position for President Donald Trump, though the administration ultimately selected Karoline Leavitt.
