The images of Ratner with Epstein and unidentified women were released the same day as his documentary about the US first lady.

The director of the new documentary on US First Lady Melania Trump has appeared embracing a young woman in images released by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

Brett Ratner, who also directed the Rush Hour films and X-Men: The Last Stand, can be seen sitting on a sofa beside the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and two women whose identities have been obscured.

When the images were taken remains unclear, though they appear to have been taken in the same location as photos of Ratner and Epstein alongside the late French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel that were released in December.

    Fun how they just tack on the name Brunel without the added context of who he was.

    Brunel was Epstein’s business partner. They owned MC2 modeling together. Epstein was the hidden partner, thus E=MC2. That right there is just another reason to hate these people.

    Anyway, Brunel was the sort of guy who always had some date rape drugs on hand, and used them constantly.

    As a note, Trump owned Trump Model Management, and hosted his own underage sex parties with random celebrities invited. But none of these parties had music.

    There’s a clip of Luther Campbell talking about how he noped the fuck out of a Trump party at Mar a Lago because he thought the girls were too young.

    For those who don’t know Luther Campbell is also known as Uncle Luke, in a song titled “Me So Horny” he claimed to be a dog in heat and a freak without a leash.

    He is cuddling Melanie in that picture. Narrow head, pin straight hair and wearing the exact same outfit that Melanie is wearing in other photos from there. It’s her.

    I liked Rush Hour as a kid. At this point the only things I loved that aren’t produced by pedophiles are the things I turned to in teen rebellion…

      There weren’t really a whole lot of great comedies post-Holocaust.

      It took a long while for Broadway to recover from AIDS.

      I guess certain types of art attracts certain types of artists.

      I’m actually pretty vindicated.

      It’s nice to see the pop-culture drivel that most people went gaga over turn out to be made by pedophile scumbags.

    Starting to wonder if people are doing pedophilia just for the kickbacks at this point? Does the Trump family ever even accidentally do something not completely dispicable?

      Do you know who was literally Epstein’s neighbor, and in the book?

      Bill Cosby. And now we see Andrew, and this guy, and it’s just like…how many famous sleazeballs can you hang around before people stop believing that you, too, are not a famous sleazeball.

      Like, alright, we all got like one or two friends that are total dicks, and we recognize that. We don’t hang out with them intentionally but we’re civil when they are part of the group.

      But If the majority of your friends are total dicks…it’s highly unlikely that you aren’t a dick, too.

      It’s true for pedophiles, too, I think.
