Robyn Gibson, wife of Mel, has finally given Mel his walking papers. The superstar’s wife filed for divorce last Thursday in L.A. County as the final act of their twenty-nine year marriage. It’s. About. Time.
You know, I remember hearing about this marriage and its troubles back in the eighties when I obtained all my celebrity gossip from The National Enquirer or PM Magazine because the closest thing I owned to a computer was my Little Professor. And believe me, people with computers were using them for munching on pac-dots, not the Internet. Anyway, back then, the story was that Mel was an irrational, unstable, philandering drunk. Boy, how times have changed. Today he’s a bi-polar, alcoholic, wayward, anti-Semitic, homophobe.
It’s always sad to see a marriage end-especially when children are involved. The Gibsons have seven but only one, Tom, is a minor. My own personal philosophy is that even the most tragic of happenings have a silver lining. And the positive in all this? This bi-polar, alcoholic, wayward, anti-Semitic, homophobe doesn’t have a pre-nup. In California, that translates to a 50/50 split of assets acquired since 1980. Something tells me Robyn Gibson has earned. Every. Single. Penny.
word word and WORD Wendie.
I have nothing else to add.
LOL Wendie, it looks like you have been reading One. Breath. At. A. Time.
Oh I soo agree. With the nonsense that she has put up with, Robyn should get all of it. Because I have always believed that only half of what goes on in the home is public and the other half is much worse. If that is true then I can just imagine the sick shit Robyn has gone through.
omg! i totally remember the little professor calculator! thanks for posting that! re: mel. he is just so, ugh.
Dear Management,
As a long time reader of EvilBeetGossip and as the only male left on this site…
I feel as though it is my duty to inform you that I am highly offended and deeply disturbed at the amount of male bashing that continues to transpire here. From Mel Gibson, Flo Rider, Chris Brown, Jerry Lewis, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Sheen, John Mayer, Kanye West, ShamWow dude, etc…
And although there IS some (very little) bitterness toward a few female celebrities (Paris Hilton, Julia Roberts..), the vast and overwhelming majority of your chastising diatribe has been pointed toward the struggling males. While the support and betterwishes are saved for the struggling female celebrities. This behavior is utterly malicious, condescending and highly disrespectful.
I would hope that in future postings and publications that there will be more consideration toward the feelings of men and their equal and inalienable participation in society. We are not objects that are here for your amusement.
Thank you
said the bitter lesbian pretending to be a man on a gossip site.
I am inclined to agree with the exception of Chris Brown. Bashing him is a public service. We should start an entire web site dedicated to mocking his sorry ass.
TSS;
You’re so right. The out of control Lindsey Lohan and the formerly out of control Brittany Spears get baby talk and chin tickling from this crew. The guys get shat on. Don’t get me wrong, I really do feel rather sorry for Lindsey Lohan – nobody wants their life to descend to the shitfest level, its just that some people can’t get out of their own way. I just feel that men (not Chris Brown though) are entitled to a bit of compassion as well. So in the spirit of The Evil Beet Crew when it comes to women – Get Well Mel Gibson. Get yourself to treatment and overcome your addictions. We are rooting for you (insert baby talk and chin tickling here).
If Brit or Linds started blaming all of their personal problems on jews, we would most likely change our tune. I would like Mel to “get better” as well, but I am more concerned about his bigotry than his alcoholism.
What, his “bigotry” when drunk??? How can what a man says when he is drunk be taken at face value? If he treats Jews badly when he is sober, then you can make the case that he is bigoted. Well, I guess you’ve never said anything in anger, said or done nothing you’ve regretted, and think everyone is wonderful, etc? You’ve certainly never had too much to drink (and if you haven’t, good for you – really). Wow. I didn’t know that in my midst, unseen, all of these perfect people existed. I am truly humbled. I’ll make sure to genuflect when all of you pass by.
I’ve never said something racist when drunk. Because I am not racist. Being drunk doesn’t turn you into a bigot, it just makes it more likely that you will slip and say something out loud.
I used to be a bartender. I have been around legions of drunk people. Alcohol does not turn you into an entirely different person.
