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.

[Troll thread hijack alert]
I am not defending his words because I dont think its true.
You inserted the event of him talking to the police, and I said that was not private so why did you bring it up? You never answered and then you continue on with your brain dead diatribe.
The Constitution actually does not grant the right to privacy, yet that is what Roe v Wade is based on, are you for Abortion? I will make a bet that you are.
You are such a dense troll. Your arguments are weak and your methods are sloppy and dull.
Where did I defend Clinton?
Sorry, my mistake.
Since you defend Mel Gibson for saying that the “Jews are responsible for all the wars” I thought you were also defending H. Clinton and H. Thomas for their Anti-Semitic statements.
Tru,
Why do you advocate acid attacks on Afghani school girls? Only a very sick, evil little person would advocate such a thing.
1st, 4th and 14th Amendments
Whnen you put it that context, yes. But the right to privacy does extend to killing the unborn.
Agree?
Mel is cuckoo for coco puffs.
At a certain point, when you have enough, the money doesn't matter anymore. It's about the power, the attention and so on. It's about being a major player in the most glamorous game in the world. That's hard to just walk away from.
No way his career is close to over. His independent production of the Passion was a bigger threat to his career than his use of some off color language in berating his worthless slut girlfriend.
I never defended Mel Gibson. I actually said that Leonardo Decaprio is one hunky son of a bitch.
Have you stopped throwing acid on school girls?
“You inserted the event of him talking to the police...”
Yes, Mel Gibson making a statement to the police that the “Jews are responsible for all the wars” is relevant during a discussion of Mel Gibson.
“The Constitution actually does not grant the right to privacy, yet that is what Roe v Wade is based on, are you for Abortion? “
I am very much opposed to abortion and believe that Roe was decided on the flawed belief that there is a Right to Privacy in the Constitution.
However, I am amused as to how many people here are in agreement with Justices; Blackmun, Burger, Douglas, Brennan, Stewart, Marshall, and Powell that there is indeed a Right to Privacy in the Constitution.
At least the good news is that trumandogz has agreed to kill himself before close of business today!
Either that or he has a lot of responding to me to do as I will not let his racist liberal ass redefine the issues.
The issues are as I and others here, except him left them yesterday before his mom unplugged his gameboy and put him to bed.
“Jews are responsible for all the wars”
Jews are responsible for *WINNING* all the wars from evil gentile regimes who want to destroy *Israel*
*Fixed it now for ya*!
Yet you seem to believe the constitution allows you to throw acid on school girls. What is wrong with you? Haven't enough potatos suffered?
Again, I hold Americans to a higher standard than I do the Muslims when it comes to abiding by the Laws of God.
And America violated those laws when slavey existed in America.
That’s right. They used “right to privacy” in Roe V Wade. However privacy has nothing to do with abortion. But it does set a precedent for a “Right to Privacy”. As do all the other cases using the 1st, 4th and 14th Amendments.
Is that why you hate the Jews?
So, you believe that Roe v. Wade was a good decision as it was based on the Right to Privacy which you seem to believe is in the Constitution?
You: Please explain.
If you were a Conservative, I wouldn't have to.
“Is that why you hate the Jews?”
First of all, I am married to a Jewish woman and our three children have been raised Jewish.
Now, can you please point out where I indicated that I hated Jews?
I can’t imagine how brain dead they had to be to call murdering babies a “right to privacy”. HOW does that even come CLOSE to applying?!
