Jimmy Kimmel Criticizes Amazon’s Melania Trump Documentary as a ‘Bribe’
Jimmy Kimmel has targeted Melania Trump ahead of the release of her documentary, titled “Melania,” directed by Brett Ratner. This film, distributed by Amazon MGM, showcases the First Lady’s life in the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration.
Kimmel’s Critique of the Documentary
In his monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel described the documentary as a “$75 million bribe.” He referenced Michael Wolff’s claims that Melania is frustrated by media attention on other issues, particularly the backlash from ICE-related incidents in Minnesota, which overshadow the film’s premiere.
Melania’s Public Message
The First Lady promoted her documentary during an appearance on Fox News, emphasizing the need for unity in the country. Kimmel sarcastically responded, suggesting her call for unity might be more like an invitation for tea.
Laughter at Home
In the Fox News segment, Melania claimed that her husband, Donald Trump, and their son, Barron, enjoyed watching the film. Kimmel doubted this and joked that Trump likely fell asleep within the first few minutes.
Documentary Highlights
