Mel Gibson has been dropped by his agency following the release of sickening tapes in which the actor is heard spewing racists rants and berating ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
William Morris Endeavor Entertainment informed Gibson’s reps they will no longer be representing him.
Ed Limato, Gibson’s longtime agent, died last week, and agency partner Ari Emanuel took the opportunity to break ties with the troubled actor.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Emanuel had previously expressed hostility toward Gibson after the actor made anti-Semitic remarks and made remarks implying skepticism about the Holocaust.
Gibson is currently under investigation for assault allegations, leaving studio execs leary. “I’d rather get engaged to Lindsay Lohan than have anything to do with him,” said one studio chief.
