I'm not going to defend Mel Gibson, but it's fully in line for any political thread to rail on someone out of context. I looked in on what Gibson was doing, around the Hacksaw Ridge era 2016, and he had gotten sober, worked to repair his damage to the Jewish community and domestic abuse survivors, and generally seemed to be trying to not be such an ass. I thought that he was being let back into Hollywood. It was sort of a 'oh, isn't forgiveness nice' story.
Now it looks like he is deep in his Nic Cage, 'I will play any part in any movie' era of his career, and he in not doing anything of note. What actually tf happened over covid to this guy? Loon part two? Off the wagon?
Which is totally fair, but bringing up the stuff that he spent years trying to make up for is kind of the wrong message, too.
Did he just unfortunately get caught up in MAGA, and now he's lost like a heroin addict?
