Due to the unacceptable behavior, the cops accused the USWNT star of trespassing and asked her to leave. On the same day, a deputy told CNN, “I observed a white female, who was later identified as Alexandria Morgan yelling, screaming and taken (sic) video and possibly pictures. She appeared to be highly impaired”. They also ignored repeated warnings. Alex Morgan was among the few names including Giles Barnes who were asked to leave the premises.

However, no charges were filed. Orlando Pride also confirmed later that this was not registered as a criminal incident. The embarrassed USWNT legend apologized on Twitter for her actions. She wrote, “I want to apologize for my actions that occurred over the weekend. I will learn from this make sure it does not happen again. #liveandlearn”.
