Robert Downey Jr. also helped other celebrities in the past
Mel Gibson was completely rejected by Hollywood after the infamous Malibu DUI arrest in 2006 during which he unleashed an anti-Semitic rant. Then in 2010, some tapes were leaked in which Gibson screamed racist remarks, including using the n-word, at his then-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. She later accused him of physically abusing her. Mel Gibson’s career was basically finished but Robert Downey Jr pleaded forgiveness for the actor during a public speech at an award ceremony. After that incident, only a certain part of Hollywood was ready to work with him. The Jewish community still boycotts him due to his extremely anti-semitic views.
In 2016, Mel Gibson received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival where he premiered his movie, Hacksaw Ridge. The movie went on to receive six Oscar nominations. That included a nod for Gibson for best director.
Hammer’s situation is just as controversial as Mel Gibson’s. However, the actor might still have a chance to redeem himself as he hasn’t been officially prosecuted for any of the accusations.
