A story published within the last week at the Inquisitr had attributed to unfounded rumors and innuendo regarding model Melania Trump, wife of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, and her life prior to her marriage.

While Inquisitr writers did not generate said rumors, which alleged Melania Trump previously earned money as an escort, the writer in question was not diligent in fact-checking or maintaining a healthy distance between innuendo and fact.

As such, the Inquisitr’s management and editorial staff would like to officially retract this story in full and apologize to Mrs. Trump for any duress she may have endured as a result of these reports.
