“We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends,” she said. “And Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’ And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?’”
– 80s icon and Stranger Things actress, Winona Ryder, when asked asked by a reporter if she has experienced anti-semitism in the industry.

The dude is nasty and not worth talking about.
They ALL have said things. Some in private, some not. Jimmy Kimmel, Howard Stern for example. Do they get a pass because it was “Just a joke”?
At least his alcoholism is slowly killing him and one day (hopefully sooner than later), the world will have one less bigot in it.
I actually thought Gibson was dead. Well, he should be anyway. What a POS, racist, bigot, just like John Wayne. I can’t bring myself to view any of Giblets movies, as he makes me ill. There’s enough illness going around Washington, DC these days. I stop all losers are the door of my home.
Mel Gibson’s been a reckon’ jerk for years. I don’t know what makes him think he can get away with this stuff, but he can’t. Just watch his career go down the toilet now. (As if it hasn’t already.)
Shocking that this anti-semite homophobe would say anything anti-semetic and homophobic. But it’s typical behavior of these good christians to spread hate and derision.
