So now he says the reason why he left his first wife. What he thought he had in common with Oksana God only knows?
keep in mind, she knew she was taping, and most likely knew how to push his buttons to get him to that point, not that it is excusable.
does the tape begin with the phone ringing and her answering it,
or could there have been a longer conversation before where she said inflammatory things to ratchet it up, to get him to that point?
again, not that his behavior is excusable
there was a time when I could have been antagonize to a point, that I might say things I would regret,
anymore, I just put the breaks on and walk away.
Polanski fucked a 13 year old, plain and simple. Whether or not she wants to make a thing of it now is irrelevant, it was/is wrong and illegal, end of story. Whether or not fans can find a way to justify that and still enjoy his work is up to them, I guess. I can't. Woody Allen is more of a grey area to me - she was of age (right? Correct me if I'm wrong) and they're still married now, so there must have been something genuine there. As for Mel, I hope his career is over. Time will tell, but I can't imagine many flocking to worship him or his work.
"They take it up the ass. [laughs, stands up, bends over, points to anus] This is only for taking a shit." —to Spanish newspaper El Pais when asked what he thinks of gays, in 1991.
"With this look, who's going to think I'm gay? I don't lend myself to that type of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?" —from the El Pais interview.
"I'll apologize when hell freezes over. They can fuck off." —to Playboy in 1995, about whether he'd issue an apology to gays and lesbians, as GLAAD recommended.

He was the lead in arguably the greatest action movie of all time: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Not to mention Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Apocalypto, etc. He's a competent director and one of the last true Hollywood movie stars.Not only because I dislike him and his bigotry, but his movies suck. Why has Hollywood kissed his butt so much?
The more I think about it, I realize it's not so much being able to separate the artist from the work, but about making the decision that I'm not going to support that artist's work anymore.
Not that me not ever giving him another dime is going to mean anything to him, but it means something to me.

So Whoopi saying "I'm a friend of Mel's, he's not racist" is the equivalent of a racist crying "I can't be racist! My best friend is black!!!!"
In conclusion: Mel Gibson is a prick, and I can live just fine with never getting around to seeing Braveheart.

He's obviously an absolute dick in real life but I'm a firm believer that you should love the art, not the artist, so what he does in his private life (positive or negative) has no bearing on my enjoyment of his films.
I can't believe the posts in this thread that are quasi-defending Roman Polanski. Mel Gibson is certainly a huge douchebag from what we've learned in recent years, but he is way higher on the food chain of humanity than Roman Polanski will ever be. So Polanski hasn't continually raped 13 yr olds for the past 30 years, so he's not so bad? Give me a break. Dude should have been locked up years ago, and still should be locked up.
Whoopi defended Polanski too, remember it wasn't "rape rape". So I don't give her opinion any weight whatsoever and wouldn't even bother watching that clip. She really enjoys playing devil's advocate and that she's holier than thou for giving everyone the benefit of the doubt to an extreme. She's just a superior human
Oh, definitely. I'm only commenting on that little snippet of The View. If they talked about Mel's other little problems (like, ohhhhh, spousal abuse and making death threats) .... ugh, I don't even want to see/hear it.
I can only take about 1:30 of The View in one sitting. Less time if Elisabeth Hasselbeck iswhiningtalking.
Check out the thread in FYM-on second thought, don't
I agree with you
