Piers Morgan confronts Melania director Brett Ratner about photo with Jeffrey Epstein

"Oh, well, that picture in particular happened 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. I had never been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein before that photo and I was never in contact with him after,"

"I mean, it's horrible. You see, I've been somehow sucked in, you know, through an image,"

"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."

Piers Morgan confronted Brett Ratner with a photograph showing Ratner alongside Jeffrey Epstein during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Ratner said the image was taken about 20 years ago at an event his fiancée invited him to and that he had no prior or subsequent contact with Epstein. Ratner declined to identify his ex-fiancée or another woman whose face was redacted in the Justice Department file release. Ratner said he felt unfairly implicated by the image and described confusion amid many conflicting stories in the Epstein files. Ratner recently returned with a Melania Trump documentary after sexual misconduct accusations in 2017, including allegations from Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.
