Director of Melania Trump's film photographed alongside Jeffrey Epstein in shocking release
Melania Trump's documentary director has been pictured with Jeffrey Epstein in shocking newly released photos.
The latest batch of Epstein files continues to deliver jaw-dropping revelations, with even more high-profile figures being connected to the disgraced financier.
Although the convicted child sex offender was found dead in his cell back in 2019, public fascination with the case has led to further questions about who else might have been involved.
Several prominent names have already appeared in documents tied to his federal conviction, including President Donald Trump and Prince Andrew.

The POTUS previously suggested that he would support the release of investigation files. However, complaints spiralled when heavily redacted documents were finally released at the end of 2025.
Meanwhile, President Trump has continuously denied any wrongdoing, as have spokespeople for figures such as former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft's Bill Gates, amid claims that the latter contracted an STD from 'Russian girls'.
His ex-wife, Melinda Gates, has since shared a 'heartbreaking' response to the allegations following a recently released email to the Gates Foundation.
Other tech moguls have also shared their connections to Epstein, including biohacker Bryan Johnson, who spoke out after his email exchanges surfaced. Johnson admitted that he only met Epstein for a brief 10-minute Zoom call and described him as a 'very dark person.'
But the internet hasn't stopped spiralling down its own rabbit hole of conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
According to a recent Reddit post, some social media users claim they've identified the director of Melania Trump's documentary in newly unearthed photos alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
The repost features images of Brett Ratner appearing rather cosy with a younger Melania next to Epstein, believed to date back nearly 30 years.
The screenshot reads: "Using this pic to estimate about 1998, then searching Melania in 1998, you end up finding both that hair, down to the same highlights, and the bracelet."
Titled Melania, Amazon’s $75 documentary exceeded box office expectations by pulling in over $7 million (£5.1 million) during its opening weekend in US cinemas, as per the BBC.
Following the story of the US First Lady, the film reportedly became the most expensive documentary in history when Amazon spent $40 million on distribution rights and a further $35 million on promotions, the BBC noted.
Donald Trump insisted to reporters that he 'wasn’t involved' in the negotiations over the documentary's eye-watering budget. Meanwhile, Melania revealed that producers pitched the project to multiple streaming platforms before deciding on Amazon because 'they agreed to do theatres all around the world.'
