MEL GIBSON ALSO A HOMOPHOBE
In the wake of the release of tapes of Mel Gibson’s racist and misogynist rants, the actor’s previous comments confirm that he’s also a homophobe.
Gibson (54), who is being investigated for domestic violence, has been exposed in audio tapes in which he admits to hitting his Russian girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
In a tape released by RadarOnline.com, an out of control Gibson tells her “you deserved it”, after Grigorieva is heard confronting him about hitting her and breaking her teeth.
Gibson is also heard making death threats. “You need a f*cking bat in the side of the head.” he says to Grigorieva. He later screams: “Threaten ya? I’ll put you in a f *ckin rose garden you c*nt!”
The Academy Award wining director and actor has also been recorded in an earlier tape using ‘the N-word’ and previously admitted making anti-Semitic slurs when he was arrested for drunken driving in 2006.
The website Gawker has now posted past comments by the Braveheart star in which he made his feelings about gays clear.
“They take it up the ass. [laughs, stands up, bends over, points to anus] This is only for taking a shit,” he told Spanish newspaper El Pais in 1991.
He later added: “With this look, who’s going to think I’m gay? I don’t lend myself to that type of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?”
In 1995, he responded to Playboy about calls for him to apologise to LGBT people for his comments by saying, “I’ll apologise when hell freezes over. They can fuck off,” but in 1999 he said that he had been drinking at the time and shouldn’t have said what he did.
Gibson is not only facing criminal charges for the abuse of Grigorieva but could also be charged for making death threats against her. Some have questioned if his career can survive this latest scandal.
…. Why hauling up past comments he made while he was an alcoholic too. Typical of the media to kick someone when he is down.
We have all said and done things we regret when drunk, or in fits of rage.
Not that I am saying he should have hit his girlfriend, but really, even though he might be bigheaded he is still a human being with flaws like the rest of us.
Sensationalism……??
i’D STILL DO HIM!. I’d still do this guy, despite him being a real c*nt.
Consistent. The guy is frequently in the media for his racist, anti-semetic, homophobic and degrading behaviour towards a wide spectrum of people (homosexual, other races, Jews, women). This is not a matter of things being hyped. It’s a consistent thing with him. He is an idiot and I will NEVER support any of his projects ever again. He obviously has no regard or respect for gay people, amongst others. It’s pretty clear that he thinks of us as some 2nd grade types who are undeserving of respect. It’s time for him to retire.
Shame on him. I never liked his work anyway, but now I will purposefully avoid and not support any of his projects. He clearly has some issues that he needs to resolve. It’s just a pity that the public now also have to read every disgusting little detail.
I agree, I think its not right the way he is acting toward other people, but his comments about Gay people are taken out of content. He made that comment in 1991, thats 19 years ago, and has since then apoligized for it. So why is it even mentioned he hates the gays now. Dont go looking for a story wehre there isint one. He is abusing his gilrfriend, not the gays???
…. Oh, who the hell cares about this twat? He is a washed-up, booze soaked “actor” whose career is over and now he resents everyone for his failures. His comments were nineteen years ago for heavens sake. Move on. Society has (in general). Typical of the media to make a mountain out of a molehill.
