Gibson's drunken antisemitic comments to a woman police offer

no mention of Gibson's drunken antisemitic comments to a woman police offer in the controversy section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:5600:5AC:8C83:2820:3FFC:4A14 (talk) 17:38, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's under personal life, included as part of the section on his alcohol and legal issues. I agree that it probably makes more sense to have it in the controversy section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.24.247.59 (talk) 04:44, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article currently exaggerates the racial element in his comments, saying, "Gibson climaxed with the words, [...]" This is not true. The TMZ article describes things he said after, asking a sergeant "What the f*** do you think you're doing?" and a female sergeant "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?" This Wikipedia article also says he 'further apologized for his "despicable" behavior', when to be accurate he said that what he said was despicable, not his actions (which he described as "belligerent"). This is also in the context of the 2006 Lebanon War, which had started 2 weeks before, and in which 44 Israeli civilians, and 900 Lebanese civilians, were killed. 2601:600:8500:5B1:8C3A:2804:2245:756C (talk) 18:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He said that in a drunken stupor. Check his interview with Diane Sawyer. He does apologize. 74.90.110.7 (talk) 19:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

Someone has that he was raised "Sedevacantist", but his quote in the next sentence says that he accepts the authority of the chair of Peter. That is a contradiction. Anyway, he got a little crazy in the past few years, let us pray for him and a speedy return to the church.74.90.110.7 (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He was apparently raised in some kind of sedevacantist tradition by his father. I'm not at all surprised by contradictions when it comes to matter like these. I may very well have been the person who raised that because I remember editing on that particular matter before on this article. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the line that reads "is an Australian-American actor" should read "is an Irish-American actor". Mel Gibson is half Irish on his mother's side and has dual Irish-American citizenship.

i was thinking exactly the same thing. I am Australian and have searched around. Gibson has an AO (0rder of Australia) given in the 90s, which might suggest he has citizenship - however a few of those each year do go to non Australians, and this could be the case with him. He did vote in the 1999 referendum on Australian independence from the UK - which is a more plausible reason to suggest he has Australian citizanship. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000154/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm
