Piers Morgan Confronts ‘Melania’ Director Brett Ratner on Photo With Epstein

Piers Morgan questioned Melania director Brett Ratner on a newly-released picture of the moviemaker cozily sitting next to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein and two blond women during a new episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday.

Ratner joined the show to talk about his new documentary on First Lady Melania Trump. Morgan saved his question about Epstein for the end of the segment.

“As you know, the picture came out of you with Jeffrey Epstein with two apparently young women in it. What is your response to that picture?” Morgan asked. “And what is your response to the wider scandal of the Epstein files?”

“Oh, well that picture in particular happened around 20 years ago,” Ratner told him. “Because that is a photograph of my fiancée, who invited me to this event, and that’s where the picture was taken.”

Ratner continued, “I have never been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein before that photo and I was never in contact with him after.”

He explained a moment later it was his fiancée at the time and that he was not still with the woman.

While a cross-armed Ratner spoke, the picture of the Rush Hour director and Epstein was featured on the screen. It showed Ratner leaning in and wrapping his arms around a woman while they both sat next to Epstein; another woman in the photo has her arm on Epstein’s chest. Both women have their faces blocked out in the images released by the Justice Department last week.

“Wow,” Morgan said after hearing Ratner’s explanation. He then asked Ratner to spill the name of his then-fiancée.

Ratner said the woman did not want him sharing that information, but he said he was “100 percent” certain that was her.

The director’s new movie on Melania Trump comes after he was exiled from Hollywood following multiple accusations of sexual misconduct in 2018. His interview with Morgan follows the Trump administration’s release of the latest batch of files on Epstein last week.
