Get Lost, Mel Gibson…..You are such a wife beater and moron. My family and I will NEVER see another of your movies….You are a big-time LOSER!
I fail to understand how anyone could have watched The Passion of The Christ and not have known there was something desperately wrong with this man.
This definitely reminds me of ALex Baldwin’s rant and screaming to his little girl. He, too, was panting.
Look were Baldwin is now ,new show,right on top, as if nothing happened. And all you people letting him get there. Well, he showed his true personality on the phone with his daughter! Just like Mel has shown his true personality. Very scary!!! I used to be a great fan of both. No longer.
You made some Good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree.
I think what everyone here needs to realize and consider is that we do not have the whole story. Ck out this newsbit that adds context:

All of the tapes are removed from context and possibly edited for Oksana’s case. If every family conversation was recorded, I doubt many families would fare better in their “hot” moments. I do not need to listen to anyone’s emotional breakdown or judge them on it. “Let him without sin cast the first stone.” I am presuming the stone-throwers here have never had an altercation or lover break-up. Since I don’t have that privilege, I’m going to pray for all involved and hope Lucia’s custody is decided in her best interests.
Unfortunately, albeit a fellow woman with sympathies tending in her favor originally, Oksana looks like a gold-digger who’s using celebrities like Gibson. Ck out her IMDB bio. This is all very sad since she seems talented enough to go it alone but she’s using celebrities like Gibson to produce her music.
Great article. I can¡¯t wait to hear more about your research tool. If it is as good as your other products, then you will have another winner. Your article pretty much summed up what I have been seeing too. Great to see some hard data.
