Mel Gibson: Last PHOTOS Before Racist Rant Announced

tmz.com:

TMZ has obtained the last photos of Mel Gibson in public -- taken at a Chili's restaurant in Texas -- just days before he went into hiding after news broke of his racial, sexist, and allegedly violent attacks on his baby mama.

In the photos -- taken during the last week of June -- Mel shot a bothered look at the camera as a group of "fans" who recognized the star at the restaurant swarm him. Mel was at the restaurant because it's near the set of a movie he was shooting ... and really, who can resist their signature babyback ribs?

Gibson, David Duke, Fred Phelps--they all sound just like some of the ultra-liberals who obsessively rant and rail against a certain tiny democractic republic in the Middle East...

And this week look for these breaking news stories:

Mel will hold a press conference and tearfully admit, "I've made mistakes, but I have learned there are still many mistakes I can make."
Mel will announce that he is entering residential rehabilitation for "Undisclosed substance abuse problems."
Mel will announce that he is entering a second residential rehabilitation center for treatment of "anger management issues."
Mel will announce that he has retained a trio of grand inquisitors to submit him to "trials of faith" such as being stretched on a rack, and being gored, while "the little people" heckle him as he screams. (Well, no. This one will not happen at least not for less than $20 million and points and syndication rights)
Oksana will retain bottom feeder celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who will promptly call a news conference to announce she has been retained by Oksana.
Mel will announce the establishment of his New Improved Mel Foundation which will "work toward the social improvement of k*kes, sl*pes, s*pics and n*g*ers" (as long as they remember "their place."
Mel will announce that he has re-committed his life to the Traditionalist Roman Catholic Church by becoming a lay-brother or more correctly, a "lay-any-woman."

Well, he must have gained a few new fans after his latest rants...And lost maybe none (I doubt there were many rational ones left among his fans). Though some people will really be struggled while making their decision such as the ones working for the Fox.

It's rumored the Birthers/Teabaggers are in negotiations with him to be their newest 2012 Prez candidate with Michele Bachmann or Orly Taitz as VP candidate.

Palin's just too moderate for mel and the Birthers/Teabaggers.

Hollywood makes Stars and then CRUCIFY them mercilessly for gross indiscretions while a certain segment of society help nail them to the cross.

This has nothing to with Hollywood, and everything to do with a woman scorned. Old Mel did'nt realize just how powerful one very angry woman can be when she wants to be. How's he going to recover from this debacle? He has no less than three movies in the can, he was well on his way to his anti-semitic and sexist rant becoming one faded memory. People were even beginning to forgive him a little, but for Oksana.

Mel seems to have always had that just-barely-contained-irrationality look in his eyes. I've seen it in every photo of him since he first came on the scene.

So, excepting Maverick, has he played anything other than a borderline psychotic in any of his movies?

What a horrible invasion of privacy this tape.

[RasputinsLiver]

I agree, even though I don't particularly like Gibson. These tapes and their bneing leaked seems very calculated and I would agree with many who say that, although his behavior is reprehensible, she is shaking him down. She apparently did much the same thing to actor Timothy Dalton, got him to impregnate her, gave her a kid and is now on the hook for years.

I think Mel's a fine director (Apocalypto), decent actor in movies like Hamlet and Braveheart, I nonetheless have always gotten a bad feeling about the guy. He reminds me of my mother's second husband, a brutal mental and physical tyrant who, in the end, put my mother in the hospital and nearly killed her.

I agree. What he said, he said on the phone in private, not directly to anybody or for anybody's else's ears but Oksana's. She betrayed him and destroyed his image even more by doing this. None of us could withstand this sort of scrutiny, I know I could'nt, I'm not gonna lie. This can be done to anyone of note, and it's all too easy to say something off color and have it made public.

Am I the only one that is starting to wonder about the source of these claims? Nothing has been proven, no tape has been released to the public, yet he is thrown under the bus. What's next, he didn't tip a gay waiter? Yes, it's been proven about his drunken rant during his DUI, but the rest of these are unsubstantiated. Remember, if it can happen to him, it will happen to you. Me, I'd rather wait till I see some facts before I put a boot up his arse.

Exactly.

It is apparent that Hollywood is trying to destroy Mel Gibson, and TMZ
and other outlets are helping to facilitate that destruction.

Even if the tapes are released, most probably they will be taken out of context.

If you want to hear real racism, listen to some of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
to see the vitriol in full fledged action, check out wikileaks.

Why is there ALWYAS someone on this site that has to compare each and every domestic story to Iraq and afghanistan. Why politicize it? Mel Gibson is a racist. That has nothing to do with our soldiers or military.

Mel Gibson isnt being shot at, he isnt under extreme stress of tour after tour of deadly combat. In my book, a soldier can say whatever the heck he wants as he is being SHOT at.

"...Hollywood is trying to destroy Mel Gibson..."

There actually could be something in what you say as we know that the mainstream Hollywood big wigs, those Jewish big wigs, were not at all happy with his "Passion Of The Christ" film in which Jews seemed to be shown in less the stellar light as perfect people whom some god chose above all others. Dunno, never saw the film as I'm no Christer.

And it sounds like with the passing of his immediate manager that the head of the management agency, a Jew, had long wanted to get rid of Mel.

Hate to break it to you but the tape has been released and is on radaronline.com. Listen to it and tell me this guy isn't a psychopath.

Nice icon -- maybe should go home tonight and give 'Sell Out' a spin -- I have the original album on Decca and they used a different solo on 'Our Love Was' :(

Ah, Radaronline. They're about as credible as Weekly World News. I listened to the tape, I can go on with my day. Quentin Tarantino has dropped the N-Bomb more in a single movie scene, does that make him racist? What has Mel done to the Black community to stop us from progressing. I guess I'm more tiffed at the fact that every time something is deemed racist, real racism slides right through the cracks. As far as his relationship, it's obvious that they shouldn't be together. If she goes back to him after that brow beating, it's on her.

He got annoyed after signing a couple of autographs? Well, since the ladies don't look White, I can see Gibson getting irked and fortunately for Mel, his time of signing autographs might be over. Unless you wanna put on a white sheet and join Pat Buchanan at some of his "meetings". (:
