MAGA PR guru Melissa Rein Lively, banker pal wanted for questioning in UK over alleged ‘racist’ assault in London

A MAGA influencer who heads an “anti-woke PR firm” is wanted for questioning by police in the UK after she was identified in video from an alleged racist assault on a family in London, according to reports from UK media.

Melissa Rein Lively, 40, and her partner Philipp Ostermann are being sought by British authorities following a run-in with a child in a stroller and her kin at a Tube station, according to British newspapers, including The Times.

Lively is an Arizona-based PR boss who previously publicly said she wanted to be President Trump’s White House press secretary.

She also was the subject of a profile about “Mar-a-Lago face,” in a recent interview with French outlet AFP.

“The victim was entering Bond Street Underground station with her sister and two young children, one of whom was in a [stroller]. A man and women were walking together in front of them when the woman collided with the [stroller],” the British Transport Police said in a statement released on Monday.

“The man then began shouting racial abuse at the victim and her family, before the woman grabbed her hair. When the victim tried to defend herself the man pulled out a small bottle and said it was pepper spray before spraying it in the direction of the victim and her family,” the statement continued.

“The woman shouted abuse and made lewd gestures at them before both parties left the area,” the statement went on.

The statement featured an image of a man and a woman, identified by multiple news outlets as Ostermann and Lively.

None of the alleged victims suffered any injuries in the incident, according to police.

Pepper spray is illegal in the UK, and it can carry a minimum six-month prison sentence.
