Melody ( NOT Mel G) has pegged the situation correctly.

As a woman, I find it inexcusable for a man to be abusive to a woman. Whether Mel G. was a renter or a buyer, he does not have the right to speak to anyone the way he did.
The OW is a bottom-feeder, agreed, but as a woman, I cannot condone this kind of violence. This is a situation that he willingly entered, and he needs to show some class and send an NC letter, and stop threatening to burn OW's house down after she blows him.
And even in the middle of my FWH's A, I don't think he was ever foggy enough to spew that kind of garbage at the OW or threaten her with physical violence. And to be honest, I'm glad he doesn't have that side to him. (Wow, just said something nice about FWH--go figure)
Mel is a deeply disturbed man, and he shouldn't be getting any kind of a free pass just because he's trashing the OW and going back to his wife. He has a history of being out of control, and running away to hide in Australia is a cowardly way out.
And Marshmallow, I don't see how you can justify that it's ok for Mel to use the language he did with that cop just because he ~thought~ he was jewish (he wasn't, by the way).

From 2006 (when he was still with his wife, by the way)
"The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"

The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"

A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"

We're told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***" Deputy Mee.

Yeah, sounds like a real prize.
And the latest tape CONFIRMS he beat her and called his own son a p**sy. Great guy.

I'm not excusing it, but I see it as a job hazard of adultery. Most affairs die within 2 years because the traits that made them possible, deceit, thoughtlessness and dishonesty poison them. I think we are probably seeing what happens in many of these situations.

Renter/Freeloader is never an excuse, but rather a description of the nature of adulterous relationships .... Which helps EXPLAIN ( not excuse ) why Mel G's wife says Mel never was abusive to her.

The A relationship is, by nature, organically potentially abusive.

Might not be the end of OX and Mel.
Sounds like they are a little emotional in the transcripts and the Takers are riled up.

Doesn't sound like the Natural Death of the affair yet. Maybe.

Time'll tell.

If Mel and his 'spiritually' void wife (he mentions his justification for dumping her as her lack of spiritual interest) reconsile, he has a very long way to go to have the fog lift.

I agree also.

I know i told my h "once the newness wears off you will regret your decision". He said he thought about that comment the 2 nights he stayed at her house and realized i was right so he begged me to come home.

I think the "newness" has worn off for Mel for sure.

The people I feel the sorriest for are the children in this mess-- MG's COM and his OC.

Robin legally separated from him in 2007 after the whole rant on the Jews and from one of the tapes.

The other woman claim to have given him 3 years of her life, so this was going on for three years.

This is just my opinion but I think Mel (serial cheater) and Ox's relationship would have sputter out eventually, but when she became pregnant I think Robin a devout Catholic saw this as her way out her marriage with Mel and ran for the hills.

Mel thought he could just go on with his career, and I truly think he would have pulled this off before The Passion of The Christ, but having made this film and his actions showing showing what a hypocrite he is his film career stalled and half of his money and gone, and what does he really have to show for it, a gold digging other woman who he has to pay $$ for the next 18 years to.

He has no career

No family

No friends

Half his money

A child with a woman he abhors

His fan base is dwindling fast

His fans now know that he is a misogynist and a racist for a fact tapes can't lie he said those things, and he can not take them back.

Agree swan's song. I was a big fan, and even tried to excuse him when he called a cop "sugar tits," but this is it. No more Mel movies for my family.

Where did I do that? I said he was a bully. And said his words were offensive.

As a human being I find it inexcusable.

However, I am much more offended at his adultery and the destruction of his family.

What played out w/ his OW sounded very much to me like the natural death of something ugly to begin w/.

I agree. The whole thing is ugly. His rude words are probably the LEAST ugly thing to me. When ya crawl in the pig pen, it is gonna get dirty! Pigs tend to get dirty when they waller around in the pig pen.

Dr H and Joyce were discussing this on the radio show recently. Dr H said he isn't surprised at the rants due to Mel's personality type (based on the movie role he typically plays) and also due to the fact that it is an affair.

There was more but I was multitasking (half-listening) and I can't remember anything more than that...

Yup. Yet in the media, I have not heard ONE word about how this OW was an OW. Or that she helped Mel break up his family.

Just about how she is a victim and how awful Mel's WORDS are.

Not one mention about how he and OW's ACTIONS were awful...or wrong.

Yeah, If it were a guy friend of mine I would get him help if I couldn't convince him by force. You don't make excuses for people who are out of control, you remove them from the situation, one way or another. I would hope that he would thank me later.

He needs help, I hope he gets it for his familys sake. I agree with what Melody said about the renter attitude, she pretty well nailed it. Thats his excuse, but its no good reason, and he knows it. For everybodys sake, I hope it all comes down hard on him.

I remember that. It was a mess but like all the other scumbags in Hollywood he managed to work his way back into acting. The sad thing is the public has a short memory span. I bet I could come up with dozens of celebrities & politicians that have fallen from grace and managed to recover.

I'm not going to engage on this with you anymore, Marshmallow. YOu've actually gone so far as to edit some of your posts, and then come back and say, "Where did I say that?" I don't need to edit my posts in an abstract argument like this, but suffice it to say, you made comments about the cop, and you said he DIDN'T hit her. HE DID. He admitted it on tape released today.
Yes, the OW is a worthless hag. And in my opinion, the two of them deserve each other.
