Is Mel Gibson's Career Over?

[Jana]

Is this the nail in the coffin for his career, which was hurt by this last tirade, or can his talent survive
this?

"In one of the most explosive, racist and vile outbursts by a celebrity ever caught on tape, Mel Gibson told the mother of his love child that the way she was dressed would get her "raped by a pack of n***ers," RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
It's a shocking and blockbuster development in the couple's bitter legal battle, and Mel's disgusting words are on audio tape. His racist, misogynist statement is one of the secrets lurking in his war with his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
RadarOnline.com has heard the tape, which also includes Mel telling Oksana he will burn down her home.

Drunken Mel previously shocked the world with his anti-Semetic comments when busted for DUI. Now, the new racist outburst has taken the Oscar winner to an even deeper low.
His outburst came during a series of explosive arguments with Oksana, mother of his infant daughter Lucia. They have been battling in court, with documents under seal, for the past several weeks.

And there is more than one disgusting outburst from Mel. RadarOnline.com has listened to the hate-fuelled rants the Braveheart star unleashed during fights with Oksana as their relationship unraveled."You're an embarrassment to me," Mel tells her at one point.
"You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault."
Mel's attorney told RadarOnline.com that he is no longer commenting on the case and said Mel's publicist is the only Mel official who will speak for him.
Mel's profane outbursts are littered with references to Oksana being a "whore" and "c**t".
In another tirade, Mel tells Oksana: "How dare you act like such a bitch when I have been so f**king nice."
He warns, "I am going to come and burn the f**king house down... but you will blow me first."
The emergence of the explicit tapes is a stunning development in the couple's bitter separation and court battle over custody of their young daughter.
RadarOnline.com first broke the story about how Mel, 54, and Oksana, 40, filed dueling restraining orders against each other under seal.
Published reports say Oksana is alleging Gibson punched her in the face twice during a fit of rage, giving her a concussion and knocking out two of her front teeth.
Gibson does not deny that they had a confrontation but has simply described it, through his lawyer, as a loud argument.
In a further outburst, Mel is heard telling her, "You're a bitch" to which Oksana insists, "I didn't do anything."
"Did so," Mel responds. The tapes do not make it clear what the couple was arguing about.
But Mel tells Oksana, "Look what you did to me... look what you are... look what every part of you is... f**king fake... f**king fake
"You are the most synthetic person... who the f*** are you?"
He also takes aim at Oksana's previous relationship with former James Bond star Timothy Dalton, with whom she has a 13-year-old son, Alexander.
A source close to the situation says Oksana claims she was forced to tape Mel after he made a series of death threats.
The source says she hopes the recordings will be admissible in any potential trial.
"Oksana's motivation for recording this was to show Mel how mean he was, and because she feared for her life," said the insider.
"She wanted to get evidence that he was dangerous and violent."
The source claims that Mel has heard two of the tapes."

Mel sure is a passionate fella. I see no crimes here. Carry on.

[AlteredDNA]

If, as quoted, "The source says she hopes the recordings will be admissible in any potential trial.", then why are they being released to the public now?

Not agreeing with what Mel said, just curious as to the motivation behind releasing them...

I just spit out a giant spoonful of Cocoa Pebbles at the comment about his wife getting raped by a pack of niggers. Good Jesus that is funny.

I think you and I are gonna be the only 2 that find some comedic value in Mel's rant. 13 is probably on his way to church to pray for him. "God, please show Mel the way, allow Joe Paterno to live another 108 years and inspire Sly to make another Rocky movie."

That guy ought to ask God to provide the ball sack he obviously forgot to give him when he was conceived.

It sounds to me as though this/these were private battles between them ...why
do we know about them?!?!

Yeah it is, and it is because Mel Gibson is supposed to be this stand up straight forward good guy...instead he is a deep shitted dark racist. Just the fact that he went to the "pack of niggers" card was funny to me. Mind you, the racism is not funny to me, it's the fact that good ol Mel is dropping race jokes that has me cracking up. I keep remember him in his priest collar from Signs, and then calling his wife a 'pig in heat' is hilarious to me.

