Melina hits back at fake news

Despite a small reply on Twitter, Melina posted a lengthy answer to the rumor on Facebook.

This makes my heart ache because I love my fans so much. I want you to realize that these sites that claim they know what’s happening don’t. How many times have they falsely reported things about me and said I am returning? You can’t believe them because they do not report real or correct news. They often twist things up to get clicks.”
