Hollywood star Mel Gibson has complied with the terms of his probation following an arrest for drink-driving last year which saw him unleash an anti-Semitic tirade, a court heard today.
At a brief hearing in Malibu, Gibson's lawyers provided documentation showing that the 51-year-old Oscar-winning director of Braveheart had regularly attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings since his arrest.
Gibson was arrested in July last year after being caught speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu while drunk.
It later emerged he had made a string of anti-Semitic and sexist remarks to police officers during his arrest.
He pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence and was given three years probation, ordered to pay $US1400 in fines and told to attend AA meetings for four-and-a-half months.
Gibson, who did not appear in court for today's progress hearing, has made a series of public apologies for the remarks.
Judge Lawrence Mira said Gibson must attend court for his next hearing scheduled for February 15.
