I wasn't going to mess with this story. I don't think that it is news or that it should be any of our concern, except for the fact that a major Hollywood figure is involved and that his career is done! You must remember that Hollywood is fake! You could watch every Mel Gibson movie and all of his broadcast interviews and think that you know the guy - but you don't. Because, Hollywood is fake! It's all a show. Even after the director says, "CUT!" The show continues. We can try to put ourselves in Mel's shoes, but we are not actors and we are not filthy rich!
The taped conversation that has damned Gibson should never have been leaked nor aired. Gibson has been convicted within the media. He may well deserve it, but this is not the way that things are done in the United States. We have laws and courts...remember?
In the end, it's sad that Mel was thinking with his wrong head. It's sad that he's not able to age gracefully. Mel is learning things every day. Some of the lessons which he is learning are going to cost him a lot of money. But still, remember: Hollywood is fake! Very little of this crap is what it appears to be.
