What on earth is going on with Mel Gibson?

[Betty Blue]

Oh Mel, not again.

Mel Gibson Rage Recording in Costa Rica (Audio)

What is happening to him? Are we watching this man fall apart at the seams? I don't get it...???

Wow, that was awful, i couldn't listen to it all, i turned it off. To be completely honest there have been times in my life where i have shouted my head off and not even in a very coherent manner (maybe not to the same degree though), so i identify a little.
He is clearly in pain.

 

[Turtledove]

Erm....he seems a bit bipolar to me.... I do think he needs professional help.

Just think, he will never reciprocate the attention you are paying him.

There was not a need of reciprocation, but he may all the same in a universal kind of way. It was more about empathy and identity and possibly a sprinkle of humanitarianism.

Let's bring it right down to earth - we need to reciprocate to communicate. A universal kind of way won't cut it. Or pehaps you would prefer empathy, identity with a sprinkle of humanitarianism, like cupcake sprinkles.

In the case of Mel you might be right, it would appear that he is getting nowhere fast, but that would be for his individual benefit as you have taken the universal away. If you then want to multiply that by the whole of humanity ...could be a plan.
And yes... cupcakes sprinkles all round please.

 

[Thalassa]

Um after his latest incident I would say it's either Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder. He either has some chemically driven mood disorder, or some deeply entrenched emotional problem.

Or he's on crystal meth.

Who knows. The dude has some serious rage issues.

 

[xisnotx]

He sounded a bit drunk.

Maybe drunk and angry can lead you to say some really awful things..

Also, what's with the talk of her "being possessed" by him, and her "belonging to" him?

 

[KDude]

I used to kind of think he was kind of strange/unique for someone in hollywood.. for being hardcore catholic, had a bunch of kids, and his wife wasn't another celebrity. Must've slipped and lost all that. Now he blames everybody, including God.

I still think the last 10 minutes of the Road Warrior is the greatest thing in movie history.

 

[Lexicon]

He should join a grindcore band.

 

[Laurie]

I read but don't remember where (such great info) that other people in Hollywood have the same kind of stuff going on but that Mel gets thrown under the bus because his beliefs differ from mainstream Hollywood.

 

[Ginkgo]

I don't think he can handle the infamy we're fostering in this thread, and I think he's going to hurt someone or himself unless he gets help quick.

I agree. Tom Cruise. "Look at the crazy man, we don't understand him, so we won't encourage his immature behavior like we do the rest."

Or Charlie Sheen. I wonder what he has to do to get Gibson's bad press.

Speaking of which, I think all of these actors are the same type. What type that is, I don't know. Maybe insane ENFJ. And maybe they just good at acting STP. Or maybe they're really STPs, and there's something about Hollywood that forces them to be ENFJ.. until they implode.
