Fires in Los Angeles have ravaged luxurious homes in Malibu and Hollywood and damaged film locations, sparking numerous theories about their origin. While some videos suggest a deliberate act, the official narrative points to a natural occurrence.
Actor Mel Gibson was among the first to voice concerns, making accusations against the government during a segment on Fox News. He previously shared his thoughts on Joe Rogan’s podcast, expressing shock at the complete destruction of his home: “I’ve never seen a fire that complete. It’s heartbreaking, given I lived there for about 15 years.”
Gibson directed criticism at California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, recalling a promise Newsom made in 2019 regarding forest management. He lamented that tax funds were likely misused, implying negligence: “It’s unfortunate. The area is now engulfed in flames.”
On a later broadcast, he commented further, stating: “I’ve noticed they’ve been manipulating water supplies, draining reservoirs for various reasons. It raises suspicions—could this be intentional?”
Antonio Banderas’ Reaction to Mel Gibson
Conversely, Antonio Banderas, the Spanish actor, expressed starkly different views compared to Gibson. He addressed the audience at the Academy of Performing Arts in Valladolid, emphasizing the confusion of truth and misinformation in today’s world.
Banderas remarked, “We are in an era where distinguishing what is true from what is not is challenging.” He directly referenced Gibson’s conspiracy theories, calling out the wild speculations, which included theories about radiation from new weapons and even extraterrestrial involvement.
