It's interesting to try to divine the chicken-and-egg of Mel Gibson's firing by WME last week: Was it his (first-alleged, now aurally proved) misogynistic and racist comments that enabled the agency to part ways with him, or was it the death of longtime agent Ed Limato that did the trick?
Earlier today the news surfaced that William Morris Endeavor had split with Gibson last week-- as Limato lay seriously ill, and just several days after Radar Online broke the news that Gibson had verbally abused his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva by using the N-word. (The reports were just that until today, when audio of the Gibson incident was released on Radar.)
There's of course a third variable in all this -- the fact that Gibson just wasn't much of a bankable star anymore anyway.

“A person should not be excused for their hateful words simply because they are drunk.”
I’m not an admirer of Mel Gibson, just an enemy of vicious lying Liberal hypocrites. My guess is if Mel had said something vile about Sarah Palin, the L.A. Times wouldn’t have objected.
And how about the Reverend Wright? He wasn’t even drunk, as far as I know. Nor were his most famous faithful parishioners, Barack and Oprah. What’s their excuse?
You are getting liberal slobber everywhere.
“Funny how you forgot to add in the Africans who SOLD their (People)slaves into bondage....”
And that excuses those who brought human beings from Africa to America to sell them into bondage and those who held those human beings in bondage for hundreds of years?
No my father said what he said in *PRIVATE* nobody TAPED him and plastered it all over the TV, INTERNET and PRINT AD’s....
MEL SAID WHAT HE SAID IN PRIVATE.

The point is, I don't know if he was scared off of "Warrior Queen" by the early criticism or not.
At any rate, it's Hollywood and you're only as good, or bad, as your next hit. Everything else is forgotten.
“And how about the Reverend Wright? He wasn’t even drunk, as far as I know. Nor were his most famous faithful parishioners, Barack and Oprah. What’s their excuse?”
I’m not excusing Wright or those who sat in his church.
“However, I’m not sure Americans want to see a film staring a man who goes on Anti-Semitic rants, and tells the mother of his child that she is going to be raped by a bunch of N-Bombs.”
If Silence of the Lambs is remade, Mel will be offered the role of Hannibal Lecter.
YOU ARE BAD!
LOL...
Stop posting Jail Bait Photos...
Oh really? And just who is "everyone"? You got a family of mice in your pockets???????
“I agree with this article. Mel Gibson has lost credibility with virtually everyone.”
I agree that he’s lost credibilty also -— as a man who embraces Christ’s teachings. I hope he takes time to truly search his heart and pray in the name of Jesus to have the hatred within him cleansed.
The hell you aren't.
You are quoting him!
YOU are the racist on this thread.
Did you happen to hear the latest Selective Service ad on radio?
The announcer points out there are two great Americans:
Martin Luther King and Ceasar Chavez. I kid you not!
You can tell who is in Command!
If he were a longtime Democrat Senator from West Virginia and used racial slurs, would his career be over?
I guess it cannot be known for sure how much the movie made since there are various sources saying different things.
Sorry, I was not aware that Gibson had a right to privacy when he told the police “F#####g Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
I will shell out good money to see it too!
As long as Gibson doesn’t GO MOSLEM, he can scream at that Russian whore all he wants.
Has anybody on this thread ever tried to date a Russian woman?
Gold. Diggers.
They are vicious snakes.
I agree. Mel Gibson is a troubled man...lots of anger in there...but I truly doubt he hates blacks and Jews. He uses all kinds of filthy language. I am disappointed in his running around with the young girl more than anything he has said. I feel so bad for all his kids from his long time wife.
