Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors of all time. I watched all of his films except “Braveheart” not because I do not like it but the scene where his girlfriend was killed is the one which I felt gruesome. “Passion of Christ” was a major box office hit though I found some mistake in editing the film. Well I have to write about the latest news about him. I knew that he committed adultery when he found another woman and have a child with her. The latest news is that he physically abused because they have a bitter legal battle in recent months for the child custody. Oksana Grigorieva the alleged victim is a Russian singer who also wants the custody of their child Lucia.
The Sheriff’s statement said that the alleged violence occurred in January at Gibson’s home in Malibu. There was no statement from Gibson side as of this writing.
Mel Gibson is a major Hollywood star who found fame after he portrayed the action hero in “Mad Max” movies. He again boosted his stardom in the “Lethal Weapon” cop flicks and others and won Oscars for directing and producing “Braveheart”.
But the actor ran into trouble in 2006 when he was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California, where he lives, and then launched into an anti-Semitic tirade against the arresting officer. He was quoted as telling the official that "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
Gibson subsequently apologized publicly for what he called "despicable behavior" and sought counseling. He was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to attend an alcohol recovery program.
