(July 9) -- Think you've had a bad week?
William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, one of the biggest agencies in the film business, has dropped actor Mel Gibson, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The move from Gibson's longtime agency happened earlier this week, though was not made public until Friday, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Gibson has experienced an especially turbulent period, starting when the website Radar Online broke a story about the actor using a flourish of racist and misogynist language in a taped conversation with Oksana Grigorieva, Gibson's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 8-month-old daughter (listen to Gibson's expletive-laden rant here).
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles prosecutor's office says it has opened an investigation into Gibson's treatment of Grigorieva. According to TMZ.com, though no charges have been filed, the L.A. County Sheriff's Office is looking into allegations of domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment.
A leading man in Hollywood for decades and the director of "The Passion of the Christ," in addition to disparaging women and African-Americans, Gibson has also been heard making slurs toward Hispanics and Jews.
