Mel Gibson has come under fire from internet trolls after reaffirming his support for Donald Trump ahead of the elections. The Hollywood star has supported Trump for years and was even seen saluting the former president at a UFC event in 2021.
In his continued support for Trump, the Oscar-winner recently made a sharp remark about Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. However, as the brief conversation and his harsh criticism of Harris went viral, many began to uncover details about Gibson’s controversial past.
Mel Gibson Confirms His Support for Donald Trump with Scathing Kamala Harris Remark
In a recent conversation with TMZ, Mel Gibson revealed his choice for the upcoming elections. “Whoa, that’s a big question,” he said when asked about who he would be voting for.
“I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I’ll vote for,” he said before affirming that he will indeed be voting for Donald Trump. Gibson then shared his criticism of Kamala Harris, a popular presidential candidate among many in the entertainment industry this election.
I know what it’ll be like if we let her in. And that ain’t good. Miserable track record. No policies to speak of. She’s got the IQ of a fence post.
Although Gibson has previously been open about his support for Trump, he hasn’t been particularly vocal about his political views recently. However, his continued support for Trump and harsh comments about Harris have triggered a wave of backlash, leading many to dig into his controversial past.

Yep, that’s him. The drunken lout who called a female police officer ‘sugar-tits’ while ranting about ‘Jews causing all the problems in the world.’

Mel Gibson is that antisemite from Australia that wanted his lady to get raped by “a pack of ni**ers”, right? pic.twitter.com/09yBad7PDf

Remember when Mel Gibson said “jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” while he was getting arrested for having eight double tequilas and driving a car? Or the time he slapped his girlfriend or was recorded threatening to kill her? No one cares what that lowlife has…

These controversies resurfaced as people reacted to his recent interview. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “The drunken lout who called a female police officer ‘sugar-t**s’ while ranting about ‘Jews causing all the problems in the world.”
Others also noted Gibson’s history of antisemitic remarks, expressing little surprise at his comments about Kamala Harris. Gibson’s troubled history includes a 2006 DUI arrest during which he was recorded making antisemitic remarks, which led to him stepping back from the industry for several years.
Further controversy arose in 2010 when leaked tapes revealed him making racial slurs directed at his then-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. Grigorieva later accused him of physical abuse during their relationship, though Gibson and his legal team reportedly pled no contest to the allegations.
Since his hiatus, Gibson made a significant comeback in 2016 with the war drama Hacksaw Ridge, which earned six Oscar nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, including a nomination for Gibson as Best Director, and won two Oscars.
Since then, he has continued to work in Hollywood, starring in various films, and is directing his upcoming action thriller, Flight Risk, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Topher Grace, and Michelle Dockery, which is scheduled for release on January 24, 2025.
