Mel Gibson’s Anti-Semitism
Another A-list celebrity whose reputation suffered a major blow, yet managed to keep his career alive, is actor Mel Gibson. His exceptional acting in renowned films like Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, and Mad Max earned him widespread recognition.
However, in 2010, recordings were released showing Mel Gibson engaging in a disturbing rant directed at his then-wife, and he later pleaded no contest to a battery charge related to that incident. Before that, he faced trouble when he was pulled over for driving under the influence and launched into an anti-Semitic tirade. These incidents led to a significant backlash, and Gibson was effectively blocked from the entertainment industry for almost a decade. However, many believe it wasn’t long enough, given the severity of his actions.
