A new report surfaces by the hour that Mel Gibson has attacked a fan during a night out partying at a club in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 28. Hollyscoop claims the actor was seen arriving at Playhouse to celebrate the venue's grand opening party with the companion of pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and a group of people.

Ya know, I really like Mel. But I begin to think he is a tortured soul.

[libh8er]

I bet “the Jews” provoked him.

[thefactor]

hmmm, let's bring my pregnant GF to a club opening in LA. and i'll get hammered.

sounds like a plan. what could go wrong?

[FreedomFerret]

Proving yet again, fame and fortune are the bane of happiness.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Mel is getting to be as crazy as Russell Crowe, but he still has a way to go.

[Owl_Eagle]

Yikes!

That could’ve been me!

I'm in the Mel Gibson Fan Club.

[Clemenza]

What do you expect from a adulterous creep from Hollyweird who set up his own Church and made himself Pope?

Talented filmmaker (see Apocalypto), but a very strange man.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Reporter/paparazzi posing as fan.

Would need mores facts to comment.

>> pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and a group of people

Ah, us guys really love that free sex stuff. And the “ladies” let us get away with it. Dumb.

>> tortured soul

Despite being a “Catholic”, he has cherry picked his own priest and has his own church. Wonder what the Padre has to say about this?

[Doug TX]

Maybe it was self defense?

Sensationalism sells and we all know how the media strives for accuracy.........

[Welcome2thejungle]

It’s hard to believe he was behind the Passion given all the Commandments he seems to be breaking.

[the invisib1e hand]

It would have been one thing if he'd just attacked him. But to reportedly attack him, that's unacceptable.

[LibertarianLiz]

I don't know. I've always like Mel, so I find this whole thing with his wife and pregnant girlfriend, etc. to be just very sad.

I do not get pleasure watching a human being self-destruct in public.

[CharlesWayneCT]

According to the story, Mel was out with his girlfriend, and a female came and took pictures of them. The nightclub took the camera and deleted the pictures, and sent the female away. So the female sent a male friend down to take pictures, and when Mel saw him taking pictures, Mel attacked him.

That sounds like a not altogether unreasonable response.

[TheThirdRuffian]

He makes money off of being famous; he has to pay the price.

This was a public place, not his house or somesuch.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[theFIRMbss]

This woman cost Mel
five hundred thousand dollars.
(Divorce.) Mel is weird.

[MikeWUSAF]

Der Führer was furious!

[Bratch]

Maybe it was self defense?

More like alcoholism.

[Kimmers]

I think Mel is a talented man but he seems to be in a downward spiral....there is something pathetic about an old fart still out partying and particularly with a young preggo thing at his arm.....

[Deb]

She needs to step away from the plastic surgery.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Not quite “public”, the club was privately owned, but open to the public; the club apparently had the right to take the girl’s camera and erase the pictures. Gibson should have let the club handle the picture-takers.

[nuconvert]

A fan? Very misleading headline. According to the story.....

“Inside the hot spot, Mel and his companion sat on the VIP booth. It was during the time that a reporter of Life and Style magazine posing as a fan tried to snap a picture of him and Oksana. His security quickly took the camera from the unidentified female reporter and deleted the pictures.

However, she didn’t give up that easily and sent her male friend to take another picture of Mel and his entourage. His action drew Mel mad that he immediately “stepped in and attacked the clubgoer because he was fed up with everyone trying to snap a photo of him partying.” Hollyscoop quoted its source as stating, “Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt.”

That’s puts a very different light on what happened and who was involved.

[Richard Kimball]

I’ll bet the divorce cost him a lot more than $500,000. He knocked down hundreds of millions from the Passion, and was very well off before that.

[sarasota]

Mel’s wife got far more than half a million. Believe the number is somewhere in the millions. (And I’m not sure there was a pre-nup.)

[Clara Lou]

I think the bane of Mel’s happiness is a lot more deeply rooted than fame and fortune.

