Winona Ryder On Mel Gibson - "He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic"
Winona Ryder On Mel Gibson

"I remember, like, fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk. 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. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, 'He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic.' No one believed me!" - Winona Ryder, speaking to GQ Magazine.

2. "Oven dodgers"????

I thought I had heard just about every bigoted epithet there was, but I've never heard that one. My God. What an asshole.

3. My reaction exactly.
I've never heard that before. It's really in a category all by itself. Other epithets dehumanize, but this one implies something horrifying and nauseating.

4. I believe his father is a Holocaust denier
He may have gotten it from him.

7. No belief about it, his father is a denier of the first rank
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutton_Gibson

Gibson garnered widespread outrage when remarks questioning how the Nazis could have disposed of six million bodies during the Holocaust were printed in a March 2003 New York Times Magazine article.

In his interview for the article, he dismissed historical accounts that six million Jews were exterminated: "Go and ask an undertaker or the guy who operates the crematorium what it takes to get rid of a dead body," he said. "It takes one liter of petrol and 20 minutes. Now, six million?"

Across the table during the interview, his wife, Joye, who had been quiet for most of the visit, suddenly looked up and "cheerfully piped in 'There weren't even that many Jews in all of Europe,'"

"Anyway, there were more after the war than before", Hutton Gibson added.

"The entire catastrophe was manufactured, said Hutton, as part of an arrangement between Hitler and 'financiers' to move Jews out of Germany. Hitler 'had this deal where he was supposed to make it rough on them so they would all get out and migrate to Israel because they needed people there to fight the Arabs,' he said".

8. Like anyone cares what a washed up kleptomaniac says.
Besides, we all knew what kind of person Mel Gibson is.

9. Aw c'mon
Winona Ryder is an addict who steals.

Mel Gibson is an addict who, if given the chance, would be married to Ilsa Koch.

14. No, everyone believed her
they just didn't want to say anything about it because 15 years ago, Mel was a money-making machine.
