The Passion of Mel Gibson

The DUI arrest of Mel Gibson is well circulated by now, but the alleged cover up and Mel’s psychotic break down is just now starting to make the rounds. TMZ.com broke this part of the story and it is pretty ugly for Gibson.
According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, “My life is f****d.” Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, “I’m not going to get in your car,” and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.
The report says Gibson told the deputy, “You mother f****r. I’m going to f*** you.” The report also says “Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he ‘owns Malibu’ and will spend all of his money to ‘get even’ with me.”
The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: “F*****g Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.” Gibson then asked the deputy, “Are you a Jew?”
The deputy became alarmed as Gibson’s tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, “What the f*** do you think you’re doing?”
A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, “What do you think you’re looking at, sugar tits?”
We’re told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how “f****d” he was and how he was going to “f***” Deputy Mee.
We’re told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information — a report that would be locked in the watch commander’s safe.
According to the story all of this is captured on tape and if so everything Gibson did after his arrest will do far more damage to him and his image than the simple drunk driving arrest would have.
UPDATE: Mel Gibson has issued an apology for his arrest and actions following his arrest Friday morning.
“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested,” he said in a statement issued by his publicist. “I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse.”
Gibson also apologized Saturday for what he called “my belligerent behavior” when he was taken into custody.
“The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person,” he said.
“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable.”

How sad. It is one thing to be an ass but then to have it video tapped—wow. We live and learn.
What triggered all this….He was so successful with Passion of the Christ and now he is getting DUI’s..something had to trigger him hitting the bottle. I just wonder what.
~Aww..he is human! After all…most of the the celebrities just cover it up…lie about it…say it wasn’t them…(b lah blah blah…)Maybe he can reach out and do something good with this now!~
~ And on second thought…I don’t believe but about a 10th of what is in the media. Funny…how did the “unsanitized” report just find its way to the media effortlessly? My feeling? Someone made some money off the information whether it be true or false. ~
Gibson has been referred to as anti-semitic for years and has talked about his own drinking problems in the past. None of this is new. It’s now just on tape for everyone to see, finally.
I think Mel Gibson should make a biographical movie of Sadam Hussein’s life and political activities, playing the lead role himself.
Obviously Mel’s dad is a banged up guy and that is why Mel is banged up. Anyone that denies that the Holocaust happened has some serious issues! Honestly, I do feel bad for him but, celebrities have the responsibility to be reputable role models and Mel is certainly not meeting that responsibility. For this reason, it is too bad that regular people look up to celebrities so much- I hope people are moral enough to know right from wrong. Mel was wrong and he is ignorant.
