‘Melania’ Director Brett Ratner Pictured on Couch with Jeffrey Epstein & Women

Brett Ratner makes an appearance in the latest dump of the infamous Epstein Files … sitting next to Jeffrey Epstein and two redacted women in newly released photos.

The director — who helmed the new documentary “Melania” about First Lady Melania Trump — wears a white shirt in the photo and leans in close to a woman sitting next to him.

His arms are wrapped around the youthful woman’s waist from behind … and she’s leaning into Epstein, who has another woman to his right.

There isn’t much context for these photos … we don’t know when they were taken or who the two redacted women are, and Ratner isn’t being accused of any wrongdoing in the files regarding these women — but their release comes at the end of a fraught week for Ratner.

ICYMI … film production sources told Rolling Stone about the “chaos” surrounding the making of “Melania” — with many specifically referring to Ratner’s behavior.

The movie itself is getting strangely mixed reviews … with critics absolutely savaging the film — while audiences are applauding it for its patriotism.

“Melania” is Ratner’s first big production since several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against him in 2017.
