You’re not alone in raising both eyebrows at Sunday’s news that Amazon will release a Melania Trump documentary directed by Brett Ratner, the Rush Hour filmmaker who has not made a Hollywood movie since 2018, when he was accused of sexual malfeasance by several women. (He’s denied the claims.)
Of course, that this vanity documentary will air on a platform whose founder, Jeff Bezos, recently dined at Mar-A-Lago and is actively using his media properties to suck up to Melania’s husband, makes this whole thing even more ridiculous.
I know it’s 2025, nothing matters anymore, and even The Walt Disney Co. is kissing Donald Trump’s ring. But I’ve also learned that Amazon is paying a cool $40 million to license the film, per three sources familiar with the deal. That’s quite a payday for Mrs. Trump, who is serving as an executive producer.
