Brett Ratner has been linked to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, ahead of the release of his new documentary Melania, which features the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump.

The director could be spotted in one of the images from one of latest drops of information made by the Department of Justice.

In the picture, he was smiling and hugging the late French model agent and Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel, who was shirtless, in a dimly lit room.

The snap did not contain any context into Brett’s relationship with the late model scout, who committed suicide in jail in 2022 while facing charges of raping a minor and also being one of the people that supplied the convicted child sex offender with minors.

Meanwhile the Red Dragon director has also been accused of sexual assault by different women, such as Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.

On the other hand, Melania and her husband, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, have also been spotted in some pictures with Epstein.

Notably, since there is not much context provided into the images and the p J. Epstein & Company founder had a massive social circle, the pictures are not necessarily proof of nefarious involvement of the individuals pictured.

What happened to Brett Ratner?

Brett’s film projects were scrapped after he the allegations of misconduct came out against him.
