‘Melania’ director Brett Ratner has recently broken his silence after Piers Morgan inquired him about the Jeffrey Epstein photograph.

The Rush Hour director reportedly appeared with Epstein and two women in a photo, which was released by the Justice Department in latest Epstein file.

When asked about his response to the picture, Ratner said that this particular photo was clicked around 20 years ago.

“That is a photograph of my fiancée, who invited me to this event and that’s where the picture was taken,” recalled the 56-year-old director during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored on February 2.

Ratner claimed that he “had never been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein before that photo and I was never in contact with him after”.

Morgan probed further to reveal the identity of the director’s ex-fiancée, whose face was censored, as well as another woman featured in the photograph.

Later on the show, Ratner also shared his honest views on Epstein file scandal and influential names being dragged in this entire scenario.

“It’s horrible. You see, I’ve been somehow sucked in, you know, through an image,” stated the Red Dragon director.

Ratner continued, “There’s so many stories about so many different people. It’s hard to really follow and track what’s truth and what’s not truth.”

“You could see where one photograph kind of puts me, you know, there with him and then all the stories start to spin out,” he pointed out.

However, Ratner reiterated that he didn’t know Epstein at all, adding, “It wasn’t really my world.”

Meanwhile, Ratner made his career comeback with his new documentary about First Lady Melania Trump.

For those unversed, the director was accused of sexual misconduct by six women in 2017, though he denied  all the allegations against him.
