Melania Trump was an enigmatic figure in the White House during Donald Trump’s administration, but she’s changing that narrative the second time around. Even though the Republican Party has often shunned Hollywood for being “too woke,” the future first lady is leaning all the way into the entertainment industry with her next project.
On Sunday, Jan. 5, Amazon announced that it was working on a “behind the scenes” documentary with Melania and they had already begun filming. Production started in December 2024, per The New York Times, and Amazon is “excited to share this truly unique story.” The move comes on the heels of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos cozying up to Donald Trump after a rather prickly relationship during his first term in office.
Bezos congratulated the president-elect on X on Nov. 6, 2024. He wrote, “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”
Melania might be looking to rewrite her legacy as the First Lady of the United States. She promoted her memoir, Melania, during the crucial parts of the 2024 presidential campaign and now she’s headed to Hollywood as an executive producer of her own documentary — that means, she controls the details of her story. Still, it’s a big turn of events for a woman who gave the impression that she “didn’t want to be the first lady,” according to expert Kate Anderson Brower.
Brower, who wrote First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies, told SheKnows in August 2023 that Melania was “unapologetic” about her reluctance toward the unpaid role. “She wasn’t interested in doing what we expected of her,” the author added. Brower believed that Donald Trump’s wife “lowered the bar” for what a first lady should accomplish during her husband’s administration. “We don’t expect to see or hear from her. If we do, it’s surprising,” she added.
Well, Americans should expect to see and hear more from Melania from a different perspective. The Hollywood move also has us wondering if the rumors about her making New York City, not the White House, her four-year home base are false because this is a curious turn of events from an essentially mysterious public figure.
