Melania Says New Docuseries Is 'Kind of Exciting'

Melania suggests the new series could have actual revelations.
The first lady revealed that the new, untitled project will have her answering questions on "private matters."
“It’s more conversation one-on-one with me,” she explained. “There’s some private questions that I will answer that people never heard before, so it’s kind of exciting.”

Melania Gets Another Documentary After 'Melania'

Melania's documentary was savaged by critics.
The upcoming docuseries appears to be related to the Trump administration's $40 million deal with Amazon to document Trump's life in the White House.
That resulted in the January documentary Melania, directed by Brett Ratner, who was accused of misconduct by multiple women during the #MeToo movement. The film grossed $16.7 million — respectable for a documentary, but nowhere close to recouping the $40 million plus the $35 million Amazon spent on marketing the project.
Melania was widely panned as little more than brand management for the first lady, with critics arguing that the film played more like an extended commercial for Trump than a revealing look at her life.

The docuseries comes as questions swirl around Melania.
The new docuseries announcement comes as critics are focused on Trump's relative absence from the White House.
The ex-model barely spends any time with her husband, choosing instead to spend her days in New York City. There are rumors that she only appears with Donald Trump if she's paid to do so.
Furthermore, Melania has not spoken about the president's relationship with sycophantic aide Natalie Harp. Conflicting reports have suggested she's either jealous of the 35-year-old blonde who writes Donald intimate letters, or she's grateful that another woman is taking up the president's attention so she doesn't have to.