UH HELLO??? Mischa? Oprah? Fat arms? Miley? Octo-mom? J Lo?
What’s wrong TSS? Did your gossip blog fail?
“We are not objects that are here for your amusement.”
Yes, in fact, you are. Pfft … slow learners.
She’s probably a racist, anti-semitic homophobe too. I have a hard time believing they managed to stay together 28 years (which is like 50 non-Hollywood years) without sharing some of the same views. Especially since his opinions are so strong.
Nora, could not agree more. As for the 50/50 split, I have no doubt that if the sexes were reversed, Wendie would be demanding to know how Mel had earned his half. No doubt, Mel is a dick. It has nothing to do with the fact that he has one.
I like Mel Gibson, the actor. I do not know Mel Gibson the person and neither do you Wendie. It’s sad that a 29 yr marriage is breaking up and I think it’s going to get nasty over his money- he’s supposed to be worth 900 million and that was reportedly 3 years ago.
Mel might be an asshole but his (ex) wife might be a bitch. Report the facts with some witty observations. Don’t act like you know anything about this marriage or the people involved.
lol.
you are on a celebrity gossip blog– celebrity, which infers none of us actually personally know these people, and gossip, meaning speculating and rumors.
Hello?
implies
Could not have said it better myself. I would like to make one observation, though.
“The Judgment of Wendie”
Reading Wendie’s post, I can only assume she has never been impaired, and said or done things she’s lived to regret. As the living embodiment of human perfection, why the Hell is she wasting her time writing an entertainment/gossip blog? Why is she not out attempting to heal the sick and perform miracles? As a being of superior morals and superlative character, the weakness of a middle aged, bi-polar man with a serious drinking problem must certainly be repulsive to a creatuare who inhabits the Seraphim. I have a suggestion; Wendie, why not go out and get snot slinging drunk, yourself, and see how well you fare? I guarantee you will probably do some things you would never do if you were sober. Perhaps that would give you a little compassion, or failing that, humility.
I duno. Something tells me Wendie would not call an officer sugartits, or go on and on about how the Jews are wrecking the world.
Just a thought.
You can blame some stuff on alcohol, but being a bigot? Not even.
Dear Anonymous:
There is one thing the world will not forgive (in its hypocrisy); Bigotry. Unfortunately, everyone, and I mean everyone, has entertained a bigoted thought or two. I confess; I’ve had the occasional bigoted thought. Then, thankfully, my intellect kicks in and I realize that there are perceptions, lurking beneath the surface that I need to examine. The difference is – I don’t live in a state of denial, thinking I’m some sort of paragon of virtue. Because I’m not. And neither are you, and neither is Wendie. And regardless of what you may think, people have been known to do things when drunk they would never do when they are sober. I’ve known a couple of incredibly inhibited people who’ve gotten drunk and run around naked in public (trust me; it’s no fun trying to corral a naked drunk). They would never do such a thing if they were sober and almost died of shame when they woke up and realized what they did the night before. So, my motto tends to be “Here but for the grace of God go I,” and I hope that I never find myself in their condition.
you probably buy the “alcohol made me do it” excuse when it comes to domestic violence too, huh?
oh and by the way, people may do things when drunk that they would never do sober: like spew a bunch of hatred racist remarks, BUT just because they wouldn’t normally SAY what they think doesn’t mean they don’t already think it! in other words, being drunk just made him reveal his bigotry, it didn’t cause him to be a bigot. he already was one.
With regard to domestic violence, no I do not. And unless I missed something significant, this is not a case of domestic violence, but a single case of acting like an asshole in public while drunk. Good God! Was Mel Gibson living with the arresting officer, as well, and attempted to beat him there on the street? The vile dog!!! Please, to compare this to a case of domestic violence is a little extreme, don’t you think? When you present evidence that Mel Gibson treats Jews badly when he is sober, and beats his wife, then I’ll go ahead and hate him. Happy now?
Oh, I have had plenty of drunken nights. But even the most severe inebriation wouldn’t make me spew the “n” word, or anti-Semitic comments. Because those words and concepts aren’t acceptable to me on any level, that’s just not where my drunken tirade would take me.
It might make me call ex-boyfriends, though.
