'Melania' director Brett Ratner's Epstein photos spark new controversy
Brett Ratner, the director behind the hit documentary Melania, is facing scrutiny after newly released government files show him with Jeffrey Epstein—despite Ratner's statement that the photos are from over 20 years ago and that he did not know Epstein and does not recall having any subsequent contact with him.
The photos, apparently taken about a decade ago, have put his timeline into question just as his film continues to do well at the box office.
Email from 2012 mentions Ratner, adding to the drama
The controversy deepened when a 2012 email surfaced mentioning Ratner.
Plus, an unidentified woman in the photos doesn't match either of Ratner's known fiancees, adding to doubts about his story.
With these revelations making headlines, people are questioning how much Ratner really knew—and when.