He's not aging with grace that's for sure; I lost interest in Gibson as a star years ago. He has certainly turned into a real dumbass in the past few years.

[annpea]

This reminded me...

How do you stop a bunch of black men from raping a woman?
You throw them a basketball.


Sorry, I had to. I may burn in hell for this, but it's too f-ing funny.

yes , you might do just that.

lol...But I won't burn alone, that's for sure. I hear it's pretty crowded down there.

I heard that too. lol

"Leon Jenkins, President of the L.A. NAACP tells TMZ it's unfortunate a man "who has made his millions off of women, African-Americans and Jews harbor such racist, sexist, and anti-semitic feelings against people who have admired and respected him for decades."

Jenkins says "An apology is insufficent given his history of racism, sexism and anti-semitism." Jenkins adds, "No amount of words will change his image as an out of date and out of control racist."

Jenkins does end, however, with this: "Only a sustained period of positive acts can his legacy be redeemed."

[Michigan Girl]

No respect for this woman, at all!!
Mel puts out a good movie, I'm there!!

[Don]

Mel is great at doing what I expect from him, giving me entertainment.
Concerning what he said, it is what it is. Growing up on the east coast during the Archie Bunker era, I've heard everything you could think of from family members, classmates and co-workers. If I disowned every person that used a racial epithet, I would be in isolation.
So many other issues in the world and we get riled up over stupid shit like this. What a bunch of pussies we have become.

I'm with you...

[Voyager]

I didn't know they ran in packs anymore.

[Don]

It's not like he was in McDonald's telling a bunch of Polack jokes.

LOL - or in Taco Bell telling Mexican jokes.

Mel is not current w/the times ...it should read " You're dressed like a slut, cracker, It wouldn't surprise
me if you were raped by a gang of n*iggers or a pack of wetb*acks!! Now get outta my crib!!"
That ^^^ would've been bad!!

[Voyager]

...it should read " You're dressed like a slut, cracker, It wouldn't surprise

I love it when you talk dirty.

Did I say Rapped?!?!

[annpea]

Really it's beyond being funny, he behaves like he has some serious mental issues going on. I wonder how his first wife was able to hang in there with him for as long as she did. Maybe he should just put the bottle away and focus on getting his act together. Then again maybe having so much money and fame has made him thoughtless toward other peoples feelings; I guess he lives in the big I little U world.

My sister has said for a while he looks like he's crazy, that he doesn't seem like the old Mel in interviews. I just think he has a mean streak a mile wide that surfaces every once in a while and coupled with alcohol use brings out the racist that lurks within him. That's my official diagnosis. LOL Or maybe the guy is crazy.

His last movie was average. If he pulls out another genius movie like Braveheart, he will survive anything.

Yeah... Funny stuff.

Mel is a fucking loser. Racism is not cool.

[steveo777]

Mel is fine. We as a society are just getting too fucking sensitive. People need to chill.

Now I'm off to watch some of my back episodes of Archie Bunker.

no tears!!! I hope Mel gets help for his demons,
I hope the child does not suffer ...she knew what she was doing!!
Honky French Boy!!

It's really sad to see how he's degenerated. I think his behavior is indicative of just how far his alcoholism has progressed. Even if he is not actively using, he definitely sounds like a "dry drunk".

How can you assume to know what goes on in Mel's world -And what are you doing taking other people's inventory? That's pretty weak, IMO.

[ChildInTime]

I don't care about the racist crap, I care about how abusive he's being to his girlfriend. Everyone has arguments in relationships, but they shouldn't involve physical or verbal abuse like that. And I'm pretty sure that the main gist of the article is that he is being abusive to his significant other, not that he just so happened to use racist comments in said abuse. (And if the latter is the main gist of the article, then... wow.)
