(HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) For the past decade, Mel Gibson has received the cold shoulder from Hollywood.
After a DUI arrest in July 2006, the Oscar-winning Braveheart director hurled statements about “f—ing Jews” at an officer. Within hours, the arrest report was leaked, and industry reaction was swift and sudden.
Ari Emanuel, then at Endeavor, penned an open letter that said the industry can’t “allow Mel Gibson to get away with such tragically inflammatory statements.” (He later dumped Gibson as an agency client.)