It also depends upon what happens on your night of drunkenness. Something tells me that if you were really, really drunk, and you got really pissed at someone for some reason, based upon your posts (which can be quite cruel), I think that you could get quite out of control. You seem to think that pretty much everyone is beneath you, and make no bones about it, so could you, under the right circumstances pull a Mel Gibson? Yeah. I think so. You know best of course. So, if you say not, I will take you at your word.
Gee, no pre-nup. So does this mean that under California’s community property laws he’ll have to hand over half of his nearly billion dollar empire? How will he get by?
Fully agree with most of the post, but please don’t say bipolar like it’s a bad thing. It’s not a choice, it’s an illness. Many bipolar people are find upstanding members of the community (Stephen Fry for example). Alcohol, bigotry and anti-semetism are lifestyle choices. Bipolar disorder isn’t. :(
Holly:
While being bi-polar isn’t “bad” it ain’t exactly a gift either. It is a debilitating illness as you abserved, and is the cause of much suffering. Alchololism is a dibilitating illness as well, and is the cause of much suffering, or perhaps you’ve been living in a cave?
Or…. You completely missed the point of my post, yeah?
I’m not saying bipolar disorder is a box of bunnies, but it’s not to be lumped in with anti-semitism and bigotry. They are all personal choices. Bipolar disorder is an alteration in the brain. Personally, I think Mel Gibson is a grade A wanker, and deserves all the vitriol he gets, but not for being bipolar. Just for being a twat.
As a bipolar sufferer myself, and the daughter of an alcoholic, I can tell you which one of us is striving to seek help and live a normal life. And it ain’t my mother.
Oh please, get over yourself. You are not the only person who is bi-polar. I’ve dealt with my own “mental illness” issues all of my life, and know, unfortunately, exactly what you are talking about. Living a normally is a struggle. But I strive to do it. I’ve also known my fair share of alcoholics. There are millions of people out there, like us, who struggle every day. Knowing how painful all of this is, I am surprised you have no compassion. Who’s the twat now?
Aw, bless you. Hang on whilst I get that tiny little violin you require so badly.
You are completely misinterpreting everything I say. Are you being purposefully abrasive or are you just an idiot? I’m going to go with a little of column A and a little of column B.
I have compassion. I have compassion for people who deserve it. I do not have compassion for people who reel out excuses for shitty behaviour. Not Mel Gibson, and, as it is becoming more obvious, not you…
You are bi-polar. Mel Gibson is an addict AND is also bi-polar, which is a lot for one person to deal with. He may be an asshole but I think I will cut the guy a little slack. If you didn’t want people to know you were bi-polar, why did you post? You may as well have taken out a billboard, with flashing lights. No one is saying the man is a bad person because he suffers a mental illness. You chose to take it that way. I am sorry you have a difficult life. I know you didn’t chose your circumstances (I think you may have mentioned that a couple of times). I am also sorry for Mel Gibson.
How about both of you shut the fuck up or Ill send the Scientologists to rip your tiny little bickering human brains out through your apparently tightly sealed butt holes.
To Tom Cruise: Oh shut the fuck up. This has nothing whatsoever to do with you. Go treat your tightly would butt hole to a soft relaxing enema.
Where did I say I didn’t want people to know I was bipolar? Is this you misreading my post again? I’m not ashamed. Going back to the crux of my original post, all I was trying to say was that bipolar disorder shouldn’t be lumped in with anti-semitism, homophobia, sexism, bigotry…… Yes? It is not a right wing personal choice, it is something you cannot help. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but last time I checked, homophobia wasn’t a medical condition…
Totally agree. My point was just that in the eighties he was called “unstable” but now there’s a name for it.
Not all people with bi-polar are unstable…but the unmedicated ones are.
