It it understood that the Lethal Weapon star paced back and forth, angrily telling the churchgoers that "he would not stand by and be judged and scrutinised".

"Mel got up on this stage - the altar - and went off," the insider added. "He tried to intimidate the parishioners by staring at everyone with his angry eyes. [He] even threatened to shut down the church if people kept gossiping about him.

"He created this mess, and now he’s trying to control it."

Gibson, 53, divorced his wife Robyn after 28 years of marriage in April. His current girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is expecting their first child.
