PROFANITY WARNING!
I’m getting the impression that she’s very provocative.
I fail to see the racial “slur”, and I see no reason for Mel to loose a career, just because he said “they look like whores”.
The guy had it all,and we just might watch it come apart right in front of us.
Well...she says she didn’t release the tape. Who else could have? I’m probably not feeling the level of sympathy for this woman that I’m supposed to be feeling. (not excusing MG either, BTW)
Not as good as Mel’s Anti-Semitic rant slamming a Law Enforcement Officer, but not all that bad.
OMG!!!! Gibson and Alex Baldwin should rent a condo together. And then do a reality show from there.
The public should not have access to the words he said in private.
People say a lot of very hatful things, they don’t necessarily mean, when they are angry, hurt, otherwise emotionally charged or drunk.
Such statements may be offensive and wrong, but just being offensive and distasteful ~ doesn’t make them publicly owned.
Mel has significant problems in his life, but uttering the damn n-—— word, in private, is not one of them.
At the rate Mel’s going, he’ll have Obama, Clinton, and the NYTimes praising him as a champion of civil rights. If he drops the N-bomb a few more times, he’ll be right up there with Robert Byrd and his interview with Tony Snow.
Their marriage is none of my business and I don’t care what celebrities say or think about each other. But there’s little doubt that Mel Gibson is quite willing to drop racial slurs in his angry rants (which I’m sure he will be most sorry about, most apologetic, and “regret if his comments offended anyone”.
They’re people, they screw up just like the rest of us. Just stop putting them on pedestals and expecting we ought to care what they say or think - about anything. Mel Gibson is no better than any other jerk who calls his wife filthy names and refers to N-words raping her. Why should he be?
I may get blasted for this, but it seems to me that Mel has been under attack by his own demons since The Passion of the Christ came out. I just think that if you step out for God like that that Satan really wants to lambast you, destroy you and will use your own human faults, frailties, illnesses to do it. I think that’s what we’re seeing. That was one powerful film that touched a lot of people made by a flawed human being. Pray for Mel.
I’d bet Mel hasn’t hit it since the pregnancy test strip turned blue.
Ox has access to a recording studio and mixing equipment. Too late for the ‘court of public opinion’, but let’s do some forensics on the tapes, howabout it?
and maybe she didn’t ‘release’ the tapes, but it appears she knew about them and tried to extort money for them practically from the moment poor little rich anchor baby was born:

that said, Menopausal Mel should find an island for a year or 5 to relax on while he works through his hot flashes
In the audio tape, Mel does sound very cruel toward his wife. I wonder if he had been drinking too much? A shame - he is SUCH a talented man!
By the way, all: “Fake t-ts ARE real...they are just not natural, but they ARE real. And very much appreciated!
Let me get this straight — the William Morris Agency has reportedly dropped Mel Gibson as a client because he used the “N-word” in an unhinged privately recorded rant, but William Morris continues to represent the likes of P. Diddy, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, 50 Cent, and many more, who broadcast the same awful word to millions — daily, unabashedly and continually?
Gotta love Hollywood.
Take up a career in Hip-Hop, Mel — the WMA will bring you back on board in a heartbeat.
Again, Gibson said any number of extremely offensive things in his surreptitiously recorded private phone conversation with his former girl friend, including telling her that with the way she dressed she deserved to be gang raped. But the thing that got him in trouble, the thing that has all the tongues wagging, the thing that has scandalized the world, was his use of the word “niggers.” Some of the news stories even said that Gibson punched his ex-mistress in the mouth and broke her two front upper teeth. Yet in every story in which that charge has appeared, it is way down in the article, as a distant afterthought compared to the only news that really matters—his use of the “N” word. Is any further proof needed that the worst crime in liberal society—worse than disgusting invective, worse than wishing for a woman to be gang-raped, worse than punching a woman in the mouth—is for a white person to say anything discriminatory about black people?
We used to be a nation under God. Now we’re a nation under blacks.

Gibson has been attacked at every opportunity in the MSM since The Passion of the Christ.
That a person who makes his living in drama, who is intelligent enough to put together a rant and performer enough to deliver it, is front page news is more a comment on the commentators than the actor.
Add high emotion and alcohol, mix well, and serve on tape.
Small wonder people in the crosshairs of the paparazzi have such fouled up lives, when they can't so much as break wind without blowing the dust off some jerk's camera lens. There aren't many people out there who could stand such constant scrutiny, and all the good or bad ends up on the cutting room floor, it just depends on who is doing the editing and what they want to produce as a reaction from the public.
I do not condone a man hitting a woman, but as for the rest, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Observations for the thin skinned: Good, decent, hardworking black people do not travel in packs and rape people. What's left, homie? If the shoe fits...
The term "wetback" referred to the water from the Rio Grande which had not yet dried when the illegal immigrant made landfall on the U.S. side, having crossed the river in an undocumented fashion by swimming. It, too, refers to a specific group of people who by virtue of their illegal entry to this country set themselves apart. Again, if the shoe fits...
I expect before long we will have to discuss the 'legally disenfranchised' rather than talk about criminals, rapists, child molesters, and murderers--rather than hurt their feelings.
As for me, I hope they can work their problems out, mutual and personal, for the benefit of their child if for no other reason, but then there are very few I wish ill.
