General Discussion

Working on the film “wasn’t easy money,” explained yet another source, as “people were worked really hard” on the production. And the person most commonly cited for causing those hard conditions is director Brett Ratner.

One Melania crew member told Rolling Stone that Ratner was “slimy.” Melania Trump, while “boring,” they said, was “totally nice.”....

“Brett Ratner was the worst part of working on this project,” another crew member said. While others were put off by Ratner’s reported lack of cleanliness (he left a constant trail of “discarded orange peels and gum wrappers” everywhere he went, according to the crew), others said the director was less than charming.

The Daily Beast has reached out Ratner’s company for comment.

The report includes an anecdote about Ratner eating “in the grubbiest way possible” while crew members were not allowed a meal break. One said Ratner was “either being a d---” or had “no awareness whatsoever.” Another said he dropped his chewed gum into a cup of coffee on her cart and “didn’t acknowledge my existence.”
