Inside the Melania Doc: Chaos, Cash, and Controversy Behind the Scenes

Rolling Stone details the behind‑the‑scenes saga of Amazon’s Melania: Twenty Days to History: a $40 million rights deal, three concurrent production crews, grueling schedules, and friction with director Brett Ratner. While Melania is described as engaged, crew members recount chaos, long hours, and disputes over credits. Ethics questions arise over a licensing arrangement that left the First Lady with about $28 million, fueling scrutiny that the deal could look like buying access, though Amazon denies ulterior motives. The studio plans a heavy promo push, but opening‑weekend projections remain uncertain and no major revelations about Melania are promised.
