Just days after the internet crowned Christian Pulisic as the unofficial “King of Dating Apps While Taken,” his ex, Alexa Melton, has stepped back into the chat to say, “Relax, that’s not what I meant.”
Yes, the same situation that had everyone clutching their phones and screaming “caught in 4K” has now taken a sharp U-turn. According to Alexa, her earlier comments were taken out of context. Meaning, the internet may have run a full marathon with a story that was barely a jog.
She clarified that Pulisic is not a cheater, which is interesting, because the internet had already built a whole courtroom in the comments section. Verdict delivered, case closed, no appeal allowed.
Alexa Melton, who went public with the 27-year-old footballer in 2024, attempted to walk back comments she made earlier this week, where she accused Pulisic of having a wandering eye.
“l’ve made some comments on a private matter and it’s been taken out of context,” Melton wrote on her Instagram story.
“I received false info. He is not a cheater. Any narrative beyond that is not mine.
Out of respect for Christian’s and my privacy, I will not speak further regarding this matter.”It’s a total about-face for CP’s ex … considering just days earlier she threatened to release screenshots of his Raya dating profile.
It started when a fan commented on Alexa’s photos, writing “This generational fumble will be studied for years to come🔥,” prompting her to respond, “how many likes to post his raya profile.”
In a follow-up tweet, which has since been deleted, Melton added … “before it even ended.”
Something clearly changed between then and now … and Alexa’s coming to Christian’s defense.
Alexa is now doing damage control, trying to clean up a situation that already went viral. Not an easy job, the internet moves fast, but it rarely rewinds.
In the end, this whole saga is a reminder of one simple rule: context matters a lot, but also, maybe don’t drop half-statements if you’re not ready for the internet to turn it into a full movie.