Ah. Wendie has decided to grace us with her shimmering presence, her wit and her wisdom. Nice of you to join us. I’ve been reading the ranting posts of the uber sensitive Holly and can only conclude that she is unaware that she has reading comprehension issues of her own. As I stated, earlier, the reason for her initial blog was not necessary. She felt compelled to defend Bi-Polarism, the problem was, no one was attacking the condition. She states that Alchoholism is a “lifestyle choice,” like opting not to eat red meat, or go green. That’s odd. Mental health and medical professionals have always classified it as a disease. And is a rather nasty one to overcome at that. She indicates that being Bi-Polar is “no box of bunnies.” Neither is being a slobbering drunk and ruining one’s life. I find it amusing that people are this upset because I feel sorry for Mel Gibson. What the Hell is it to all of you anyway? I guess you feel that I am misguided in some way. Well, here’s a news flash. I. Really. Don’t. Care.
I bet he is going to blame “the jews” for this…….
lol – Especially after his wife hires some “Jew” Lawyer to help her get her hands on his cash.
Lots of people defending Gibson here. He’s a jerk. And a cheater, anti-semite, homophobe, and a sexist. I guess some of you have pretty low standards.
He once gave an interview where he said that much as he loved the mother of his children, he knew she was going to hell because she wasn’t Catholic. DUDE. Now, if that’s what his religion teaches, it’s none of our business. But to tell a reporter that, in an interview, that will live on forever and your wife and children and grandchildren will read? That’s terrible. I’ve wondered ever since how that marriage survived.
what! Holy S! lol thank GOD she got some huevos lol
I love it when people pretend that they are better and more virtuous than everyone else. More often than not they tend to have crappy personalities.
do you realize that by judging everyone on here you sound like you think you’re better and more virtuous than the rest of us? you do realize you’re talking down to everyone on here, right?
Ok, kids!
Where or where did all this venom come from??
Seems to me Wendie, for the most part, is sharing a few facts, sprinkled with a liberal dose of opinionated, popular gossip….which I think is her job.
Mel’s wife has been home, taking care of seven, 7, count them, seven of his children, while he, very publicly, has been elsewhere – like not even on the same continent. She might be a bitch, I have no idea. I do know that mothering 7 children is a huge job and she has been doing it. Now, don’t get all huffy about how much help she no doubt has – I am sure she does – it remains true, however, that she has stayed home down under with them.
Secondly, Mel is a sorry excuse for a human being – he is a huge and dangerous bigot and a homophobe who is mean and simply unkind, and he regularly, not just once in a while and then feels horrible about his behavior, no, regularly he gets hammered.
And then he tries to talk other nations into not offering contraception in developing countries, withholding contraception. He has no compassion whatsoever. And let’s not get started on that travesty, the Passion – where he twisted scripture into a tight, violent, ball of manipulation. Bring on the argument if you like, but I warn you read biblical Greek and have several degrees in theology….
Finally, he is a hypocrite and a phony. Wendie gave this man a pass, as I see it. He deserves open ridicule.
As for the Beet site bashing men, I don’t see that. I love men and have no desire to ever see them bashed in any way and would stop reading if that were the case. Then again, TSS might have a valid point that I simply don’t see.
Mel and Chris are, it seems to me, opposite sides of the very same coin.
Go back to the main page and read Beet’s first three posts today about… asshole Jamie Foxx, Douche Reinhardt, and Ashley Tisdale’s boyfriend and then comeback and read your comment.
It’s almost comical.
TSS – I was saying you might be right, which would mean…I was wrong.
Anyway. I did go back and read those posts and what I see is that this site thinks almost everyone is an idiot, male or female.
Which makes me wonder – does being famous make a person idiotic? Maybe so.
My, my. I guess Mel Gibson went and pissed in your Cheerios today. Having all of these degrees in theology, you do, haven’t you heard the one about “judge not lest you be judged?” I think I read it somewhere. Wait! I believe it was in the New Testament! Catholics, and some Evangelicals believe that contraception is a sin. And they are very active at giving their testimony. It is up to the individual who receives this testimony to decide whether or not they agree enough, with what has been said, to change their lives. Mel Gibson can stand on the Rock of Gibraltar, all day long, and yell that it is a sin to use contraception. And just because he does so, it doesn’t mean that the people who listen will necessarily buy into his beliefs. But to get all overwrought over the guy’s theology, and compare him to some sort of oppressor, is a little shrill, and extreme, at least to me. He’s a movie maker, for God’s sake – He’s not the Pope. He doesn’t skewer innocent babies when in his cups. It sounds as if he just slobbers, cheats on his wife and hates himself in the morning. Mel Gibson seems to be a very brilliant, flawed, disturbed, conflicted and imperfect person. That his marriage of nearly three decades has ended is sad. He truly must be an impossible person to live with, for his wife to jettison such a relationship. But having said that, I also see some good in the man and pity him, just a little.
