Agency Drops Mel Gibbson Hours After Audio Rant Released

The expletive filled, Mel Gibson racist rant was released early Friday afternoon, and the backlash has already started. Just hours later his long-time agency dropped him from their client list for fear of embarrassment of being tied to him.

On top of this Gibson is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department over allegations of domestic violence towards his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.Not much of a stretch after hearing the tape I'm sure. Looks like Mel will be bargain hunting for cheap health insurance soon.

Just last week Gibson’s agent of more than 30 years, Ed Limato, passed away.

“It is rare for William Morris Endeavor to dump an actor with such an A-list, high profile – but after they heard the tapes they probably would have realized her committed career suicide,’ said Hollywood Image consultant, Michael Sands. “It could have destroyed the agency’s image to have kept him on board.”
