Melania Trump Criticizes Media's "Unhealthy Obsession" With Her After Negative Report
Former first lady Melania Trump criticized a CNN report that claimed she was spending her days at the spa and was "bitter and cold" with Donald Trump after the Capitol riots.
"Mrs. Trump is no longer the first lady. She is a private citizen, mother and wife. The sources in this article are not affiliated with her nor do they have information about her thoughts or daily life," Melania Trump's Office tweeted in response to the article.
"The choice of CNN's FLOTUS correspondent to publish false gossip illustrates the unhealthy obsession of the media," the bureau added.
The report under scrutiny from Melania Trump's Office, which was created last week, claimed that the former first lady was mostly avoiding all political talks now that she has settled at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. .
“She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa (again) and has dinner with Donald on the patio. She rinse and repeat. Every day, ”CNN reported, citing a person familiar with Trump's schedule.
Another source confirmed that the former first lady had an "affinity" for the private spa and that it was not uncommon for her to spend hours there using it at her disposal.
Last week was the impeachment of Trump, who was finally acquitted on Saturday.
CNN reports that she was "bitter and cold" with her husband following the events that took place on January 6. The report claims that Trump blamed her husband for his deteriorating image of her in the public after the riots.

"She could see how she was going to do," a former White House official told CNN as he spoke of her belated reaction to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The former first lady waited five days before commenting on the riots that took place in the United States Capitol. In her statement, she later focused on defending herself against "lewd gossip" and "unwarranted personal attacks."
Then Melania Trump left the White House, with her husband, on January 20 without speaking or meeting with Dr. Jill Biden, breaking years of tradition between the incoming and outgoing administrations. Although, she reportedly left a note with Dr. Biden.
The Trump Organization was contacted for comment.
