Hollywood director Brett Ratner has said he "didn't have a personal relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein after a photo emerged of him with the late sex offender and two women.
Ratner, who directed the new documentary about Melania Trump as well as the Rush Hour films, said he only met Epstein once and that the woman he was pictured embracing was his fiancée.
"About 20 years ago, I had a girlfriend," Ratner told Fox News. "I was in love with her. We were engaged. She was my fiancée.
"We went to an event, and we were sitting on the couch, and the photo was taken at that event. I didn't have a personal relationship with him. I didn't know him."
The photo was among millions of pictures and documents relating to Epstein that were released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) on Friday.
