- On July 28, 2006 at 3:10 a.m. famed celebrity actor Mel Gibson was pulled over for speeding along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. Gibson was traveling at 80 miles per hour, 35 miles per hour over the legal speed limit. The police gave Gibson an alcohol breath test and a field sobriety test. They discovered that his blood alcohol level was .12, far exceeding the state's legal limit. Deputy James Mee, one of the responding officers, claimed that Gibson was irate, saying "My life is f****d." The deputy then instructed Gibson that he would not use his cuffs if Gibson would cooperate. Gibson responded: "I'm not going to get in your car" and proceeded to make a mad dash toward his own car. The officers subdued Gibson, cuffed him, and placed him in the back of the police car. Gibson became even more irate and issued a series of inflammatory comments to the police. He is reported to have told the officers: "F*****g Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked one of the officers, "Are you a Jew?" He then said to Deputy Mee, "I own Malibu" and "I will spend all of my money to get even with you." A female sergeant approached Gibson and he said to her: "What do you think you're looking at sugar tits?" Gibson was booked into the Lost Hills Sheriff's station at 4:06 a.m. He spent a few hours in lockup before being released on $5,000 bail at 9:45 a.m. After Gibson's release, Deputy Mee claimed that his superiors in the police department asked him to submit a sanitized version of the report-one that omits the more inflammatory comments-because they felt that it would "incite Jewish hatred." In the following interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, Gibson grapples with the reasons he utilized such incendiary language in discussing the Jewish community.
I feel so bad for him. He was treated like a murderer. That woman knows nothing about alcoholism. It is a Jekyll and Hyde existence. They go beyond drunk, they drink to oblivion.
Did you hear the Saint Mel sciptures? The sermon on the phone?
Omg Dianne Sawyer is not at fault here. SMH, Mel is using the media to rehab his image she's NOT there to make excuses for him.
@@itsallgoodman4108that man has deep wells of anger and hatred.
@@jodiejohnson2408
Actually, it's been revealed that Diane Sawyer has had substance issues herself.
There's a video of her on here where she's drinking wine and popping either a pain pill/or anxiety pill literally minutes before going on air.
So she's the last one to be judging others and questioning others about their substance abuse issues.
This country is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. And the reason the majority never get help or end up relapsing is because judgemental people never let them forget their mistakes.
I'm a drunk myself and I can't imagine being put on the spotlight like he was, having to explain himself to some media broad and having millions of people sitting in judgement on him. I really feel for him. When he says, " you will sacrifice anything" just to get that drink, that put's the reality of addiction into it's purest perspective. To anybody that judges him, keep that in mind.
That's what happens when you name the "chosen people"
@@pabloherrera7210 Broad literally just means "woman". It's a common term that New Yorkers use and it's not derogatory. And in fact, in the 1940s it was more of a compliment than anything, meaning a strong and independent woman.
Or y’all are just anti Semitic, racist shitbags who want an excuse to be shitty ;)
Well for you to refer to one of the most well, respected journalist as a "media broad" really shows how stupid you are. Loser in fact! Keep drinkin........loser!!!
Amen. I don't judge people
he stood up, apologised, admitted what he did and that is was wrong, and gets slaughtered for it. i've done horrific things when drunk, many have. he's right, alcohol is no excuse, but there are reasons people turn to it. mel, good luck.
He is a public figure who made racist remarks towards Jewish people while drunk. His movie Passion of Christ was controversial there were speculations of him being an anti-semite. He said what he meant under the influence. It was a silly move considering how many influential people in Hollywood are Jewish. After Michael Richards’s racist rant his career was over so is Mel’s. He apologized when he was sober which means he regretted that he spoke what was on his mind while drunk.
There are many many degrees of "horrific things" lol. Drunken actions are not equal!
He spoke his mind when he was drunk. He will have to apologize for the rest of his life for it.
