Well now I definitely don’t feel bad about torrenting Braveheart
Did he blame the Jews again?
No, but I’m shocked he didn’t, he’d probably get a standing ovation from the right and be among the elite right aside the my pillow guy and Elon.
You mean the same guy who said he hopes his (then) partner gets “raped by a pack of n****rs” isn’t voting for Kamala? I’m shocked I tell you.
He’s been unhinged for years, we should have cancelled him decades ago and let Mel succumb to his own alcoholism.

Sorry for all I could find was horrible quality
time to take another long hiatus from work, mel.
Nonsense, he will get steady work alongside Kevin Sorbo!
Who the fuck is “Mel Gibson?”
“Say what you want about the man, but the sunuvabitch knows story structure!”
Yes Mel Gibson is still bonkers.
Until producers stop giving him money and actors refuse to work with him he’ll continue spreading hate, the guy has been an obvious bigot and moron his entire life
“I separate people and their art” people are the fuckin’ worst and huge part of the problem, too, since they don’t do a damn thing to incentivise those losers to stop what they’re doing, either.
When I learned that “Sweet Home Alabama” was in bitter response to Neil Young’s “Southern Man” I just stopped listening to it. There is so much music in the world, I’ve been fine without Lynyrd Skynyrd. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mel Gibson movie and I seem to be ok.
Eh, Mad Max, Road Warrior, and Beyond Thunderdome are classics. Lethal Weapon was good.
He was even decent in the John Wick flashback “The Continental”.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would say that “Sweet Home Alabama” is very different. It was not written bitterly and it was written by a bunch of Neil Young fans (and Neil himself loved the song). The point of “Sweet Home Alabama” was to show that there were people who grew up in the South who weren’t racist, who acknowledged and decried the racist history of the South, but who also felt resentment at being lumped in with the racists, past and present. Being both proud of being from the South and ashamed of being from the South at the same time even has its own term, coined AFAIK by the band The Drive-By Truckers: “the duality of the Southern Thing.”
There are plenty of artists and musicians that should just be written off, but I don’t think Skynyrd is among them. They were actually relatively progressive for their background and were trying to paint a fairly sophisticated and balanced story; it’s not their fault that their fanbase evolved into a bunch of racist assholes who preempted the song for their own causes, especially since the heart and soul of the band died in a plane crash in 1977. But that’s just my two cents as a huge music fan who grew up listening to Skynyrd in the 90’s.
Wtf is that website? It freezes preventing me from scrolling.
So many out of work actors raging their boy is getting destroyed by a woman.
Not defending the guy, but he has not at all been out of work. He just hasn’t been in movie theaters nationwide. He’s been in plenty of stuff recently. John Oliver even mentioned how crazy it’s been that he’s been so busy despite all the racist and antisemitic rants he’s had.
So many immigrants complaining about immigration too.
TBF, Australia has a really big problem with racism. Against immigrants in particular.
As an American that traveled there 2 years ago on vacation, it was typical for them to ice break with “so how about them immigrants” after they found out we were American (and assumed all Americans are Texans I guess, by the stereotype they were expecting)
Why is anyone still listening to this man enough for this to make it to a headline?
A high enough percentage of people without ad-block were likely enough to click.
The Passion of the Anti-Christ
I tried finding a gif of Mel in a straight jacket from Lethal Weapon, but I’ll settle for this one:
why is anyone still giving airtime to this washed up has-been?
You mean a guy that hasn’t had a real job since he was 19 has a bonkers view of the world?
Plenty of better, more popular actors aren’t racist or insane.
Very true.
What’s a real job?
Acting is work. Acting is not easy. Especially if you want to be believable on screen.
Don’t dismiss an entire field of workers just because of one stupid asshole.
Found the theater kid
Dude is just another relative nobody can invite over for Easter.
