Remember when I said the other day that Mel Gibson is probably an angry, violent man? Well, check this out:<\/a><\/p>\n

In one of the most explosive, racist and vile outbursts by a celebrity ever caught on tape, Mel Gibson told the mother of his love child that the way she was dressed would get her “raped by a pack of n***ers,” RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
\nIt’s a shocking and blockbuster development in the couple’s bitter legal battle, and Mel’s disgusting words are on audio tape. His racist, misogynist statement is one of the secrets lurking in his war with his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
\nRadarOnline.com has heard the tape, which also includes Mel telling Oksana he will burn down her home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There has been no denial from the Gibson camp. Believe me, there is almost zero chance this is untrue. If Radar hadn’t really heard it, and been triple-plus sure it was genuine, they wouldn’t have reported this. To have done so absent metaphysical certainty would have been to open the magazine up to a civil lawsuit that would have let Gibson own them all. No, this is his mistress — the woman he left the mother of their seven children for — w arning him that he’d better give her what she asks for. You can be sure this isn’t the only tape of him raging that she has; if it were, she wouldn’t have released it yet.
\nThis is the end of Mel Gibson’s career. For the sake of his soul, I hope so. This tortured, self-destructive mess of a man needs to get his life together, before it’s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
