Mel Gibson And Joe Eszterhas

We all come from different backgrounds and therefore have different perspectives and opinions about things. Sometimes, we just don’t see eye to eye with people with opposite beliefs, so conflict is bound to arise. Mel Gibson and Joe Eszterhas used to work together writing a script revolving around Judah Maccabee, a Jewish Warrior hero.

Things were going well, but Joe soon said that Mel said insensitive things about him and his culture, and because of this, he wrote an entire nine-page long memo about his anti-Semitic remarks. Mel wasn’t too happy about it, so he wrote his own letter in response to Joe as well. In his letter, he asked why Joe didn’t leave if he felt so offended. After firing back at each other, Joe decided that no amount of investment money would make him work with Mel, effectively ending their work relationship from then on.
