Mel Gibson's rants.

[ShadeofViolet]

I dont think there is another toping about this but has anyone else heard Mel Gibson's rants against the mother of his baby.

here

He has completely destroyed his career with this, surely? What a horrible human being.

Yeah, i read it in the paper. He is a total loon, odious and first class wanker.

eugh. dread to think what else he's said/done that hasn't been recorded. vile man.

He's been dropped by his agent and I would htink noone in Hollywood will touch him with a bargepole. Good.
But she does look v much like Octomum, no?

News item from America:

'Mel Gibson seemed to weather the media firestorm that followed his drunk-driving arrest and anti-Semitic rant in 2006. A handful of Hollywood types called for a boycott, but Gibson?s apology tour somewhat smoothed things over. But the latest example of the actor?s bigotry?tapes of him threatening his girlfriend with awful racist and sexist taunts?is surely the final nail in the coffin. Gibson?s been dropped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor, just after his longtime agent Ed Limato died. He hasn?t been a bankable star much recently, even though peers like Bruce Willis still nab action roles. Gibson may be able to make movies under his Icon production banner, but who would consider working with Gibson worth the risk to his or her reputation? Though he may have an international audience left, and could make a movie exclusively for another continent, who in North America would bankroll it?'

Didn't he do some anti-Semitic rant at a traffic cop a couple of years ago? I vaguely remembered that so this didn't come as too much of a surprise. He sounds like a tool of the highest order.

Ah, crosspost with Earlybird...

I am not a big Mel Gibson fan at all but that tape sounds fishy to me. First of all it doesn't really sound like him to me. Second of all, the one I heard sounded badly edited so until someone says it is defo him and plays an unedited tape in full then I am going to remain dubious of the whole thing.

Although I am dubious about the tape, it is quite clear that he has had a drink problem on and off for many years now. He seriously really needs to get himself sorted right away.

Racist, anti-semitic, a misogynist.

Goodness, he is a right charmer, isn't he?
