Melania Trump’s self-titled documentary is dropping on January 30th, but some insiders have gotten a sneak peak at the film and confirmed what the trailer suggested: there’s not a trace of Ivanka Trump. Rumors of Melania feuding quietly with her step-daughter have been around since Donald Trump’s first administration, and the absence of Ivanka in any clips of Melania’s new documentary doesn’t help in the squashing of these rumors, in fact, it only adds fuel to the fire. Keep reading for more information.
According to insiders speaking to Rob Shuter’s Substack, Ivanka’s absence from the film was not accidental. “Melania and Ivanka do not get along—not at all,” one source explained, and another added, “there’s real tension, and Melania made it clear she didn’t want Ivanka anywhere near this film.”
“There’s zero love lost,” the source continued, saying that “Ivanka’s absence is intentional.” Neither Ivanka nor Melania have addressed their supposed feud, but neither has really done anything to deny the rumors either.