Melisenta V Passion movie was controversial? Could you shed some light here, and explain a bit more? Because I am lost of what you try to imply here. Thanks
to find out who rules over you, find out who you cant criticize. Anyone actully in finance, business, entertainment and government knows what mel gibson said is an objective truth
Everyone has moments of their life that they're ashamed of. Don't judge. He's a human. Imagine if you were world famous and had all your embarrassed moments on TV.
I reserve the right to judge a man who has shown himself multiple times to be racist, sexist, anti Semitic and generally narcissistic.
Absolutely right! If we all had our bad moments on display…none of us would have friends anymore.
This happened when I was little kid... the whole sugar t*** thing was the funniest thing ever.
I never done anything bad to anyone in my life i am perfect just ask my mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got three years off the sauce and have had insanely embarrassing moments in front of loved ones. It’s unbelievable to imagine having the world watch you at your worst moments.
Man I hate this siege and capture type of journalism. If one would call this journalism.
Journalism is dead. They are vile, evil, dishonest hyenas and vultures.
This isn't journalism. It's the modern equivalent of a witch-trial.
Mel was not forced to hold this interview. This is him trying to rehabilitate his image. There is no siege and capture, Mel is using the press for HIS ends. Witch trial puhleese.
These are not journalists, they are vultures!
Sawyer can say she s without sins ?
We should do put her in his seat , her and all the people who are judgmental like her .
Saying things on all these false Jews he had to deal with in this industry, who can say he s wrong? They are not Jews , they pretend to be, to be protected, they are the synagogue of Satan written in the Bible.
Jesus is a Jew . If I reckon , Mel did the Passion of Christ.
And we can see in this movie real Jews and the Pharisees.
Today is not different.
Be objectified people.
Why World War One ? Be honest !
You have the answer!
At least he's admitting defeat and he's not defending what was said, I still love him
he’s deflecting consciousness
Lol riiggghhhhttttt 🙄
Yes... wouldn't want to have to stand behind those factually accurate statements that just happen to be inconvenient truths he said while drunk... Especially in PC world where you're cancelled for far less these days. Although I wonder if it would even be mentioned, where he talking about White people negatively instead... I doubt it.
I’m an alcoholic and to be publicly burned at the stake for addiction- relapse - I’m going through it myself . I’ve learned you will sacrifice anything and you need help to survive
Punishment outweighs the crime
Wild how they made this out to be such an important thing and have a big dramatic interview to showcase it
Cos he spoke the truth.
There's still an awful lot of emotional pain in Mel Gibson, you can read it in his facial expressions throughout this video.
They sit there and interview the guy like they are fucking perfect. Geez man.
Only Mel Gibson could look handsome for a drunken mugshot
After all that has transpired since then. I am now and forever a die hard Mel Gibson fan.
He is amazingly talented and his flaws only prove that he is human.
With out these flaws perhaps he would not have such a depth or range to be able to work from.
His audience benefits from his flaws regardless of how we feel about what he may have said or done.
+1400IntruderVS Here is a transcript of a phone call where he admits to hitting his girlfriend and breaking her teeth while she is holding their baby. He also tells her that she deserved it and threatens to kill her. The audio is available online if you care to search for it. It's quite difficult to listen to. He is human, yes, but not a normal human.
+Dane Spacey There is no normal.
Obviously he had rage issues and years of alcohol abuse haven't helped at all.
His personal life does not detract from the body of his work.
+1400IntruderVS There is very much a normal. Not beating your girlfriend while she holdings you baby child for example is considered normal. Whether or not this detracts from his body of work is very much a personal choice.
Amen...Honest man!!
Die Hard was Bruce Willis
she could guilt someone into taking their own life they way she shames them over n over n over.
Felt that to, the women is evil
It's pretty sad that had he plowed into someone while drunk instead it would have been a much less serious offense in the eyes of the media... Who happens to be run by a certain group
I feel bad for Mel, alcoholism is a terrible addiction. My father was an alcoholic and it is a jekyll/hyde existence. You can be the nicest guy in the world but when you get as drunk as these people you can turn into the biggest jerk in the world. The interviewer clearly does not know anything about alcoholism.
