Melania Trump's Amazon MGM Studios documentary is nearing release, and the First Lady has kick-started her promotional tour with an interview on Fox. But apparently all is not well behind the scenes.

"According to the writer Michael Wolff, Melania is bigly upset that the murders in Minneapolis are overshadowing the release of the $75 million bribe, I mean documentary, that Amazon made for her," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above. "Alex Pretti was killed on Saturday, the same day they had the VIP screening of the movie at the White House, and now, while she's promoting her film, she has to answer questions about it."

Kimmel goes on to play footage of Melania speaking on Fox, confirming that both the president and her son Barron apparently liked the movie.

"Her son and her husband liked it," says Kimmel. "All the people in the movie are giving it rave reviews. That's enough for me. It is not, however, getting a positive response for some of the people who worked on the film. According to Rolling Stone, two thirds of the New York crew asked to have their names removed from the credits. Two is a lot of thirds."
