Mel Gibson FINALLY TALKS On Leaked Oksana Tapes

Mel Gibson says in his first interview since the taped conversations between him and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva were released. Gibson says that he's never treated anyone "badly or in a discriminatory way," but that he doesn't "blame some people for thinking that though, from the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes, which have been edited." He adds: "You have to put it all in the proper context of being in an irrationally, heated discussion at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship."


Gibson said the Leaked Oksana Tapes of phone calls leaked a year ago were edited, adding; "It's one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn't represent what I truly believe or how I've treated people my entire life."

Report from Deadline Hollywood and explaining that the Oksana tapes were made in "one terribly awful moment in time :

WEINER: Don’t you find that a lot of your industry friends have different political beliefs than you?
GIBSON: Nobody is the same. The whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. I’ll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and they’re all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. I’m not out there banging a drum for candidates. But I have supported a candidate and it’s a whole other world. Once you’ve been exposed to it, once or twice or however many times, if you know the facts and see how they’re presented, it’s mind-boggling. It’s a very scary arena to be in, but I do vote. I go in there and pull the lever. It’s kind of like pulling the lever and watching the trap door fall out from beneath you. Why should we trust any of these people? None of them ever deliver on anything. It’s always disappointing.

Gibson also claimed that he had 'never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality—period'.
