(FAITHWIRE) -- Less than 24 hours after announcing Mel Gibson would co-grand marshal its 2023 Mardi Gras parade, the Krewe of Endymion rescinded its invitation to the Hollywood star on Sunday.
“The Krewe of Endymion has received significant feedback about our grand marshal announcement,” said Dan Kelly, president of the krewe, a group that organizes parades for Mardi Gras, according to WVUE-TV. “Some of this commentary included threats that cause us great concern.”

“In the best interest of the safety of our riders, special guests, and everyone that welcomes us on the streets,” he continued, “Mel Gibson will not ride as a co-grand marshal for our 2023 parade.”
The post Mel Gibson hired, then immediately fired, as Mardi Gras grand marshal appeared first on WND.
