Winoa Ryder On Mel Gibson: He's Anti-Semitic And Homophobic

Winona Ryder, featured in the latest issue of GQ, talks about her long past in Hollywood -- and her horrifying run-in with Mel Gibson. She claims that she knew of the star's alleged intolerance far before anyone else.

"I remember, like, fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk," she recalls to the magazine. I was with my friend, who's gay. He made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about 'oven dodgers,' but I didn't get it.

"I'd never heard that before," Ryder continues. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, 'He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic.' No one believed me!"

Since, Gibson has been derided for multiple racist diatribes, and is now suffering a very public anger meltdown.

Btw, I always thought she was a beautiful young woman.

evinces a kind of sweetness, in her roles and in interviews. I've always liked her.



Gibson's a nasty prick...I'm surprised that he's lasted in Hollywood as long as he has.

because not condemning a line in a movie about electric cars being gay- a line she didn't write- is just the same as referring to Jews as "oven dodgers" .

I detest false equivalency.

It's disturbing and should be condemned but doesn't rise to the kind of gay jokes Mel Gibson must tell...

I bet.... :sarcasm:

Mel's father may have played a part in his nuttiness.

Daddy Gibson is a Catholic who found the post Vatican II church "too liberal" and so founded his own "traditionalist" church.

You can probably extrapolate from there.:eyes:

.

is a legitimate mental illness and I understand she's been treated for her illness and is currently in recovery. Good for her!

Winona isn't telling the world something we don't already know.

several years now...

and for years, his public image was so at odds with what has emerged.

He always struck me as a sunny, easy going guy...Of all the actors I might have imagined as Awful...He'd probably be last.

Just goes to show ya..books, covers and all that..:shrug:

I watch his movies on TV sometimes, but I won't pay to see him.
