Mel Gibson was speaking to a film class about his movies at Cal State University Northridge and several members of the Mayan community came to hear the famous director. TMZ reports that after Gibson's presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.
When Estrada persisted, arguing that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist, Gibson exploded, responding, "Lady, Fuck off."
As Estrada and other members of the Mayan community left, Gibson yelled after them, "Make your own movie!"
