So...umm...How about that Mel Gibson?

I don't think any of us thought he was particularly classy :-/

Besides, how reliable is TMZ anyway?

Lemme guess....he's gonna blame it on booze?

Don't knock TMZ, they are pretty reliable.

Yeah, TMZ is usually pretty legit. They were the first ones to report MJ's death, weren't they?

Very reliable. When in come to celebrity news, you don't confirm news to cnn or network news, you confirm it to TMZ.

This doesn't bother me. People say dumb and bigoted things in private. It so happens she was recording him, to prove that he was violent and threatening her, and caught him being dumb and bigoted.

More importantly, he allegedly has beaten her including knocking her tooth out and giving her a concussion. However, the media is letting his violence be overshadowed by his saying n*gger. I guess that's what gets the public's attention in this racially charged society.

Media experts are saying that his career is done. If so, that should be about his alleged domestic violence as much as, if not more than, his use of racial slurs (including his drunk Jewish tirade a few years ago). I wouldn't boycott Gibson because he said n*gger. I probably won't remember that. But, I would remember and boycott him if it is proven that he is an abuser. Then again, I'm one of the people who doesn't care about people's prejudices and bigotry--and I believe a lot more has to happen than saying n*gger for someone to be racist.

At this point, at least, I think it's about the words on the tape because that's what got leaked against a judge's gag order. I don't disagree with you in general, but we'll see what happens next.

I know...the mysterious leak. LOL.

Rant/

Some of the news shows have included his alleged abuse in their stories after they discuss his n*gger comment. And the n*gger comment is still the headliner. How can the alleged violence be a sidebar even if it is still alleged? "Alert! Mel Gibson said n*gger!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alert! And...oh yeah...by the way...if anyone cares...if you're still watching/reading/listening...sidebar...he may've beaten her and knocked her tooth out."

I always found Gibson handsome and still do. :)

He hasn't aged well and substance abuse does that.

I've boycotted him ever since his anti Semetic rant. This just adds fuel to my dislike of him

Not to mention you are going to hell if you aren't Roman Catholic. He likes a very very small group of people it seems.

Hey, he's one of those really conservative Catholics who thinks that Vatican 2 was a crazy thing the kids did in the 60s. He's a Latin Mass sort. Among other things.

A few wafers short of a Mass is what I'm saying.

Jill, I too have boycotted him since his rant. I see no reason to support someone who hates me.
