Mel Gibson gets drunk, Mel Gibson speaks...
Jews trying to crucify him over it.
Hollywood Split Over Mel Gibson's Future Jul 30, 4:49 PM EST A stunned Hollywood debated the future of one of its biggest stars Sunday as a sheriff's watchdog launched an investigation into a possible cover up of a leaked report that quoted Mel Gibson unleashing a tirade of anti-Semitic remarks during a drunken driving arrest. One media expert said Gibson irreparably damaged his career with his "crazy" behavior following his arrest by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies in Malibu early Friday. Charges of anti-Semitism were also leveled against the actor-director with the release of his 2004 blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ." "It's a nuclear disaster for him," said publicist Michael Levine, who has represented Michael Jackson and Charlton Heston, among others. "I don't see how he can restore himself." The entertainment Web site TMZ posted what it said were four pages from the original arrest report, which quoted Gibson as launching an expletive-laden "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway. According to the report, in addition to threatening the arresting deputy and trying to escape, Gibson said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and asked the officer, James Mee, "Are you a Jew?" The report has not been made public, but the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that it had independently verified its authenticity. Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, would not elaborate beyond a nonspecific apology Gibson issued Saturday. Sheriff's sources also declined to comment on Gibson's alleged remarks. Studio executives, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, were divided on how Gibson's behavior would affect his career. One noted that people have short memories, including filmmakers who might want to profit from Gibson's star power. The Office of Independent Review, a department watchdog panel, has opened an investigation into whether authorities gave Gibson preferential treatment by covering up his alleged inflammatory comments, said its chief attorney, Mike Gennaco. "Assuming that the report was excised, then the question is was it done for a good reason within regulations," he said. Gibson has filmed public service announcements for Sheriff Lee Baca's relief committee dressed in a sheriff's uniform. "There is no cover-up," Baca told the Los Angeles Times. "Our job is not to (focus) on what he said. It's to establish his blood-alcohol level when he was driving and proceed with the case. Trying someone on rumor and innuendo is no way to run an investigation, at least one with integrity." Gibson said in his apology that he said "despicable" things to deputies during his arrest. "I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable," Gibson said. Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, called Gibson's apology "unremorseful and insufficient." "It's not a proper apology because it does not go to the essence of his bigotry and his anti-Semitism," he said in a statement on the organization's Web site. "We would hope that Hollywood now would realize the bigot in their midst and that they will distance themselves from this anti-Semite." This is not the first time Gibson has faced accusations of anti-Semitism. Gibson produced, directed and financed "Passion," which some Jewish leaders said cast Jews as the killers of Jesus. In a 2004 interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, Gibson said he was not anti-Semitic. "To be anti-Semitic is a sin," he said. "It's been condemned by one Papal Council after another. To be anti-Semitic is to be un-Christian, and I'm not." Days before "Passion" was released, Gibson's father Hutton Gibson was quoted saying the Holocaust was mostly "fiction." The younger Gibson has said that he will not speak against his father. Gibson, 50, was arrested after deputies stopped his 2006 Lexus LS 430 for speeding at 2:36 a.m. Friday. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said deputies clocked him doing 87 mph in a 45 mph zone. A breath test indicated Gibson's blood-alcohol level was 0.12 percent, Whitmore said. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. Gibson posted $5,000 bail and was released hours later. In his statement, Gibson also said he has struggled with alcoholism and had taken steps "to ensure my return to health." He won a best-director Oscar for 1995's "Braveheart." He also starred in the "Lethal Weapon" and "Mad Max" films, "What Women Want" and "The Man Without a Face," among other films. http://www.movies.msn.com/news/artic...29037>1=7701 ### I guess time will tell (maybe) what happened and what was said, I just "love" how people speculate what he said and also state that his apology isn't good enough... HELLO! How the fuck would you know, since what he said isn't (yet) really known. I for one don't give a shit, about this story. If Mel Gibson makes a good movie and I like it, fine, if it sucks then it sucks, I'm not going to care that he called 'Jews' conspirators and the like. |

I didn't hate him after making What Women Want so I can't be angry at him for this.

I wonder if he was trying to bet the police officer that he can dislocate and pop his shoulder back in place or something.

I like this from Gibson. He's going a bit mad, a bit Mad Max you might say. If anything this makes me like him more.

You can bad mouth blacks, Arabs, gays, the disabled, so on and so forth, but if you bad mouth the Jews, you will never hear the end of it.

It amazes me how this was the top story on every news broadcast yesterday, and the 2nd spot on every news cast today. For fuck sakes, do people have nothing better to do? Is it really that interesting to hear about Mel Gibson being drunk and acting like an ass? It's nothing special, I'm sure atleast 3 billion other people in the world have done it.

Yesterday, my friend got direct TV installed. Well, the sat company guys fucked up his setup, so he called me over to give him a hand. When we were checking out to make sure everything was hooked up, they had Marsha Clark (I don't know which spelling she uses) on TV bitching about how celebrities like Gibson get a free pass. ...Yeah, bitch. The only reason they asked you on the show for your expert opinion was because of your role in the OJ Simpson trial. |

I dunno though, from my experiences alcohol acts more as a truth serum than anything else.

It also ruins your inhibitions.
Means that you might say some stuff just to be offensive. Especially since it makes you feel so powerful. You're right, it's more likely to act like truth serum, make you say shit you've not the balls to say otherwise especially, but that's not all it does. And I don't know. I don't much care, either. I'm just fucking laughing at the fact that this was headline news on a day where Israel was at war with Hezbollah, and which was top on the RSS feed on CNN? That and Pam Anderson or some other blonde bimbo's wedding. I'm just saying, Alcohol doesn't always make you spout your inner feelings. We'll never know what was going on in Gibson's head, and I doubt we'll hear anything else like this. Though from now on, the media will interpret everything he says in a harsh fashion. |

If Gibson was seriously tanked he probably woulda said whatever he said without even remotely thinking of or caring for the consequences, as KK said people are deliberately troublesome and offensive when they're drunk and pissed off at something.
Either way comparing the Jews and Blacks in America is a bit of an iffy one when considering the income brackets both tend to fall into, and the extreme oppression Blacks have felt in the US for hundreds of years, compared to the same deal the Irish and Italians got 100 years ago for the Jews. The Jews are along with the Muslims and Christian-right are generally the most reactionary of groups anyway so you can't take much they say seriously ![]() |

Bunch of Hollywood types are roasting him the last couple days. I say fuck them. I also hope those that do are very careful from this point forward as they may find themselves in a situation where they seek forgiveness. CNN is still going on about it. Best I guess to cut stories on Iraq or Afghanistan and get some airtime on drunken celebs.
