Mel Gibson Apologizes for Mocking ASL Interpreter; D4vd Loses Legal Team

Mel Gibson has issued an apology for what he described as "thoughtless idiocy" after appearing to mock an American Sign Language interpreter at Fan Expo Canada. Video circulated online showing the "Braveheart" star making hand gestures behind the interpreter's back as he took the stage for a Q&A session. Gibson stated his actions were not intended maliciously, but backlash has grown over the insensitive behavior.

In separate legal developments, singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has parted ways with his private legal team and will now be represented by public defenders. D4vd faces serious charges including murder, sexual abuse, and dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl. The reasons for the change in legal representation were not immediately clear.
