Mel Gibson Proposed A ‘Crazy’ Conspiracy Theory About The LA Wildfires After His Home Was Destroyed, Which Left Many Baffled

Actor Mel Gibson recently shared a controversial theory about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed his £12 million Malibu home.

His comments have sparked heated debate, with some people calling his ideas bold while others dismissed them as baseless conspiracy theories.

In an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle, Gibson speculated that the fires might not have been entirely natural.

He mentioned that the conditions seemed “too convenient,” pointing out the lack of water to combat the fires and the windy weather that helped them spread rapidly. He suggested that the destruction could have been intentional, possibly to clear homes from valuable land.

“What baffled me,” Gibson said, “was that water reserves were missing or mismanaged for some reason. California has had water issues for a while, but in situations like this, you can’t help but wonder—was this on purpose?” He also referred to reports of suspects being arrested for starting fires, questioning whether these individuals acted alone or were part of a larger plan.

Gibson compared the situation to “old cattle barons clearing people off land,” raising questions about whether such disasters might serve a bigger purpose, like preparing land for high-density housing. While he admitted that his thoughts might sound “crazy,” he urged people to consider whether there could be ulterior motives behind the fires.

His comments triggered a strong reaction on social media. Critics labeled him as out of touch and accused him of spreading harmful conspiracy theories. One person tweeted, “Conspiracy theories are his last claim to fame,” while another wrote, “While people are fighting fires, he’s busy lighting his own.”

However, others found his views thought-provoking, with some pointing out that discussions about housing plans in fire-affected areas had already been circulating. Ingraham even noted that Gibson’s remarks about water mismanagement and urban planning echoed similar concerns raised by residents.

His comments may have divided opinions, but they have also brought attention to deeper issues surrounding disasters and urban development.
