Brett Ratner, director of a new documentary about Melania Trump, said Thursday that he understood why crew members reportedly asked that their names not appear in the film.

After Rolling Stone reported that most of the New York “Melania” team requested that they not be formally credited, Ratner was asked about it at the Kennedy Center premiere.

“I understand that if a liberal is working on the movie and doesn’t want to appear in the credits, but wants to feed his family. I don’t blame anyone for that,” he said.

Ratner hinted that at least some of the reluctant workers were “day players” at his filming locations in New York, D.C., and Florida.

A production person who has his name on the project told the outlet that he regretted doing it because of Trump’s second term. “I’m much more alarmed now than I was a year ago,” the person said.

“I feel a little uncomfortable with the propaganda element of this,” said another in Rolling Stone. “But Brett Ratner was the worst part of working on this project.”

In fact, Rolling Stone wrote, several complained about Ratner while praising Melania Trump as “friendly and very engaged.”

Amazon forced its own employees to work on the project despite any political objections, according to a New York Times report.

Ratner had not made a movie since several sexual harassment allegations in 2017. He is now set to make another “Rush Hour” sequel after Trump called for a reboot of the action franchise.
