Melania producer slams Jonny Greenwood dispute as ‘a blatant lie,’ but the truth is far messier than it seems

Marc Beckman, the CEO of New York advertising agency DMA United and Melania Trump’s manager, has addressed a controversy surrounding the recent documentary, Melania. Jonny Greenwood, lead guitarist of Radiohead, and film director Paul Thomas Anderson claimed that music from their film Phantom Thread was used without consulting Greenwood. They called it a “breach of his composer agreement” and demanded its removal.

According to Variety, Beckman refused to back down and described the accusation as  “a blatant lie”. He also stated that the song “is in the film forever” and would not be removed. He also revealed that the documentary has faced music rights disputes on more than one front, with at least one remaining unresolved.
