So Mel Gibson apparently has gone on yet another rant, which is also racially inclined, he also used some harsh words which may end up getting him criminal charges pressed against him.
"Mel Gibson, under investigation for domestic violence, admits to hitting Oksana Grigorieva and TWICE threatens to kill her in an explosive new audio tape obtained and released exclusively by RadarOnline.com.
The enraged actor tells the mother of his eight-month old daughter Lucia “you deserved it” after she says that he hit her and broke her teeth"
The William Morris agency has dropped him as a client, and some say his career is over. I doubt that somehow, Mel has done a lot of rantings throughout his career and always seems to bounce back.
Some also say that Oksana just used him to further her career and for his money, which may have led to his outburst, which could very well be the case, Mel is worth almost a billion dollars.
Wonder if Mel was drunk during all this . So what do you think, has Mel gone over the top this time, or is this just typical of him. Does this change your opinion of him at all? Do you think his career is finally over?
I was going to say I can't imagine you giving up Braveheart
WARNING: THIS AUDIO CONTAINS PROFANITY
As bad as that tape is and it is really bad no excuse you have to wonder what else is there that isn't played or isn't shown. I just think there is more to this story. Again no excuse for how he behaved. I just wonder what the whole story is.
I'm sure like most media stories (sensationalism) this has been taken slightly out of context to make him look like the sole bad guy in the whole thing. As always there are always 2 sides to every story. I certainly don't agree with him hitting her and saying she deserved it, even though she may have, , or his absolutely vicious delivery in what he said, but if I were to use very little imagination on the rest of the story not being shown to us, I'd say she most likely was only going for him for his money and fame; just take a look at her, her age, and then him at his age for starters. He may have been a good looking guy when he was younger (although truthfully I've never really understood him being a sex symbol, but that's just me) but now he's a mess.
Mel sounds like he's an 'old school' guy, who wants his life partner to be respectful towards him, by not going around looking like a tramp, and attracting male attention that can and usually does add extra stress to a relationship, especially considering most marriages end up in divorce these days anyway, he's probably just trying ot protect the relationship in his own way, because he valued it, and when she evidentally in his opinion, keeps blowing him off and dressing that way despite him, over time it's gotten him to this point of being enraged.
And we all know how sneaky and evil women can be when they wanna be ... she fully planned on recording this conversation, sending it out to the internet, maybe making some big cash on whichever site will buy it up first, (which is another way of using him), and devistating his career. Who knows, maybe she's purposelly been dressing and behaving in ways she knew he hated for a while now, so she could finally make this recording, ruin him, get that divorce, make half of his cash for life in the settlement, and move on to a younger, better looking guy. I'm completely onto women and their ways nowadays ...
Btw, isn't it illegal to record someone else on the phone without thier expressed permission? Shouldn't she be punished legally for that? Shouldn't it not be admissable in court since it was obtained illegally? Nonetheless, the damage has been done publicly anyway, so in my opinion his career is over.
Oh it gets MUCH worse there is a second tape released today that make the first one sound like a sweet church lady. This one he likes no loves to call her a C**T every chance he gets and he does say some really bad things
you can hear that tape on radaronline (only place and no embed code to post it here). Here are some of the things he says:
“Threaten ya? I’ll put you in a f *ckin rose garden you c*nt! You understand that? Because I’m capable of it. You understand that?”
Oksana: What kind of a man is that? Hitting a woman when she’s holding a child in her hands? Breaking her teeth twice in the face! What kind of man is that?
Mel: Oh, you’re all angry now! You know what, you f* cking deserved it!
I would say his career is over for sure now.
I looked into the laws on recording phone calls because I know in FL (where I live you can't but some states you can).
The U.S. federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most have also extended the law to cover in-person conversations. 38 states and the D.C. permit recording telephone conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so. 12 states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. It is illegal under all jurisdictions to record calls in which one is not a party.
yea, I heard it on Howard Stern
this morning ... he really gave it to her good in that one. hahaha I love how he was all breathing hard at one point. I've been that mad at a girl in a failing relationship before, everyone probably has at some point, but I can't see ever going verbally that nuts on her,

I say we all pirate his movies so he doesn't see a dime from us (jk)
I think the man is a total pig
However I don't look to actors as my role models. I'm sure if we were a fly on most actors walls that we would stop going to the movies at all. I see the movies because I like the movies not because of the actors personal lives. So do I support him no but do I plan to stop seeing his movies no.
