Minutes after RadarOnline.com dropped the explosive audio tape bombshell, it has emerged Mel Gibson’s talent agency has sacked the Oscar-winning actor.
William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Hollywood’s largest agency, informed the actor's representatives that he would no longer be represented by them, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
"I'd rather get engaged to Lindsay Lohan than have anything to do with him," one studio executive has reportedly said, labeling Gibson untouchable in the industry.
WME’s partner, Ari Emanuel, publicly shunned the Braveheart star after his 2006 DUI incident in which he made anti-Semitic remarks.
An agency source said the organization had stuck with Gibson because of his long-time association with veteran Hollywood agent Ed Limato, who died last week.
"Mel was really important to Ed," a source said.
"He was with him for 32 years, and I think Ed saw him as a son."
But he added, "The world knows how Ari feels and he has never changed that opinion."
That view worsened after Gibson admitted he hit his ex-lover, Oksana Grigorieva, because she “fucking deserved it.”
In a previous tape obtained by RadarOnline.com, Gibson is heard making racist remarks about blacks and Latinos.
"You look like a f---ing pig in heat... If you get raped by a pack of n------, it will be your fault,” Gibson said of Grigorieva.

Don't you have to have talent to stay with a talent agency?
He is just another racist who has been allowed to make money because of his hollywood connections...His inner circle knows his true feelings and they know he has always had racist views....let's see how many people jump up and down about this like they did CB....he is part of the old boys club, so I doubt they will go about it with the same tenacity.
@10:54 TRUE.
There are a lot of racists in hollywood. Just look at the negative images of ppl of color they perpetuate. He just said aloud what a lot of them say in private.
He's worth almost a bil.,I heard so they dropped him, so fucking what. You need agency rep. to get jobs to make money. He already has both. This little performance by Ari, don't mean shit and he knows it.
ya know, some of this douchebag's movies were actually pretty good: mad max, letal 1-3,ransom, braveheart, apocalypto, and he's a good actor, not the greatest but solid good actor. with that said, he needs psychiatric help. it seems he expected a certain level of commitment from his mistress turned girlfriend turned baby mama. how foolish of him.
Amen @3:51pm, I have never seen The Passion of the Christ but heard it is excellent works. He is a solid performer. However, I would be disappointed in a Clint Eastwood, Sean Penn and Robert DeNiro. I pick up their movies without question because I know the caliber of work that they do. It is most unfortunate we have these tirades from Mr. Gibson.
Also, what did he expect from this woman that helped to wreck his home. If they will do it with you, they will do it to you. The wife of upteem years quietly, yet quickly got out of the picture. It speaks volumes to me.

Just come to show you that having money even lots of money does not make you happy or a good person. I think he cursed himself even more when he left his family for this woman he really knew nothing about. He may have a billion dollars but lacking real values and common sense bring down even the wealthiest of men.
