A prominent influencer associated with the MAGA movement and her boyfriend are reportedly no longer in the United Kingdom, following allegations of a racially motivated assault in London, according to police reports.

The duo, identified by the Daily Mail as Philip Ostermann and Melissa Rein Lively, is said to have left the UK before the British Transport Police issued a public appeal for information last week.

Philip Ostermann, who holds the position of associate director at Aequita, a private equity firm based in Munich, reportedly left the country on October 14. Melissa Rein Lively, aged 40, is believed to have followed suit 10 days later.

Rein Lively, a political consultant and public relations expert, had previously vied for the role of White House spokesperson during Donald Trump’s second term. However, the position was ultimately filled by Karoline Leavitt last year.

The police have stated their intention to continue efforts to contact the couple to discuss the allegations before determining the next steps in their investigation.

It comes after a family claimed they were racially abused and assaulted in central London on Saturday, October 11.

A dispute broke out at Bond Street station at 7.30pm when a pushchair bumped the woman in a photo released by a senior police officer on social media. 

A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: ‘Officers completed a number of enquiries in an attempt to identify the man and woman after the incident was reported to police, followed by a media appeal that generated a significant response.

‘From enquiries so far, we believe that the man and woman do not reside in the UK.

‘Officers believe the man left the UK on Tuesday 14th October and the woman on Friday 24th October, before our media appeal was published.

‘We continue efforts to make contact with and speak to them, and from there we will determine the next steps in the investigation.

‘We are in contact with the victim and her family and are keeping them updated regularly as the investigation continues.’

The West End is a well-known mugging hotspot where scores of crimes go unsolved, but detectives released an image of the pair in an attempt to crack an alleged assault almost a month ago. 

The row broke out as they were reportedly walking into Bond Street station, with a woman, her sister and two young children, one in a pushchair, allegedly being abused after the buggy bumped into the woman walking in front.

A man, who had been walking with the woman, then turned around and started shouting abuse at the family. 

When the victim tried to defend herself, the man pulled out a small bottle, claiming it was pepper spray, and sprayed it in the family’s direction, police said.

Ms Rein Lively has spoken publicly of showing her support for President Trump with ‘her face’ by adopting the ‘MAGA look’ of blonde hair, veneers and Botox. 

In 2020, she made headlines by filming herself trashing masks in a shop during the pandemic.

Last month, she posted a picture on Instagram of herself outside auction house Sotheby’s on Bond Street, wearing the same outfit as the woman in the BTP photo, captioned: ‘With love from London’. She has since deleted her account. 

Mr Ostermann had been listed to speak at a private equity conference at the Syon Park stately home near Heathrow on October 14. 

He was part of a panel discussion titled ‘Delivering operational resilience and drive growth through robust cash management’. 

In 2020 Ms Rein Lively hit headlines last year footage of her went viral, showing her destroying a display of face masks. 

Trolls called her ‘Rolex Karen’. 

The high-flying PR executive claimed she was ‘groomed’ by QAnon and that her ‘entire world view collapsed’ after stumbling across the online conspiracy theory group on yoga and wellness pages. 

Appearing on Finding Q, a podcast investigating the shadowy figure behind the movement by British journalist Nicky Woolf, she said that she was left suicidal after joining the group and the strain of the experience took ’20 years off her life’.

‘I know it’s really easy to look at this on the face and say “These people are idiots”, but I’m telling you this is some of the most well produced, well written things that were very plausible, and I realise there is a huge industry for conspiracy theories.’ 

‘I absolutely call it a cult in every single way,’ she said. ‘It destroyed me completely, collapsed my world view and landed me in a psychiatric evaluation facility. 

‘For me, being a successful person in my life, I never thought I would be in a situation like that and it was rock bottom.’
