Mel Gibson Uses Racial Slur

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning director and actor Mel Gibson, who caused a media storm four years ago over an anti-Semitic statement, is again making headlines for using an apparent racial slur in an argument with his ex-girlfriend.

Celebrity news website Radaronline.com Thursday published excerpts of an audiotape of Gibson telling Oksana Grigorieva, whom "The Passion of the Christ" director is battling in court, that they way she is dressed made her look like a "pig in heat."

"If you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault," Radaronline reported Gibson as shouting at Grigorieva during an argument she taped, apparently using an expression that is deeply insulting to African Americans.

Radaronline, which published the excerpt with the three asterisks, claims to have listened to the tape. A representative for the website was not immediately available for further comment.

A spokesman for Gibson declined to comment due to pending litigation between the actor and his ex-girlfriend, and Gibson's lawyer also was unavailable for comment.

Radaronline.com is relatively new to celebrity news when compared to rivals such as People magazine , Us Weekly or even rival website TMZ.com. Often its stories come from unnamed sources who say they are close to the stars, but it was among the first fan sites to accurately report on the birth of Gibson's and Grigorieva's baby.

Paul Talbert, who is unaffiliated with the case and is a partner with New York matrimonial law firm, Chemtob Moss Forman & Talbert, said it is common for one or another party to tape a conversation with an ex-spouse or partner during a child custody case, especially if one party feels threatened.

"If this tape is genuine, you can see how nasty these things can get," Talbert said.

NASTY CUSTODY BATTLE

Gibson, 54, and the Russian-born singer were reported in April to have split up, five months after the birth of their daughter Lucia.

The Oscar-winning actor and director of "Braveheart" and "The Passion of the Christ" had gone public with their romance shortly after he filed for divorce in April 2009 from his wife Robyn after nearly 30 years of marriage.

At the time, friends said the split was amicable and that the pair had simply drifted apart.

But late last month, the break-up took a bitter turn with reports that Grigorieva, 40, had obtained a restraining order against Gibson, and she claimed he had hit her in the face and knocked out two of her teeth during an argument in January.

Gibson filed a counter claim to prevent her from speaking publicly about the case and about an agreement reached earlier in private on custody, visitation rights and financial support for their daughter.

The actor's lawyer Stephen Kolodny, last week told celebrity website TMZ.com, which also reported of the tape's existence Thursday, that Grigorieva made her claims after having second thoughts about the agreement she had signed.

Gibson, a staunch Catholic, made headlines worldwide in 2006 for a drunk driving arrest in Malibu during which he launched into an anti-Semitic tirade that shocked Hollywood.

Gibson was quoted as telling the arresting officer that "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."

He subsequently apologized for what he called "despicable behavior" and sought counseling. He was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to attend an alcohol recovery program. His criminal record was cleared in October 2009.

I hope so just because I think Mel Gibson is a fucking prick.

**Vieope** · 07-01-2010, 05:42 PM

Isnt being racist consider free speech? Protected by some amndment in american law ?

I am NOT a racist but I think everyone should say what they think. Even if it is stupid.

we don't have free speech in America anymore.

Well, at least he says what he wants.

I cant understand his way of thinking. It's okay to say shit like this in your own home, we all do, but holy shit he's fucking retarded.

**jmorrison** · 07-01-2010, 07:44 PM

I personally think that things said during a fight with your significant other should be a freebie. I think we have all said shit we arent proud of without having our stupidity paraded around.

Bingo! I have zero respect for Mel Gibson which is really sad, because he use to be one of my favorite actors.

But, recording an ex saying something inappropriate during a heated argument is pretty low, and illegal. His ex-girlfriend is a fucking cunt.

On a side note, I hope all you turds that went and paid to see TPOTC realize how you got duped by a total douchebag. I wish I could have got funding to make a Jesus movie. I would be fucking rich.

**brk_nemesis** · 07-01-2010, 09:11 PM

not that I am making excuses but he is Australian, lol.

And from what I know about Australians.. they dont take certain things literally like we do over here. Though it prolly doesn't apply to Gibson since hes been over here forever, but I had an Australian friend that constantly used the N word all the time b/c it wasnt that big of a deal where he came from. In fact, many derogatory words here in America had lesser or even completely different meanings over there....

BUT......

This is a perfect case of if you are a celebrity,.. always keep yo mouth shut, b/c there is always someone watching or listening,....

or taping.

my personal favorite during this cherished time is telling my wife to stop being a douche. By the time I call her that, I know I'm fucked anyway, so it's a free for all. Cunt is another one, but I reserve that for very careful use, as I enjoy my cock attached to my body and not in the fireplace.

Spot on...Australians are the MOST direct communicators in the world..and are also the least politically correct, and not just when it comes to ethnicity or sex.

**Big Smoothy** · 07-02-2010, 12:07 AM

Even though Mel Gibson lives in Malibu, it's still the LA area.

He fairly spot-on in his statement.

**Little Wing** · 07-02-2010, 04:53 AM

i'd have to see the outfit she intended to wear before i decide if he was ok saying what he did.

maybe she did look like a pig in heat looking for a blacks on brunettes gang bang.

it's bullshit to think he didn't have a point.

**Little Wing** · 07-02-2010, 05:07 AM

this is very nice but attending an event with a celebrity like mel she should try and be more sophisticated and less attention whore.

**ROID** · 07-02-2010, 06:29 AM

He looks way older than 54

**AKIRA** · 07-02-2010, 11:53 AM

Honestly, I could give a shit. I dont separate insults according to their meaning. The word nigger is the same as asshole. Oh, wait that wont work cuz im white. Ok, the word Whop (Wop?), Ginnie, or Irish shithead are all the same as prick, asshole, fuckface, loser etc.

Insults are supposed to offend and more directly put, demand attention. I have never, EVER seen a person get insulted that made them corrected, silenced, or behaved from the insult ALONE. Unless there is another motive (like a drill sergeant taking command), the person being insulted always reacts in some personal way. THAT is the goal of the insulter.

Those that told us to "ignore" the people out to insult us were giving spot on advice. Cops are told to not to react to insults. Athletes are taught to ignore crowd harassment.

With that, Mel can say whatever the fuck he wants along with anyone else. The person that gets offended will be the sucker.

**MyK** · 07-02-2010, 12:36 PM

let me know if I get this right. Mel cannot say "nigger" in a private fight with his girlfriend. but the media is allowed to print "n***er" online and in magazines for thousands if not millions to see.

oh I see its ok because they placed a * in place of the igg....

That pic so makes her look like that octo-mom chick. Lol.

I agree, that things we say to our spouses is a little much to be brought into public, but, just because its not physical, doesn't mean it isn't abuse. Verbal abuse is just as bad, if not worse, the mind is a very powerful thing, and if its not strong enough, silly little verbal abuse can eat you from the inside.

**CORUM** · 07-02-2010, 01:43 PM

you know not defending what he said, BUT how many people truly know what n***ger means??? i actually explained it to a black guy once and he was dumb founded and said uhhh..... yeah your right"

once you know the true meaning of it and take offense then maybe you are one!

**maniclion** · 07-02-2010, 02:59 PM

How could you go from being a bad ass cool mother fucker to being a bitter, hateful, little man?

His cool personality was apparently tied directly to his mullet. When they clipped his hair it was all over.

**maniclion** · 07-02-2010, 04:36 PM

He had short hair in Mad Max, probably the coolest he ever was....I think he drunk himself retarded...

**Curt James** · 07-02-2010, 06:19 PM

^Good point.
