Mel Gibson
stands accused of fraud, breach of contract and unfair business practices in a lawsuit filed by the co-screenwriter of his religious epic
The Passion of the Christ
.
Benedict Fitzgerald
accuses
Gibson
, who directed the controversial 2004 film, of engaging in a "chronic and conspiratorial pattern of deceit" by telling the writer he was working on a project with a budget of between $4 million and $7 million.
Fitzgerald
claims he was only paid $75,000 and that he had to borrow $200,000 from
Gibson
to cover expenses, reports People.com.
The Passion of the Christ
went on to gross an estimated $600 million worldwide.
The lawsuit, filed on Monday, reads: "
Gibson
preyed monetarily on
Ben
, taking advantage of his unbridled enthusiasm for the project and with full cognizance of
Ben
's fundamental personal and spiritual beliefs."
