On Thursday, the former first lady shared a brief video teaser, where she described the process of writing her upcoming memoir, which is simply titled Melania, as "a deeply personal and reflective journey for me."

"As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts," Melania said.

The clip included a rapid slideshow of photos of Melania over the years, with only a few showing her with her husband.

"I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth," she added.

The memoir, which will be released on October 1, comes as Melania has been avoiding the public eye and her husband's side as he runs for re-election since the January 6 Capitol riots – despite having played such a major role in his previous campaign and administration.

Her absence has sparked speculation about the state of their marriage and even conspiracy theories about what she actually thinks about her husband.

In a recent interview, a former aide to the Trump administration suggested that Melania secretly hates her husband and hopes his challenger, Kamala Harris, wins the race.
