Mel Gibson, who lost his £12 million Malibu home in the LA wildfires, shared a controversial theory suggesting the fires could have been “commissioned” to clear valuable land. He speculated that the fires were set deliberately, pointing to,
the lack of water, favorable wind conditions, and the possibility, of individuals being “commissioned” to start the fires. Gibson questioned whether the fires were intentional, adding that California’s handling of water resources seemed odd. His comments sparked backlash, with critics accusing him of promoting conspiracy theories.
