Yikes! Mel Gibson caught on tape and dropped from agency

[oujala]

Way to drama queen it up. You know me, "Beat women all the time" is my motto. Get real. No point in having an adult discussion about things.

And honestly, it was my fault for even going down that path. Paragraphs on the internet aren't real conversations, so I shouldn't have went in that direction.

 

[OldKen]

Did he hit his wife?

Sounds to me like he was provoked into anger about her provocative dressing. SHE was recording it and sounds like an innocent lil angel.

Who knows what things she had said to him in the days leading up to this...

NO ONE should hit or verbally abuse a woman... but to me this sounds like she is setting him up to get money.

If someone treats you bad...

LEAVE.

Who didn't know Mel was frakking crazy???

SERIOUSLY.

Ever wonder why most of his characters are a bit crazy? Why Riggs or William Wallace's crazyness was soo convincing?

Cause the man is a frakking nutjob. :wacko

What are we arguing about again? :angel

I'll wager a bet that she used his child support money to buy them, too - typical gold-digging skank.

But if I were Mel, I would have worked on my delivery, lol.

The thing about Mel - he's a chick magnet, and they go in *KNOWING* what a sleezebucket the man is, how much racist, Antisemitic, substance abuse, rage issues, misogynistic baggage he's carrying, but you know what? They want the red carpet premiers, the houses, the cars, the Chanel purses, the spotlight, the magazine covers, the "Us" feature on what they wear and where to buy it, and - oh yes - they want the Golden Parachute of child support once they "forget" to stay on the pill...

So while I don't condone his drunken rant, his racism, his anger issues, etc., he's living the life of many celebrities who can never have real relationships, because everyone wants a piece of him, and he can never trust how they feel about him.

I wouldn't trade ANYTHING to be Mel Gibson, Tiger Woods, Jesse James, or any other rich celeb - see how it all ends...

P.S. I've raided my hotel room bar a bit tonight, if I sound feistier than usual :$

And Mel had a wife and family that he dumped to run around with skanks. He's a disappointment on so many levels and he brought this on himself betraying his wife of a lifetime and children to feed in to it. He made his bed now he can burn in it.

Today on my local radio station, they played the recording, with a ton of bleeps in it, but Mel admits to punching his ex in the face while she was holding the baby and said she deserved it. Another time in the recording he said she belonged under a bed of roses. The recording was about 8 minutes long and Mel just got more and more angery as he went on. Only at the end of the recording did she start to raise her voice, but Mel kept cutting her off.

Look I don't care about anything else between them, but you don't punch the mother of your child while she is holding the baby and you don't say she belongs under a bed of roses. There are laws against this sort of stuff and I think those recordings were made as evidence of the violence. However turning those tapes over to the public, instead of going through her lawyer or the police, seems odd to me. The court of public opinnion won't stop Mel from hitting her again if he gets mad enough.

I think the recording was a set up... but I take issue with events earlier where she had to go to the dentists twice, to get her teeth fixed when he clocked her in the mouth. NAme calling aside, racial slurs aside.... beating your girlfriend or wife, especially when she holds a baby in her arms at the time is WRONG. That is where my issue lies. His responce to hitting her..... "well, you deserved it". There is no time a woman ever deserves a man to hit her.

 

[Treadwell]

In the (very short) clip I heard of the recording, SHE is the one who says he hit her while holding the baby. Not him. He doesn't deny it, but he doesn't really admit it, either. These things make a difference in court.

Maybe he admits it elsewhere in the recording?

 

[Art Andrews]

I am probably just going to get myself in trouble here as someone will surely take this the wrong way and somehow think I am misogynistic, but I have a question for those who are appalled that Mel Gibson would speak this way to a WOMAN. I would be willing to believe that everyone who said that believes women are equal to men and not lesser beings... and if so, then why would it matter that it was a woman Mel was verbally abusing? Why are you appalled and offended that he would treat a woman this way? Would you feel differently if he said these things to a man, and if so, does that not imply you don't feel equally about the rights of men and women, but favor one over the other?

No, while he in a round about way admits it, He never really says it.....but, the dentist that fixed her teeth has now come forward and said that she told him "mel did it" back when he fixed them. Remember, this was back when she was still with Mel, not trying to get him in trouble. He said he just didn't want to come forward and interfere.

