Mel Gibson

[coccinelle]

Has anybody heard the language MG used in a phone call to his ex wife? it's atrocious. There's one actor i won't be paying money to see at the cinema!! (I came over this call by chance)

[chelle7272]

Yes I've read it, he's really vile isn't he, wish i'd known before I paid to see all those films

[carmalee]

agree 100% - have never subscribed to the belief that 'stars' deserve all the fawning they get - they are in a job because people like us pay to see the films they make - for some reason a lot of them think that makes normal laws not apply to them. He's come across as a real bully - coupled with his racist remarks a year or so ago he doesn't come out top of my list of 'people I'd like to meet'.

[piggynose]

oh so all the other actors out there are all angels then i take it, thats a relief

[chelle7272]

I don't think anyone said that did they?

[McMouse]

Why were you listening in on his phone call coccy?

[ummmm]

People lose it every now and then.

[carmalee]

oh I agree people lose it every now and then but if he did hit the baby (whatever the provocation) he deserves no sympathy at all. maybe another version will be revealed later.

[Tizzi24]

I read that his ex-wife is supporting him through all his troubles! What a stupid woman, he's a bully and a racist. I hope his career sinks without trace after all this and if it does, he's only got himself to blame.

[coccinelle]

No I don't piggynose but did you hear the language he used?? and he just went off it. And no, mcmouse I wasn't listening in; it was his ex-wife who recorded it and it's now on the net and I came across it quite by accident. Not the kind of thing you'd like children to listen to...

[dothawkes31]

she's a scheming bitch if i evver saw one, what a cow. she'll sell it all for millions and think she's clever, what a total headcase she is. he should sue her and let her rot

[coccinelle]

I agree with you dot! she recorded it for a reason but this doesn't take away his ferocious behaviour and language!

[Mattk]

the true mel started to show his face at the time of the passion of christ and hes got worse from there!

[jno]

[jno]

[dothawkes31]

I'm just trying to remember back in 1980 when I went to watch Mad max in cardiff whether i came out of the cinema afterwards thinking 'that guy is hot' or 'that guy is a saint and will never ever do anything wrong ever'

[piggynose]

personally i dont really give 2 fecks, an actor is an actor, what he does off camera is of no concern to me.
but if all you´ve got to do with your time is to look for dodgy taped calls put on the net by a damaged ex wife, well how sad

[ann_h]

She may well be a scheming bitch - but she also may have recorded and publicised it for her own sanity...as someone who is still struggling 2 years after leaving a man who was lovely outside and visciously abusive in private, I can see that. I only wish I'd had the opportunity to catch him on tape and play it to people.
As for any money she gets - she has spent, what, 30 years being married to him and having his 10 kids.

[merciasounds]

It wasn't his wife, it was his girlfriend who taped him. His lawyers are saying now that the tapes are fake and are spliced - but whatever the truth, nobody will touch him now in tinsel town - even if he funds things himself - I think that there's only Whoopi goldberg still backing him, she says whatever he is, he isn't a racist

[dothawkes31]

'noone will touch him in tinseltown' he needs noone he owns his own production company and several screenplays he won't starve. She'll try to make a mint out of this and go off with some other sucker soon.

[Hopkirk]

I haven't heard this outburst, but I remember his drunken anti-semitic outburst when arrested for drink driving a few years ago.

I never liked him, (since discovering 'er indoors had a major crush on him)
