Melania Trump has allegedly snubbed Ivanka Trump from attending the movie premiere of her upcoming documentary at the Kennedy Center that is set to release at the end of January. Several sources say the First Lady has excluded Donald Trump’s eldest daughter intentionally, which isn’t too surprising given that the film apparently doesn’t include or mention Ivanka at all despite it being nearly two hours long. The movie, simply titled “Melania,” will premiere on January 29 at various locations across America before being released in theatres the following day on January 30.
Ivanka Trump allegedly “not surprised” at being spurned by stepmother, sources say
Ivanka Trump has allegedly been excluded from being invited to the movie premiere of Melania’s documentary at the controversially named Trump-Kennedy Center, according to insiders speaking with Rob Shuter through his Nice But Naughty Substack.
Melania’s stepdaughter has since responded to the snub, apparently saying to friends, “Of course it hurts, but I’m not surprised.”
One source suggests that Melania doesn’t want the attention to be split between her and Ivanka at the premiere. “Melania wants this night all to herself,” the insider said. “When the spotlight’s this dim, no one’s sharing it.”
Another source says that this exclusion of Ivanka Trump carries throughout the $40 million movie, which is directed by Brett Ratner and backed by Amazon. The insider said, “It’s Melania, front and center, no interruptions. She’s drawing a line. Ivanka knows her place.”
If it’s true that Melania has nixed her stepdaughter from both the film and its premiere, it will support continued rumors that Donald Trump’s wife and daughter do not get along with one another.
The friction between the two Trump family members could be part of the reason why Ivanka decided to celebrate the New Year in Aspen instead of being at Donald and Melania’s New Year’s party at Mar-a-Lago.
