HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Mel Gibson has been meeting with his former neighbor Britney Spears on a regular basis, a source tells People magazine.
“Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible,” the source revealed to People.
“There’s just a handful of people in the world who understand the kind of intense attention that Britney goes through, and how to raise a family with some semblance of privacy and how to keep one’s family intact and out of the limelight,” the source adds.
“There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It’s simply an act of human kindness — one neighbor reaching out to the other.”
Gibson, 52, and Spears, 26, met for a two-hour group dinner Saturday evening at Russian restaurant Romanov in Studio City.
The two stars, who have both faced public scrutiny in recent years, were once neighbors in an exclusive Malibu community.
