Mel Gibson called Winona Ryder, who is Jewish, an "oven dodger".

This was the moment after he asked her 'Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?' because the friend she was with was gay.

"If you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault,"

- Mel Gibson to his partner

Mel Gibson once said he opposed women as priests because "men and women are just different. They're not equal."

When asked about his Catholicism, Mel Gibson stated that it would mean a place in heaven for him; admitting he thought his wife who is "a saint" and "better than I am" would go to hell because she's refused Catholicism and that's what he believes as a Catholic.

Mel Gibson was caught in a recording saying he would get his partner deported by "reporting her to the fucking people that take fucking money from the wetbacks"

Later admitting he broke her teeth with his fist, twice, while she held their child, because "you deserved it".

"I'll put you in a fucking rose garden you cunt,"

"You need a fucking bat in the side of the head,"

"You're a fucking whore. Now, I own you."

- Mel Gibson to his partner in recording

I believe people can redeem themselves. They can genuinely approach the people they harmed and repair the harm. Mel Gibson never did that. Today he calls the people asking him about this "annoying".

I remember that moment when Mel Gibson (and Vince Vaughn) were visibly shook with anger at Meryl Streep's speech calling out Trump's misogyny and bullying.

We remember when Mel Gibson starred in a film by an alt right director playing cops who brutalize Latinos for laughs (cracking a neck with boot) then blaming being held accountable on a cancel culture witch hunt.

We remember Mel Gibson refusing to include any Jewish scholars for Passion of the Christ, ignoring Catholic guides for depicting it, then making one of the most antisemitic films in history. Jews as grotesque and eternally cursed with bloodlust for money.

In his film, Apocalypto, Mel Gibson championed Christianity by reviving myths that were used to justify genocide of 75M Native Americans, including 200K Maya in Guatemala—helping to introduce white supremacist propaganda to a whole new generation.

Mel Gibson, when asked about his views on gay people, told a Spanish newspaper, pointing to his ass, "this is only for taking a shit". When asked for apology by GLAAD, Gibson replied "when hell freezes over. They can fuck off."

One of Mel Gibson's extremely abusive calls to his partner.

Here is Mel Gibson refusing to denounce his father's Holocaust denial.

Instead responding to Diane Sawyer with the look and phrase that people who know abusers can instantly recognize.

Bad but a tad better than when Mel Gibson responded to a similar question about his father's open antisemitism and Holocaust denial with

"The man never lied to me in his life" implicitly agreeing with his father.

Mel Gibson's religious sect isn't exactly Catholic like 63M Americans, it's part of a cult group consisting of 50-100K who reject the Second Vatican reforms, which included the lifting of the antisemitic belief that Jews were guilty of deicide (killing of God).

And even among them, Mel Gibson belongs to an even smaller fringe group, independent of them, with maybe hundreds of members.

When asked who inspired him for Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson named Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German nun who believed Jews strangled Christian children for their blood, to ceremonially use it to conjure evil powers aka blood libel.

In addition, Mel Gibson's spiritual muse, Anne Catherine Emmerich, also believed that Noah's son Ham started all of the "the black, idolatrous, stupid nations" on Earth, referring to Africa. This notion was also used to justify slavery of Africans as God's will.

Neo nazis have posted this thread to their pages, directing people to defend Mel Gibson. Here is one with 22K followers quoting Gibson, who used the same phrase to claim a journalist was hiding that he was Jewish. Here, Keith Woods "exposes" me as a Jew.

Here is when Mel Gibson claimed a journalist's question to him about his misogyny, racism, antisemitism and homophobia was invalid because he suspected he had "a dog in this fight" aka that the reporter should disclose if he was Jewish or gay.

Mel Gibson's chosen star for his life's work, Jim Caviezel, just delivered Mel Gibson's Braveheart speech (calling people to fight and die, with Christ as their swords) at a Q anon convention—an epicenter of far right antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Hey @corneliusuliano is casting a Mel Gibson what you dreamed of when you wrote Boys of Summer?

This story is largely ignored by culture and entertainment writers, thanks to @JoshMalina and @VanityFair for challenging that.