My pop's fraternal twin brother, my Uncle Harry, was an alcoholic most of his adult life. He was a functioning one much of the time. He was married, responsible, helped raise 2 kids (my 2 cousins, who are identical twin sisters), and held down a job. When he wasn't working on weekends, which he'd do once in a while, he was kicking back during the day in his easy chair getting his drink on with beer and mad shots of Jim Beam. He would do it for a certain amount of hours and then put a cap on it once he was pretty knunked up😐
Then he'd doze off and repeat the cycle whenever the mood arose, which, sadly, was more often than not
Mel gibson has to be one of the smartest, most down to earth, no nonsense, guys you could meet.
have you met him?
He stood up and admitted his faults ! This interview was set up to put him back in that dark place and he handled it very well! Much love Mel!! Stay strong 💪
He's holding back his anger barely
AMEN 🙏
I feel every word Mel. Keep fighting. Alcohol will NOT control.
Alcohol doesn't only create demons in people, it releases them.
this is the funniest interview ever, what an absolute CHAD!
I have a friend who is a slave to substance abuse. Alcohol, cocaine. I've been present, physically pulling him out of situations, trying to stop him from buying coke. But as soon as I've left the situation, he will just go off and do it anyway. He is in AA. But it never leaves them. This could be any one of us.
He's using the alchohol as the reason for his behavior and hoping that reduces the blowback which from reading the comments seems to be working. There's plenty of evidence that he's capable of this kind of behavior with or without the help of alcohol.
ok where?
4:02 "I can get really mad about.....I can murder inanimate objects! * nods like a madman, raises eyebrows into the troposphere * You should see me choking the toaster in the morning!! RARRGHR!!! You know, so I'm sort of a work in progress right now........"
Well if by "work in progress" he means "caveman" I would have to agree! Ooga Booga!
GimlesGaming I have a sense of humor, lol.
Hes right about the Jews!!!
You got me a little GREEN. LMAO.
YOU SHOULD SEE ME CHOKING THE TOASTER IN THE MORNING
“where does this anger come from?”
~ the demons that have inhabited me
WHERE IS THE POLICE CAM FOOTAGE?
Massive judgement & sourness towards him from the reporter. As if she's never made mistakes b4
I don't know how other alcoholics feel but I can say from experience, I'm an entirely different and reprehensible human being when I'm drunk.
Diane loves to try to tear this guy down
He apologized. All the people judging him have done stupid things when they were drunk too.
Good luck bro. Hope you heal, and life get better for you. Sincerely.
I liked Mel even more after he did all this lol he'll always be one of my favorite actors and directors
I get the feeling Gibson is always acting. Hammy might be a better word to describe him. Insincere.
I don't have any problem with him and I don't judge him for his drunken rants but I honestly wouldn't believe a word he ever said. There's a lot of cold, hard bitterness in him that he won't let go of.
4:47 Mr. Gibson is absolutely right. So that is what The Holy Bible says. Every task is for our own sake. And I'm glad he went through it. I started to love him even more. And we yet to see how many good he's going to do. I pray to our Father to keep him safe.
Who still loves him.i do
I know I do he's my husband's sobriety hero
I don't like the way she talks to him. I could have asked the same questions without looking down at him
i can understand the way he describes the effects of hugely excessive alcohol abuse.
I wish I’d seen this interview years ago. as I might have learned before it was far too late.
There are "healing frequency" videos on youtube for alcoholism and healing disease, including liver disease.
@@jimbobjimjim6500
i brought it well under control, thankfully.
the problem is what it cost
The toaster part of just priceless.
He’s a fing legend
He sounds about as nuts as Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest during the entry interview with the male psychiatrist.
Mel Stay strong!
Mel I miss you in the movies. You’re so damn cool and good at what you do. Lethal weapon forever. RIIIIIIGS!