I feel sorry for anybody who has heard or said worse than this. If you've said worse than this in the heat of anger, get some help. I've never hit a woman in the face, never screamed at anybody so furiously that I ran out of breath, and I certainly have never told anyone I was capable of murdering them and burying them in the garden. Especially some one I care about, or once cared about.

Normal, decent, well adjusted people do NOT behave this way, and fame is no excuse, no reason, no justification for any of this.

I don't care if she's a gold digger. I don't care if she has fake boobs. I don't care if she's pushing his buttons. Get a grip people, this is beyond reprehensible. This is abuse on a massive scale.

Listen to him. The man is sick in the head.

 

[Treadwell]

Well, just because she said it to someone else as well doesn't make it any more credible. It's still just her own claim.
(Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it's true.)

I wondered the same thing.
He shouldn't say these things period. Doesn't matter to whom.

Like I said, I can put the rant and verbal abusing aside..... he is angry and all the threats and crap are probably just empty words that he really does not plan to do. And yes, to a man or woman, we should just say, so what... he is angy. But... if he did smack her in the mouth in the past as it is coming out, and he did knock some teeth out... I would take the threats of "coming over to your place if you hang up", "I'll bury you in the Rose Garden" and "you need a baseball bat to the side of your head", VERY SERIOUSLY. He might be the next O.J. You just never know!!

This is true.... and since these tapes are being used in court for the divorce, I am sure they will sort this out. But from what I have seen on the news, his lawyers are trying to block the tapes.... not saying that "it is not him" or "the facts are not ture" or even "she is lying on the tapes", they are trying to block them from use and from release. That sounds like guilt to me. Sounds like they don't want the truth to get out. But I could be wrong.

 

[OldKen]

Oh...

I musta missed the part where he hit her.

Mel Gibson = FAIL.

I've been screwed over and hurt by a few women in my time. I've been angered. I've done and said things I'm not proud of.

But a man that hits his wife?

F-him.

I hope he loses everything.

I mean... you got a prob with your girl Mel? She dresses like a ho? Well then DUMP HER AND GO FIND A NEW ONE!!! YOU ARE A RICH MOVIE STAR! Or you could act like ignorant trailer trash and beat your wife like you can do whatever cause your braveheart!

Seriously.

I've been dealing with some serious crap the last few days involving a beautiful woman and my ******* friend that really doesn't deserve her. He hasn't hit her or anything... but it's bad. May start a thread on it cause I may need advice. (it's way more odd than what you would imagine)

Anyway, after dealing with that the last day or so and seeing this first thing on line... I just hate people sometimes.

End rant.

 

[Dave Ward]

It's pretty blatant listening to the tape that she was setting him up, but she certainly did get more material than she'd expected...

If you look at it though, she's asking questions like, remember that time when you did X, in the hope that he'll concur on tape that those things happened. I've seen worse "stings" from spouses, too...you just never know.

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

The only thing that gets me is what OldKen posted; She was playing the role of angel in this whole thing to a tee. Who knows what buttons she had pushed to drive him to this point.

As far as him beating on her goes, he should have spent time in jail. That's the law here. The Primary Aggressor will be in jail before the night is over.

 

[propsculptor]

I completely agree! I have a friend who used to work with Mel on a daily basis in movies and I heard he was such a Family-oriented, Strong Catholic, and all around funny guy!

After listening to both Audio tapes I couldn't believe that this is the same guy!

I'm also wondering IF he's a really Mean Drunk, I don't think a sober person would be making threats and going on like he did on the tapes.

Either way...there is no excuse for his actions...

Agreed. She set him up for sure. She wanted to get on tape, something/anything... and as most spouses/girlfriends know how to do :lol.... she pushed the right buttons. But what he says should be his business and between them. We have all said crap we are not proud of, we are just lucky it is confined to our private lives. But hitting a woman??? W_R_O_N_G!!

 

[Moviefreak]

what I find humorous about his rant is, that what he is slamming her about: Fake boobs, provacative dressing, slutty demeanor, etc... These are probably the EXACT qualities that first attracted him to her. He is an older man, who is probably getting a little self conscious about his age and looks. HE stroked his ego by getting a young hot big breasted beauty, and now he takes issue with it.

Especially since he left his wife for this bim.
