The Other Side Of Mel

Mel Gibson is the quintessential guy's guy. He's got classic good looks, but he's rugged enough without looking too pretty. He's always come across as a regular guy who is talented, funny and smart. Unfortunately, it appears that Mel has another side to him that his adoring fans don't often get to see. As the story unfolds regarding his recent run-in with Los Angeles County Sheriffs in Malibu, Mel was not just allegedly driving under the influence, but apparently had allegedly made some very "despicable"(his own word describing his behavior) things to deputies during his arrest. Apparently, L.A. County Sheriff's watchdog will possibly launch an investigation regarding a cover up of Mel's behavior during his encounter which allegedly includes anti-semetic language. According to one report, Mel allegedly said "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" and asked one deputy, "Are you a Jew?". Some PR reps are foretelling a possible decline in the actor/director's popularity for this behavior, but others are saying that Hollywood has a very short memory (which is very true!). Of course, there are denials from several parties that there is absolutely no cover-up whatsoever, but stay tuned to see how this story unfolds and whether Mel's career will survive.
