"I'd rather get engaged to Lindsay Lohan than have anything to do with him," one studio executive has reportedly said, labeling Gibson untouchable in the industry.
WME’s partner, Ari Emanuel, publicly shunned the Braveheart star after his 2006 DUI incident in which he made anti-Semitic remarks.
An agency source said the organization had stuck with Gibson because of his long-time association with veteran Hollywood agent Ed Limato, who died last week.
