Christian Pulisic’s Ex Just Ate Her Words on Cheating Claims

So much for that explosive accusation. Alexa Melton, Christian Pulisic’s ex-girlfriend, is completely walking back her cheating allegations against the U.S. soccer star — and she’s admitting she was dead wrong.

Just days after going public with claims that the 27-year-old soccer phenom joined a dating app while they were still together, Melton did a total 180. She’s now saying she jumped the gun and her accusations were baseless. Yeah, she basically torpedoed her own story.

The whole thing exploded on social media when she first posted about it, with fans immediately taking sides and the internet doing what it does best — spiraling. But Melton apparently had some time to reflect and realized her receipts weren’t as solid as she thought.

No word yet on whether Pulisic is planning to respond, but honestly? He probably doesn’t need to. His ex just handed him the ultimate vindication by admitting she was wrong. That’s the kind of L you don’t come back from in the court of public opinion.
