A longtime adviser to first lady Melania Trump and producer of her vanity documentary has responded to claims that the film included music in breach of a composer agreement.
Marc Beckman spoke to conservative outlet Breitbart on Monday about a statement issued by Phantom Thread composer Jonny Greenwood–English rock band Radiohead’s guitarist–and director Paul Thomas Anderson, in which the pair claimed that Melania had used a piece of music from Anderson’s 2017 film without Universal consulting Greenwood.
“It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the ‘Melania‘ documentary. While Jonny Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, Universal failed to consult Jonny on this third-party use which is a breach of his composer agreement. As a result Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary,” the statement read.
