Alan Ritchson isn’t holding back. The Reacher star went on a lengthy, profanity-filled rant about President Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein — and he thinks Trump belongs in jail, not in charge of the nuclear codes.
Ritchson made the comments while promoting his new film Motor City, and whatever the movie’s marketing team had planned, this probably wasn’t it. Sometimes the promotional trail takes on a life of its own.
What Ritchson Actually Said
The actor didn’t ease into the topic. He went straight at it, bringing up the Epstein files almost immediately during his appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“Yeah, about the way things are and the abuses that are happening — the Epstein files, the f—— Epstein files! Godd— it! Where are they? It’s a f—— law, bitch. Show it. You f—— pedophiles!”
He caught himself mid-rant, seemingly aware of how the swearing might look.
“I shouldn’t say ‘f—’ because I’m a Christian, and people are gonna be like, ‘How can you say f—?’ Because that is something that should make you want to say ‘f—.’”
That self-awareness didn’t last long, though.
“Sorry, God, I’m sweating now,” he added, before diving right back in. “This is my f—— politics, dude. I would f—— railroad these f——. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. f—— move out of the way. I don’t care what room they’re in, bitch move. Give me the f—— manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files.”

Then He Brought Up Trump Directly
Ritchson didn’t stop at the files themselves — he called out Trump specifically, tying the president’s alleged connections to Epstein directly to his access to the country’s nuclear arsenal.
“Don’t you want to see what’s in there so that we can hold people accountable? These f——rapists. We’re just cool with it. That b—– has the keys to the nuclear codes. He’s like all up into 13-year-olds. Like dude, what? Go to jail.”
Trump’s name reportedly shows up more than 1,000 times across the three million Epstein-related documents the government released this year. There are other loose threads too — including a birthday letter Trump allegedly sent Epstein, which the Wall Street Journal published. None of it has been confirmed as damning evidence of wrongdoing, but it’s clearly enough to set Ritchson off.

Ritchson’s Packed Year
Say this for the guy — he’s not short on projects.
Motor City is just one of four films Ritchson’s got coming out this year, alongside War Machine (which already has a sequel in the works after blowing up on Netflix), Runner, and The Man with the Bag. On top of all that, season four of Reacher — the show that made him a household name — drops on Prime Video on August 12.
Motor City itself hit select theaters on Friday, July 24. Ritchson stars alongside Shailene Woodley, Pablo Schreiber, Ben Foster, and Ben McKenzie. The trailer’s below if you want a look.
