This week, an unusual rumor gained widespread attention, suggesting that Mel Gibson was directing a four-part documentary series aimed at uncovering a global trafficking operation worth $34 billion.
However, these claims lacked any substantial evidence to support them.
The origin of this speculation was dubious at best, yet the internet picked up on it and ran with the story while awaiting an official statement.
As anticipated, Mel Gibson’s team has now responded to the rumors, providing a response that aligns with what most people expected.
When contacted for a comment on the matter, Mel Gibson’s team chose not to provide any information.
However, the actor and filmmaker’s publicist, Alan Nierob, informed the Associated Press that Gibson is not involved in the production of any documentary.
Additionally, Tim Ballard, the founder of Operation Underground Railroad, shared a similar viewpoint, further supporting the statement.
“Mel deserves all the credit for taking the initiative to further the critical work that we do. I am personally grateful for his support as we worked on this documentary, however reports this four-part series is actually being produced by Mr. Gibson are not accurate. It’s being produced by Nick Nanton of DNA Films and includes several executive producers such as Kyle Cease, Tony and Sage Robbins and other wonderful and talented people.”
To summarize, while Mel Gibson has had past involvement with the organization, he is not assuming any creative or behind-the-camera responsibilities for this particular project.
It is worth noting that the project does exist, but Gibson is not involved in its development or production.