ABC basically for this "exclusive" interview was just a mouthpiece for Gibson's PR campaign and damage control.
correct.
I love this interview
Mel you are a rock star!!, and its a shame seeing you like this..F.`em all.Do and say whatever,you rule!.
Keep your head up. I know you're not racist. You have the same problem I have. Alcoholic. Happens to the best of us.
i agree that people make mistakes and he doesn't need our judgement. but it always starts with yourself. and mel proved many times how flawed he is. especially when it comes to his racist tendencies. he even used the n word in those leaked audio records and combined it with the word "pack" that basically dehumanized black men. so he started that crap. and people still making excuses for him. i know alcohol is bad but there is also the saying that drunk people have no filter and they tend to say what they really think. IN VINO VERITAS
when it comes to his anti jewish statements. what else is he supposed to do? of course he has to apologize. that is not something to be proud of. that stuff was on tape. he had no other choice.
by the way: no one forced him to make this interview. and the only reason this interview even exists is his because of him and his actions. and remember: actions always speaks louder than words.
Drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts...
I don't believe this. You are not in your right mind,
Not always. So ignorant.
Thoughts are often insane. Sober or drunk.
I heard a drunk man saying he was cleopatra not always true
@@rhyemm1 🤣
Greatest leading man ever.
I don't care what he said. He's a legend. Anyone offended should kick rocks.
I've said and done some really stupid things drunk. No, it isn't an indication about what you really feel. I've gotten in extreme arguments with friends, only for the next day for us to realize we didn't care at all about what we were arguing about. The guy was drunk. It alters your perception of the world. We don't ask people on acid, why they thought they were superman the next day. Perhaps they are covert narcissist? Or perhaps they were in an altered state of mind.
am glad a Believer in God Jesus, Father, actor n Director is willing to talk about this.. it's in the Bible about the angry drink..it's spiritual. everyone has been there and there should be no judgement..we all live n learn..he has become a better man for it 🎉 😊
Sounds human to me. Mel didn't know the cop was Jewish. Mel was working on making anyone he came in contact with upset and I guess he succeeded. Mel apologized and I believe him. Time to move on. We all have our problems.
MEL = BASED OAXACA MEZCAL, period. MEL IS A LEGEND
Always hated Diane sawyer, she’s a grade A bigot herself, she puts people on the spot by asking very insinuating questions while looking at her subject as if they aren’t human. She makes a career out of dramatizing an event in a celebrities life to an extent that makes it sound much worse than it probably was. Embarrassing her subjects further than they already feel. I’m not so sure why any actor or celebrity would want an interview with her as most of them end up regretting it and don’t want anything to do with her
She is nasty. She is Jewish is why she gets a free pass.
What liquor does he talk about at 1:02? Muscaul? What?
One of the reasons JRE podcast is so popular is because it is not overproduced and the discussion is allowed to just flow and the audience stays with the discussion. I can no longer stand watching these overproduced interviews with hundreds of cuts and voiceovers interspersed throughout the entire conversation.
The truth comes out when you drink so. I'm not surprised because I've heard about him being anti-semitic before this
Saddest part is Robyn Filed for Divorce Holy Thursday 2009!!
Mel is a brave man. Takes a lot to throw yourself on your knees like he’s done a couple of times. Much respect
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸
2:30 I fucking love this part lol
From one human to another, we all need forgiveness and we all do things in life that we wish we didn't. Mel Gibson has done great things through his faith and has always said he is a work in progress....we all are. I don't like how he is being made to feel in front of the world.
Terrible people are good at hiding it from people, alcohol makes it harder to hide, or makes people get lazy and forget to hide. "Drunk words are a sober man's thoughts" those thoughts weren't implanted in his mind, they were bouncing around his head and not allowed to be expressed until he was impaired enough to not hide it.
Am a musician...Alcohol has become my nemisis.
Terrifying...
