In Family Court, a Reckoning for Gibson's Erratic Career

In the recent article, In Family Court, a Reckoning for Gibson's Erratic Career, the NYTimes discussed the future of Mel Gibson's career.. That is, if he even has one.

For those of you who are unaware, Mel Gibson was recently dropped by his agency and banished from appearing in an upcoming movie "The Hangover Part II" because of recordings that emerged on the web of him ranting in racist terms at his wife, Ms. Grigorieva.

But my only question is, what do these allegations have to do with his ability to produce films or star in movies?

Taking his career into account, let's rewind to movies such as "Braveheart", "A Passion of the Christ", and "Leathal Weapon". All of these films were directed by Mel Gibson. Would these films have been any less successful had they been produced today after the allegations of his wife? I do not believe so.

Mel Gibson, who is now in family court fighting for legal rights for his year old daughter now has to defend himself to a family law judge who has more power than he may believe. The film industry seems to be waiting on the legal system's decision of Mel Gibson before releasing two films he stars in. Being safe much?

The media has decided because he is on trial with his wife, his career and ability to produce films should be on trial as well. Now, does that seem very fair? You decide.
