Following her arrest Friday after she would not stop punching family members, Hope Solo has apologized. Kind of.

She posted this statement to her Facebook Thursday:

“I would like to apologize to my fans, teammates, coaches, marketing partners and the entire US Soccer and Seattle Reign FC communities for my involvement in a highly unfortunate incident this past weekend.”

However, she made no mention of her sister or nephew, the ones who called the police on her and the reason she was held on two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence. Solo continued by saying she understands her platform as a role model and apologized to those she disappointed. (RELATED: Hope Solo Beats The Crap Out Of Her Family Members, Is Arrested)

Solo pleaded not guilty and said she is confident her name will be cleared. When she was released from jail, Solo was told not to drink alcohol or contact those family members.
