[Los Angeles] This comes from Hollywood gossip rag, TheWrap, which has uncovered some unsavory connections. It's about Mel Gibson who is back in the news again after an impassioned plea for forgiveness from a former detractor, Allison Hope Weiner, a freelance journalist who has her own show on TheLip, has miraculously changed her mind about the fabulously wealthy "ultra conservative" Gibson. Weiner has even talked about Gibson coming to her Seder. He's truly won her over.
Yet, if this looks as though it's another upbeat public relations miracle, proving once and for all that Mel is reformed and has cast off his old ways since being a blacklisted, Catholic film maker and actor in Hollywood, think again.
There is more. Alison Hope Weiner not only works on the team of LipTV, which is not only partly owned by Gibson, but his son, Will Gibson, is its producer and long-time friend Michael Lustig is the founder. Lustig gave a favorable deposition for him during his custody battle with the mother of his daughter, Oksana Grigorievna.
The two were also seen clowning around on a hotel balcony at Cannes during when the film, The Beaver made its appearance.
LipTV may be eager to give its support, but it is also very Leftist, which has some scratching their heads. Gibson has owned a share in this enterprise for two years during which it has produced shows in support of abortion, attacking conservative pro-life groups and the prostitute group Femen.
The investment has been made through Gibson's Icon Entertainment for an amount 1.5 million dollars according to one source close to Gibson.

So the day has come. We expect Mel Gibson to be more Catholic than the Pope.
Hollywood is run by Satan and Mel Gibson has just sold his soul to him.
If Mel's business supports a Jewish woman to the point that she feels strongly positive in her opinion of him, doesn't that only confirm her opinion that he is not anti-semitic?
Why does a distant ownership by Mel of the company invalidate her positive experiences but it does NOT invalidate negative comments in the past from others who worked for Mel (esterhaus, for example)?
To me Waxman's article is just a person with an agenda masquerading as a journalist. At least Weiner admitted her piece was an opinion piece.
What's wrong with him? How can someone who created such moving and heart-rending Catholic portrayal of the Passion of Our Lord reduce himself to this?
The Evil One is after him alright if this is all true...
Mel how could you?
I must remember him in my prayers.

He has a significant capital investment in a company that promotes abortion, FEMEN and is extremely close to the man who founded it.
I'd say he bought himself some PR at the expense of his principles.
May he repent.
In the words of Paul Lynde (while drinking during his lunch break during the filming of Hollywood Squares) "oh those miserable jews"!
It is in Journalism 101 NOT to have any financial ties to the subject of one's pieces. Plus, while her article recommends him to Hollywood, it doesn't say much for him as a Roman Catholic... Saders??
The man who founded it is a front
He is. That's easy!
What wrong with Mel? He has some type of cluster B personality disorder, most likely Borderline.
There was money to be made in the Passion and Gibson knew it.
I think he believes.
But he also believes in God and I assume he's still Catholic.
Mel Gibson is a Catholic as Mohammed.
It seems like he is struggling, is at a very low point and needs continuing prayers. Don't we all.
He's been running like this for years, I'll bet. I hope he settles down.
So the day has come. We expect Mel Gibson to be more Catholic than the Pope.
