Hollywood director Brett Ratner, known for blockbusters like Rush Hour and X-Men: The Last Stand, recently addressed a photo that surfaced in the latest U.S. Department of Justice release of Jeffrey Epstein documents (Epstein files show Putin’s Russian spy links). The photo shows Ratner with Epstein and two women whose identities were redacted.
Ratner appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to respond. Morgan asked him directly about the photo and the wider Epstein scandal (Putin in Epstein files as bombshell revelation). Ratner explained that the picture was taken roughly 20 years ago at an event his then-fiancée invited him to. He insisted he had no personal relationship with Epstein either before or after that event (Jeffrey Epstein’s brutal 7-word verdict).
When pressed about the identity of the woman in the photo, Ratner said he could not share her name out of respect for her privacy, but confirmed she was his fiancée at the time. He emphasized multiple times that he never met Epstein outside of that single event (Melania film director admits “I don’t remember meeting Epstein”).
This explanation is consistent with his previous statements to Fox News Digital, where he said the photo captured a moment with his fiancée at a public event, and he did not remember knowing Epstein personally (Russia mocks Trump over latest Epstein revelations).
Ratner’s personal life has included relationships with tennis star Serena Williams (2004–2006) and actress Rebecca Gayheart (from their teenage years) (Melania reveals her fears after Donald Trump’s decisions).
The DOJ’s release came as part of millions of documents related to Epstein, who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex-trafficking charges (Epstein files show Putin’s Russian spy links). Meanwhile, Ratner’s latest project, the documentary Melania, premiered on January 30 (5 key takeaways from Melania Trump’s new documentary) and follows the first lady in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration (I watched Melania Trump’s documentary – here’s what I think).
