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.

Exactamundo!
It is called *Hypocrisy* The Left wants to obliterate anyone that does not come to their cause which is Deviant debauchery which is one cause of America’s Downfall.
However if you are a raging homosexual, who blames the USA for Hurricaine Katrina, and sympathizes with Muslim causes
you are in like flint in *Hollywood*
he has a habit of that God bless him..
you should be warned ...he loathes everything Dixie that ain’t black
So, what do you want to do Mel? Send him to a gulag. Have that gay Muslim Obama kick his ass?
I'm interested in what fascist thing you would like to do to him.
Let me get this straight...I criticize Gibson for using horribly abusive language to the mother of his child, and you extrapolate from that that I wish to send him to a gulag?
To answer your question, the thing I wish to do to him is briefly talk about him on the internet. Do you consider that "fascist"?
Ah, so you agree nothing should be done.
Since this is the case when will you liberals finally STFU about it?
Close, he tries to parse like his other hero Bill Clinton.
Where did I condemn Christians?
No it's not.
Im not quite sure America has paid for the mistake of slavery, but even if it has paid for that mistake, it does not minimize that mistake or absolve America of slavery and placing African Americans in scientific experiments.
You're a liberal. You always have been.
On FR since December of 2004.
Whatever you do, don't bring up the Civil War! You'll be called a damnyankee before you can blink...
Amazing how namby pamby ‘conservatives’ can be. Let Mel make another Patriot, Braveheart or The Passion and I’ll be there. Screw all these self righteous morons who promotes, solicit and buy all kinds of BS out of black artist including the word nigger and than sanctimoniously pull this crap.
If you truly had been here a while you wouldn't be supporting anything this liberal says. As you can clearly see no one else does.
Hey Tru (what an oxymoron!),
How many American's of African descent owned black slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation? How many other nations enslaved and mistreated others? How does Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe treat white farmers? How do Moslems in Sudan treat Christians and Animists?
No nation on earth has a squeeky clean past. Today, many nations far surpass any cruelty committed by our nation. It would be worthwhile to address their crimes. However, it's "liberal-chic" to trash the United States.
Your constant Anti-American screed is how you're recognized as a liberal.
By the way. You has a smell!
Eaker,
That’s not true. African nations that practice slavery do not allow an education for those they deem inferior.
While I've criticized Gibson on this thread, it would be good to keep things in perspective. I don't hesitate to buy something if it's made in China. The fact that Gibson is (apparently) a racist jerk pales in comparison by several thousand orders of magnitude next to that, so it won't keep me from seeing his movies, especially if they're along the lines of The Patriot or Braveheart (you can keep The Passion of the Christ...blech).
That's "The War Between the States," you Pink Fish Surveyer!
Well you are correct, *TRu* is quick to condemn the USA however, and a free pass for everyone else...
Seems suspect to me..
Months, but who's counting...? In any case, an argument stands on its own regardless of how long a poster has been on a particular board, does it not?
If you truly had been here a while you wouldn't be supporting anything this liberal says. As you can clearly see no one else does.
Groupthink much?
How can a man of his age and stature let a woman do this to him?
He can get all the leg he wants, why make himself vulnerable on a career level? Why have another child?
I just don’t get it. He’s obviously on self-destruct mode.
He f***ed up, big time.
This is Conservative Forum. Liberal trolls are not appreciated. It has NOTHING to do with "group think".