Who the Hell Cares? is Mel Gibson. True/false?
haha. true, or he’s his most loyal follower.
No. I just try to be fair.
Give me a break! Mel Gibsons wife loved every fucking penny of wealth the guy brought her over the many years, especially from the Jesus fable he filmed a few years back. Without him (and her personal fitness trainer) she’d have been some boring suburban housewife with a huge dimpled ass, a drinking problem, and a second mortgage that she couldn’t pay instead of the rich Hollywood divorcee she’s about to flit about as. Wonder how many men (or women) she’s fucked through the years? It works both ways and I have a feeling she ain’t all that clean under scrutiny.
I like Mel and will never understand why people are more upset about what he said (freedom of speech) versus what he did (drunk driving is illegal).
I wish them both well. Almost 30 years is a long, long time.
freedom of speech is great, until it gets into hate speech. And then people tend to get more upset.
yes, you’re right though. People should focus more on his TWO DUIs. His hate speech, however, has clearly just gotten under our skin more.
wendy,I really like your style but please ~ don’t.do.this.anymore.
So you’re saying 29 years of child rearing (with how many nannies, how many chances to ‘get away from it all’ as a result of how much money the guy’s made) and dealing with a racist cheating drunk work out to a half-billion dollars (all told)? You’re kidding right?
If he’s as traditionally Catholic as he claims to be, I don’t think he can ever get married (or date) anyone else ever again… unless he can prove she cheated on him.
To the few who would like to give his drunken Jew bashing a pass I have found that drunks say a lot of stupid this about the here and now but when it comes to concepts and core beliefs they aren’t as creative (that’s what pot is for). Alcohol lowers your inhibitions. It doesn’t make you think up brand new shit. If someone is a racists when he is drunk he is equally as racist when he is sober. Alcohol may make him say what he otherwise knows he shouldn’t but they opinions are all his own.
In vino veritas
Mel Gibson is a turd, I think he gets it from his father. He is an embarassment to his country.
Nice post! Some of these these readers need to chillax…this is a GOSSIP COLUMN not Dr.Phil so please shut your pie hole seriously…WOW Anyone can talk shit about Mel Gibson if they want to, why?! Because it’s f*cking funny and he’s done some stupid shit CASE CLOSED bitches. Stop feeling for him because he made passion of the christ and braveheart (which makes these rumors even funnier by the way)
I hope Mel Gibson’s drunken ugly ass comes storming in on these so called “men” on here bitching and moaning about BULL SHIT and takes a dump on your stupid, stupid pussy faces.
Then I hope he fucks your “wife” while spouting religious phrases.
You sniveling morons.
Tom Cruise? Ha! Iin your dreams. You probably look like Mortimer Snerd. You ovbiously aren’t intellingent. You are, however, coarse, Crude, disgusting, vile, nasty, vulgar, doltish, and in all probability are also flacid. Why don’t you go to the bathroom, now, and relieve your feeble little brain of all of the pressure?
You know what, The Road Warrior is a classic movie so fuck you all.
Who cares if he went a little insane, had dozens of DUIs, hated a few jews, screwed around on his wife, and turned into a raving religious nut.
The Road Warrior gives him a free get-out-of-jail card (and insanity) the rest of his life.
brilliant post, wendie. i really enjoy reading your stuff. love beet, too, of course. but you are more on my wave-length being a mom and all. ;-) and i love your sarcasm. keep up the good work.
He is so horribly unattractive.
and who said mel gibson was “over”? I guess all the people who took the time to post about him! He’s passionate, he’s masculinr, he’s bold, he’s intrepid, he’s sensual,he’s brave, he’s couraguous,he’s intense,he’s kind, he’s generouse/ you obviously have a problem with mel being mel
