‘Melania’ Director Brett Ratner Pictured on Couch with Jeffrey Epstein and Women

Brett Ratner makes an appearance in the latest dump of the infamous Epstein Files… sitting next to Jeffrey Epstein and two redacted women in newly released photos.

The director – who led the new documentary “Melania” about the First Lady Melania Trump — wears a white shirt in the photo and leans close to a woman sitting next to him.

Her arms are wrapped around the young woman’s waist from behind… and she leans towards Epstein, who has another woman on his right.

There’s not much context for these photos… we don’t know when they were taken or who the two redacted women are, and Ratner is not accused of wrongdoing in the files regarding these women – but their release comes at the end of a busy week for Ratner.

ICYMI…film production sources said rolling stone about the “chaos” surrounding the making of “Melania” – many specifically referencing Ratner’s behavior.

The film itself becomes strangely mixed reviews …with absolutely devastating reviews for the film – as audiences applauded it for its patriotism.

“Melania” is Ratner’s first major production since several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against him in 2017.

Donald Trump also featured prominently in the Epstein documents released this weekend…at one point being accused of forcing a minor girl to give him oral sex. The White House told us that some of the claims in the files — like this one — were sensationalist fictions made up about the president.

We’ve reached out to Ratner for comment on the photos…so far, no response.
