Can Mel Gibson really be anymore unlikable? Its almost like he’s deliberately trying to make it so that his fan base drops even lower than its already at. For the past week now news reports regarding an outbust of profanities Gibson unleashed on Oksana Grigorieva, his ex-girlfriend and mother of their 8-month old daughter, have been circulating around, shocking everyone with his incredibly vulgar and hateful use of language, including “the N word” and saying she looks like “a frickin pig in heat” along with countless other pleasantries…
“You go around sashaying in your tight clothes. I won’t stand for that anymore,” Gibson tells his ex. And believe me, it gets much, much worse. Before now, these comments were heard only from a newscaster or read online. Now, the tape has been released, showing the world just how off his rocker the Braveheart star really is. In a part of the argument that has not yet been released online, he even goes on to say: “I am going to come and burn the f**king house down… but you will blow me first.” In 2006, Gibson was pulled over for speeding, and then arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. While the cop was handcuffing him, Gibson became extremely beligerant and made some anti-semetic comments (to a jewish cop, might I add), marking the beginning of his downfall. Now he’s at it again with the racist remarks. I’ve refused to see a Mel Gibson movie since his anti-semetic rant in 2006, and to me, this tape just further proves that he has no remorse, and is really just a bad guy. Listen to it for yourselves:
