Is Mel Gibson's career finished?

Hollywood Split Over Mel Gibson's Future
Jul 30, 4:49 PM EST

A stunned Hollywood debated the future of one of its biggest stars Sunday as a sheriff's watchdog launched an investigation into a possible cover up of a leaked report that quoted Mel Gibson unleashing a tirade of anti-Semitic remarks during a drunken driving arrest.

One media expert said Gibson irreparably damaged his career with his "crazy" behavior following his arrest by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies in Malibu early Friday. Charges of anti-Semitism were also leveled against the actor-director with the release of his 2004 blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ."

"It's a nuclear disaster for him," said publicist Michael Levine, who has represented Michael Jackson and Charlton Heston, among others. "I don't see how he can restore himself."

The entertainment Web site TMZ posted what it said were four pages from the original arrest report, which quoted Gibson as launching an expletive-laden "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway.

According to the report, in addition to threatening the arresting deputy and trying to escape, Gibson said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and asked the officer, James Mee, "Are you a Jew?"

The report has not been made public, but the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that it had independently verified its authenticity.

Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, would not elaborate beyond a nonspecific apology Gibson issued Saturday. Sheriff's sources also declined to comment on Gibson's alleged remarks.

Studio executives, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, were divided on how Gibson's behavior would affect his career. One noted that people have short memories, including filmmakers who might want to profit from Gibson's star power.

The Office of Independent Review, a department watchdog panel, has opened an investigation into whether authorities gave Gibson preferential treatment by covering up his alleged inflammatory comments, said its chief attorney, Mike Gennaco.

"Assuming that the report was excised, then the question is was it done for a good reason within regulations," he said.

Gibson has filmed public service announcements for Sheriff Lee Baca's relief committee dressed in a sheriff's uniform.

"There is no cover-up," Baca told the Los Angeles Times.


Now we all know that many higher ups in Hollywood are Jews, (this isn't an anti-semitic statement), so I think Gibson's days as a A list Hollywood studio actor are finished. I realize the statements were inflammatory and damaging, but I would hate for Mel Gibson to be blacklisted when other actors have done more damning things and continued their successful careers. Any thoughts on Gibson's future? I realize this isn't exactly an important topic, but with all the death and hatred in the news, this seemed to be a less stressful topic to discuss for a short while.

[lolwatever]

lol the unforgivable crime... he should hav cursed the palestinians or something, he probably would hav got promoted instead...

ok i can understand getting arrested for drunk driving but what does anti semitic marks have to do with anything, racism isnt a crime as long as its only words? i am really confused, and isnt mel gibson jewish or am i confused with someone else?

You can take his licence, but you can't take away his freedom of speech :)

[Muezzin]

Source, please?

Also, if in fact he was driving under the influence, I think that's even worse than any anti-Semitic remark. Drunk driving is a despicable, irresponsible and potentially lethal crime. Sure, anti-Semitism is offensive too, but drunk driving...

Anyway, I don't think Gibson will be out of work. The guy's loaded and has directed movies in the past - he'll simply make another film that he funds himself.

(note: There's a Mad Max joke I could make here, but it would just be inappropriate)

Quick note. He is not Catholic as you and I would consider someone Catholic. He belongs to the Society of St. Pius, which was excommunicated from the Catholic Church several decades ago.

come onnn man.. most of the holy wood movies are against Islam and Muslims... and no body have acted and have been sensitive such as zionists who are forcing every one to either say they are the best or else they will be called anti-Semitic or terorists and end up in jail or losing their Jobs.

They have made fun about our prophet that he is a terrorist, what did the Muslims so? protest and got mad.. but NOTHING happened to the anti-Islamic people i shall call them who have been behind this.

we have even boycotted their products and they have lost millions of dollars and the Denmark president insisted that this is freedom of speech and people are having fun.

imagine if the holocaust were on those picture instead of our Prophet... i think it'll be WW3

well those are individuals whom are ignorant...
but the point here that Cristians in the west mocks Jesus in their Media, Movies, cartoon episodes and even sex scenes.
if they accept that for their messenger whom they believe that he's even a God in such lower way... then that is their choice... Muslims aren't going to do any thing bcz the way Christians view Jesus is different than Islamic views, they picture him as a God but we Picture him as a human and messenger from God...

But when non-Muslims comes out and make fun about our Prophet just to hurt Muslims feelings and show their discrimination among us... then this is were we should come out and say STOP.

and i think every one have seen the mess that happened in every Muslim and even non-Muslim countries.

but non-Muslims aren't able to understand that when they start doing such stuff they are actually helping Muslims to unite and spread the word of God in the Qur'an.

after this unforgivable event... Qur'an books were sold out from most of the book stores in Denmark... at that point many non-Muslims have joint Islam like crazy after they learnt about Prophet Muhammad.

since most of them were questioning why did millions and millions came out to protest and got really mad about a Prophet.. their must be something unique in this prophet...?

[afriend]

Ack.....Braveheart was a great movie :p

[searchingsoul]

their must be something unique in this prophet...?

Or something unique in the conditioning of the people. By saying this I'm not saying that your prophet isn't unique and wonderful. But he isn't for everyone and the protests don't prove that he's especially "unique".

Jesus satire doesn't bother me. You are wrong when you claim that the Christians view Jesus as God. Research the trinity. Go beyond Islamic resources to do this. I would suggest a christian website and even a christian forum. Jesus was human.

All Christians won't agree but the fact that he was human leads me to believe that he had a sense of humor. Hey, he was a fun loving guy!

I'm really not discussing the trinity thing... your bible have lost it's original revelution, Christians believe in many things that other Christians doesn't believe in and completely disagree with... that's really not an issue and I'm not discussing it here...

it doesn't bother you... that's your choice no one is asking you to bother about your messenger whom you believe he's a human...

the question about Prophet Muhammad i have posted... i was telling you what non-Muslims have asked, therefor they have went out to book stores to by the Qur'an to learn about his uniqueness that they were questioning about.

you don't believe in him, that's fine.. I'm not asking you to think he's unique or special. niether the protesters where proving that he's unique, they were protesting for the fact of love that we hold for that Prophet who have been disrespected badly just to hurt our feelings.

are u Catholic?, I was in the past and they generally believe in the trinity while other new christian sects that are usually in the united states will say Jesus and God are the same and make no distinction between them, protestants, evengelicals and others do this, maybe this is what lammagad means, I no offense do not even consider them real Christians cause if u remember why the protestant religion started u will realize it was completely man made and not a word of God, while orthodox and catholics go way back to the earlier times.

Evangelicals are Protestants. And they do not consider Jesus to be God. He's considered the son of God. The trinity isn't exclusive to Catholics. Understanding the trinity is important if a non-muslim wishes to make a blanket statement like "Christians view Jesus as God". This is a false and misleading statement. For example, saying "Muslims believe it's okay to beat your wife" is false and misleading. It's easy to understand why a non-muslim may believe this since physical punishment is mentioned in a hadith. But the concept of punishing your wife is lost when one fails to correctly understand the hadith.

[Islamicboy]

I've seen that debated a few times on this forum. I don't know if they are muslim or just nonpracticing bad muslims. Not many people seem to agree on this situation.

Interesting that this forum actually had debates over it. Its pretty clear all the famous scholars have agreed to the fact anyone who mocks prophet muhammed peace be upon him has left the fold of islam.

Again, you do not understand the trinity, which is crucial when making this type of statement.

excuse me searching but that is generally the difference between catholics and protestants please dont tell me when i have grandparents from Ireland that were in mixed marriages and would bicker about this, Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are trinitarians, Protestants and all the new offshoot sects believe Jesus is God, i dont know where u get ur info from but i know a good amount of everyone and one of my bestfriends from my childhood was a Baptist which is a type of protestant practised largly down south by many blacks and whites alike.

[Looking4Peace]

P.S- I used to be catholic and from my knowledge i could never sit at a protestant church because the beliefs were no where near the same and the one time i did i was completely thrown off because they were praying to Jesus and calling him God and when i questioned them they looked at me like i had 3 heads and said oh u must be a catholic!!!!!!!

From what I know of Mel Gibson, it isn't surprising that the guy has some anti-semitic feelings. His father is known to deny the Holocaust ever happened and has made anti-Jewish statements in the past. Not sure if this episode with Mel is due to his father's influence, the Christian sect that he is a member of, or simply a drunken fiasco. Either way, it shows a side of Mel that most people probably could have done without witnessing.

I don't think being drunk is an excuse for being anti-semetic. Being anti-semetic is not okey, at all! And frankly, if his career is over due to this, then it's nothing more than he deserved.

Ma'assalama

na...he is funny

[searchingsoul]

He's getting old . It's time for him to move on to character roles anyway.

[Muezzin]

His career is not over. The guy is minted enough to make all the independent picture he likes until he dies.

That said, anti-Semetism is indeed not good. This kind of discrimination in general is abhorrent.

[al-fateh]

well to think the jews they would basically humiliate him before anyhting


and thats what is happeneing

[Hijrah]

come onnn man.. most of the holy wood movies are against Islam and Muslims... and no body have acted and have been sensitive such as zionists who are forcing every one to either say they are the best or else they will be called anti-Semitic or terorists and end up in jail or losing their Jobs.

They have made fun about our prophet that he is a terrorist, what did the Muslims so? protest and got mad.. but NOTHING happened to the anti-Islamic people i shall call them who have been behind this.

we have even boycotted their products and they have lost millions of dollars and the Denmark president insisted that this is freedom of speech and people are having fun.

imagine if the holocaust were on those picture instead of our Prophet... i think it'll be WW3

you are funny

Hollywood makes fun of everyone ok

[Lamaggad]

Hollywood makes fun of everyone ok

[Lamaggad]

i'm seen a report in the MSN news that Mel Gibson wants to apologies to the jewish comunity as he was drunk when he said that...

why would any one wants to judge a persone when he's drunk any way?!?!

people rape females while they are drunk and they don't loose thier Jobs or even be punished like what they have done to Mel Gibson.

[מדינת ישׂראל]

people rape females while they are drunk and they don't loose thier Jobs

If you rape a Female you will be sent to Jail if they can prove you did, so I think you actually would lose your job Lammagad. :giggling:

[bint_muhammed]
