Brett Ratner appeared arm in arm with Jeffrey Epstein in new photos released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday (30). The controversy comes at the time of the premiere of the release “Melania”.
This is Ratner’s first work since he was accused of sexual harassment and misconduct in 2017 at the height of the MeToo movement.
Internet users pointed out that the location where Brett Ratner appears resembles the same place where he was seen alongside Jean-Luc Brunel in photos released in December 2025.
Brunel was a French fashion agent and recruiter of young models who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
In the most recent images, Brett Ratner appears alongside Epstein next to two women whose identities were not disclosed. The two appear in an extensive collection of photos with other unidentified girls.
The DOJ released a series of files on the last Friday of January, including photos and emails, showing Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement with several celebrities and politicians from the U.S. and around the world.
In addition to director Brett Ratner, the documents mentioned individuals such as billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Gates, British politician Lord Peter Mandelson, and British Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
More sick Trump ties!
In this image that was released yesterday, you have Jeffrey Epstein, two girls, and Brett Ratner on the right.
He’s the director of the new MELANIA movie that is flopping at the box office.
Why does Trump seem to be tied to all of the men in the Epstein… pic.twitter.com/M3oI3eL8Rt
