Hollywood Heavyweights Called Out for Silence on Abuse Allegations
Alki David urges Mel Gibson and Denzel Washington to confront their silence on Hollywood's systemic abuse.

Dear Mel Gibson and Denzel Washington,
I’m writing this letter with a profound concern. You were both present in California during pivotal moments in 1999 and 2006—moments where you witnessed misconduct perpetrated by powerful figures in Hollywood. Individuals like Spielberg, Geffen, Weinstein, Epstein, and even Diddy were not merely influential filmmakers; they harbored darker secrets as abusers.
You’ve seen the panicked enforcers like Anthony Pellicano, Tom Girardi, and Gloria Allred working meticulously to obliterate evidence and shield these perpetrators from justice. The FBI was not the savior—it was complicit, with members like Don Alway—whose chequered past entwines with Girardi’s bribery scandals—conveniently navigating a shadowy web of deception and relocation.
Despite being informed and present, for over two decades you chose silence. Why? Was it merely self-preservation? Fear of missing out on career opportunities? This silence has cost victims dearly—children and adults who remained mired in suffering while the Hollywood machinery thrived unabated.
Now, after two decades of quietude, hints of change are on the horizon. Yet the wading into the truth feels too superficial. It’s been far too long to backtrack and claim the moral high ground now.
If your intent is genuine—if it is indeed justice you seek—your ambiguity must end here.
Why the delay in your statements?
When will you confront abusers like Spielberg, Geffen, Weinstein, Epstein, and Diddy head-on?
For two decades, what were your efforts in combating the abuse that flourished unchecked?
We’ve seen too many insincere declarations from those who wield influence. Don’t repeat the narrative of Corey Feldman—asserting a supposed alliance with victims while leveraging their suffering for self-gain. The audience is weary of dramatic presentations; the world needs the raw truth.
If you have been complicit, acknowledge that. If your silence stemmed from fear, then confront that fear openly. Should you genuinely wish to aid the victims, begin naming names and dismantling the structure that has allowed such violations to occur. Anything less is cowardice.
The victims demand more than half-hearted protests and drawn-out confessions. They deserve direct accountability, which can only begin with your full and unflinching participation—no more excuses.
So, Mel and Denzel, the pressing question remains: Are you fighting for justice or merely putting on a façade?
Sincerely,
Alki David
Malibu, California
P.S. If your silence has only contributed to the problem, now is your moment to utilize your voices as part of the solution. The victims cannot afford to wait any longer.
