Mel Gibson Facing Renewed Backlash for Anti-Semitic Rants After New Movie Trailer Comes Out
Mel Gibson's latest movie trailer caused a buzz on social media this week, but probably not for [...]
When people say “cancel culture is real,” remind them of the time that raging misogynist and anti-Semite Mel Gibson got paid millions of dollars to play Santa Claus. 😒 https://t.co/1HA55Td4gv

Whenever Gibson appears in a new project or one is announced, his controversial past is brought up, just as it was when the Fatman trailer was released. He has been accused of anti-Semitism and homophobia in the past. In the most infamous case, he was recorded going on an anti-Semitic rant when he was arrested for a DUI in Los Angeles. During his 2010 split with Oksana Grigorieva, he was accused of domestic violence.

They let Mel Gibson make movies despite his homophobic & anti-semitic rants. He told his wife she'd be "r***d by a pack of ni****s" and they STILL let him make movies & win Oscars.
Saw him trending, looked up the producers for his next movie and it's no one I'll miss.✌🏽 pic.twitter.com/gaztoivGn9

Hollywood stopped working with Gibson for several years, until 2010 when he began slowly resurfacing in smaller projects. In 2011, he worked with Jodie Foster on The Beaver and appeared in Robert Rodriguez's 2013 action movie Machete Kills. In 2014, Sylvester Stallone welcomed him into the Expendables franchise by casting him in the third film. Fatman is his fourth movie of 2020, as he also has Last Looks and Boss Level completed.

prevnextReminder that Mel Gibson is an antisemitic, anti-Black bigot who physically assaulted his girlfriend.
He blamed Jews for “all the wars in the world.”
He called Winona Ryder an “oven dodger.”
Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Gibson’s career renaissance shouldn’t either.