I think Mel Gibson is great, I've read alot about him, reading between the lines he was brain washed by his dad as a kid, about Jewish people, drink does make you a different person, that is why I have not had a drink for 12 years
the unconscious
It's hilarious how Michael Richards got crucified and everyone just kind of forgot and forgave Mel because he's actually cool and Michael isnt
He spoke truth.
Michael Richard’s didn’t give us Braveheart.
And then once he apologised, he was aloud to work again.
Some ‘anti-Semitic trope’.
LOVE YOU MEL YOUR AN AMAZING ACTOR
This grand inquisit- i mean "interview" did not do his defense any good...
i really hope he finds he's way back to AA or something. He's clearly an alcoholic.
+Rick Edenvall Hes already admitted he is years ago , he was sober for like 20 years
He will do it again
She is trying to trap him in falsities. She is no where near a believer in God.
Idk why her tainted moral opinion is showcased, or how any non believer in Jesus can have a correctly dialed moral compass. Well, oh yeah, they cant...
He was right. He spoke truth. But I don't advocate hating people.
Go to AA. It's what works best for most.
He said in this interview that he was ashamed about the police thing. So why is he doing this mea culpa interview? His PR people said that it he needed to do it...why did he agree to this? It's the most awkward interview I have ever seen.
He’s charismatic, very Ted Bundyesque
Out of all the laws he broke, the fact that he went on a tirade about Jews is not that big of a deal.....opinions are not against the law
What if he was black? Where did that come from
What if he was a vegetarian?
I pray 🙏 Mel gets back on the wagon. No person is perfect. Therefore I for one, think nothing of his behavior. It’s over and hopefully he’s working to fight his demons.
at first i thought yeah wow at least he's really owning up to exactly what happened but the longer it went on the more it seemed like he was acting and like working the interviewer (whatever her name is, i forget).
Mel Gibson is Cool! 😎👍
This is the biggest question that drives me crazy, if Suunto found the edge and they were throwing up nuclear bombs to try to figure out how high the Dome went? Then why is it that high-altitude balloons show a huge disc and why would Admiral Byrd who was the first one to explain this to everyone lie and say that he found more land if there's this barrier his exact words were from flying from Little America he found another piece of land size of the United States. So for all you freaking idiots out there maybe there is some type of top shelf that we don't understand completely what to say that there is a side wall just eats everything that our whole perspective is based on and that is Admiral Byrd. She said there was more land and I believe him call me or anyone who doesn't believe him is only being silly considering we are basing this on all of his records.
Mel Gibson is my childhood hero. That he's flawed, but humble enough to admit it, is why he's still my hero to this day.
Brilliant 😎
He is one crazy SOB! After "Passion of Christ" he preaches all respect for Jews, he looks all high in that Interview as well with Diane. They say a man speaks all truth when he is drunk. Well there you go...the truth came out when he was caught for speeding!
sober?
Was what he said really that bad lmao come on
SO MUCH RESPECT!!!❤❤❤
Oh well he was always known as "Mad Mel" duh anyway, we must separate the artist from the man!!!
King
Mel's king he's just laughing at her
Interviewer is the bad guy👎🏿
are americans born dramatic?
MisterSir he's not
Mel Gibson has bipolar disease. This is no small thing. People who are "manic-depressive" have little or no control over behavior that "normal" people find abhorrent. People who pass judgement on anyone who loses control usually look at those episodes as a moral failing. I fully sympathize with Mel, as I know several people who are bipolar. They suffer terribly through life and they deserve our understanding, not our condemnation.
Love Mel!
GENIUS!
OK. Im back here to the bottle. I thought I never will put the bottle to my lips again. Not after the last horrible thing. But I think that thats the thing with all of uss drinkers. We like the taste of booze. And BOOM., were there again. It doesnt matter if we are a movie star or like me, a buss driver. We are all the same shit.
Oh mel ive been in your place to many times at moment 3 20 and 7.10
