Mel Gibson allegedly beat and verbally abused a photographer in Australia.
Mel Gibson has found himself in another controversy. According to reports, Mel Gibson is accused of physically and verbally abusing a photographer. The photographer claims the actor shoved her and yelled at her outside a movie theater on Sunday.
News Corp Australia photographer Kristi Miller was allegedly caught in the middle of a fight outsdie of the Palace Verona cinema.
According to The Daily Telegraph, for which Miller was working, Gibson shoved her from behind after she took a photograph of the actor and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, leaving the movie theater, which had been screening movies as part of the Israeli film festival.
Mel Gibson’s publicist, Alan Nierob – which is also Caitlyn Jenner’s publicist and mastermind behind Jenner’s transition – dismissed Miller’s claims as a fabrication of the truth, the Telegraph reported.
“There was no physical contact whatsoever with this photographer, who was harassing my client and his friend,” Nierob said.
Gibson accused Miller of “invading” his space and “disrespecting” him by taking the photo. Miller says she was several feet away from the actor when the photographs were taken.
Miller told the Telegraph, “I thought he was going to punch me in the face.”
“He was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I’m not even a human being and I will go to hell. He swore and called me a c**t. It was non-stop, he didn’t even breathe,” she reported.
Telegraph editor Paul Whittaker had something to say about Mel Gibson: “Mel Gibson is a major film star and movie director. He’s a public figure. Being a movie star does not give him the right to shove and insult someone.”