[DogBarkTree]

NOT GUILTY!

Cops Call BS on Gibson ‘Victim’

Posted Jul 30th 2009 9:50AM by TMZ Staff

Law enforcement sources tell us the man who filed a battery claim against Mel Gibson is making the story up and no criminal charges will be pursued.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I’ll say.

[B-Chan]

For a $500,000 whore, she's not particularly attractive. I can only speculate that she must be a freaking artist in the sack.

[theFIRMbss]

>Mel’s wife got far more than half a million

Yes! I meant to say
half a billion! Five hundred
million divorce bucks!

If you're gonna go
that route, annoy half your fans,
lose half your money,

why would a guy go
that route with a non-looker,
non-singer "singer?"

[Pessimist]

Read the article. It wasn’t a “fan” it was paparazzi, and they were laready warned once.

[theFIRMbss]

>Yes! I meant to say half a billion! Five hundred million divorce bucks!

Mel Gibson's billion-dollar divorce: How bad will it be for him?

It’s a billion-dollar divorce!" says celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder.

Yesterday’s headlines that Mel Gibson, 53 and his wife Robyn Moore, also 53, were filing for divorce after 28 years of marriage has now been eclipsed by a handful of thornier follow-up questions. Namely, how much will the split cost the A-lister? How will it affect his reputation? Will it jeopardize the projects he has in development? And perhaps, most tantalizing of all, will it be the costliest celebrity divorce ever?

In short, the answers are: lots, remains to be seen, not likely, and almost certainly yes.

With no indication that the couple had hammered out a prenuptial agreement before their 1980 wedding, Gibson’s low-profile wife is now legally entitled to half of everything he’s earned over their nearly-three decades together, according to Felder, which could translate into roughly $500 million. ...

[BertWheeler]

I always suspected Mel didn’t like the Jews, but now he’s attacking fans too? This guy better start working on his people skills.

[Scotswife]

“hmmm, let’s bring my pregnant GF to a club opening in LA. and i’ll get hammered.
sounds like a plan. what could go wrong?”

And then get up Sunday morning and attend mass at the church I built myself because I’m more catholic than the pope- with children who I raised under strict religious rules.

I’m sure it’ll have no affect on them whatsoever.

[Seruzawa]

Sad to watch Mel meltdown. Still he’s no worse than most of those rotten dirtbags. At least he’s nice to the people on set and not a complete @sshole like Alec Baldwin and similar creeps.

[Tax-chick]

You’re fired up today
several Mel Gibson haiku
in a few minutes

[Tax-chick]

I’m sure that’s what he’s telling himself.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

From the picture it appears that she put roses on Mel’s piano...

...as well as tulips on his organ.

[takes deep breath, exhales]
It's the money thing, you know?
To lose so much cash

for this? I mean look
at my home page. Most of them
sing. If you're gonna

middle age crazy
for half a billion dollars
then do it right. Geesh!

[johnfchick]

The police have said that he didn’t do it, the person made up the story.

[johnfchick]

The police have said that the ‘victim’ made up the story and that Gibson couldn’t have possibly touched the guy.

[LibertarianLiz]

Pre-nup? I'm pretty sure he met his wife when he was still a struggling actor in Australia. They have been married for something like 28 years. At that point, I'm pretty sure they were'nt thinking about pre-nups.

However, I agree that his wife had to have gotten more than 500,000. Double-digit millions would be my guess, and considering his prior (and apparently current) drinking and womanizing, plus (how many) kids, she earned every penny.

[ansel12]

You aren’t reading the posts are you?

[BertWheeler]

Sorry, my post was meant as humor.

[spectre]

Mel DOES need to work on his people skills..

[Antoninus]

Satan's really got his claws deep in Mel.

Pray for him.

[Antoninus]

Despite being a “Catholic”, he has cherry picked his own priest and has his own church. Wonder what the Padre has to say about this?

I don't think Mel is going to church much anymore. He's done a complete lifestyle flip. Very sad.
