<\/a>This photo kind-of says it all.<\/p><\/div>\n
I\u2019m totally not defending Mel–he\u2019s a complete and utter scumbag in every form. And he should be locked-up for the physical abuse alone, if those allegations are proven to be true. But I just want the hypocrites of the world to think about this: what would your<\/em> angry fights sound like to the outside world?<\/p>\n I\u2019m from Brooklyn. Everyone <\/em>there yells that they\u2019re going to kill someone! Strangers have yelled it at me, and I\u2019m sure that I have as well. It\u2019s just ranting and raving. I even have one friend from there who tells everyone he\u2019s \u201cgonna hit\u201d them \u201cover the head with a phone.\u201d In his case, we just laugh. Mel\u2019s is rage, so it\u2019s not to be taken lightly, which I\u2019m not–I\u2019m just pointing out that some relationships are so awful that they can drive someone to lunacy, as this one seems to have done. But we\u2019re not in it, so we don\u2019t know what actually went on, outside of the calls taped by one side of the equation.<\/p>\n Since the woman is the one who taped these calls, she had the upper hand in the conversations. She knew how she should sound. And I have a feeling she knew that Mel would go off on her. Only she knows what plan she had.<\/p>\n I know a tiny drop what fighting with a mate can be like because, both being from the east coast, Mr. X and I can be hot-headed with each other. Once, when a Brooklyn pal of mine who knew that we used to fight a lot, heard us yelling at each other, she said, in her thick Brooklyn accent, \u201cYou guys aren\u2019t even fighting–you\u2019re just cursing each other out!\u201d We both shrugged and said, \u201cYeah? And?\u201d It was just our east coast way of venting. There was really nothing wrong with it. But then again, we never maligned other ethnic groups, let alone our own.<\/p>\n On that same topic, I once asked Mr. X if he had ever had phone sex. To my shock, he answered, \u201cAll the time.\u201d I demanded to know, \u201cWith whom???\u201d He said, \u201cWith you<\/em>.\u201d He explained that when we\u2019re fighting on the phone, every other sentence is \u201cFU\u201d and we tell each other to go blank ourselves. Very funny. Unfortunately, Mel Gibson\u2019s situation is not light-hearted like ours is.<\/p>\n I agree that most of what crazy, sick Mel said was beyond offensive. But, really, I thought there was nothing wrong with telling her that her breast implants were disgusting and that she looked trampy. Who among us hadn\u2019t thought that when we first saw pictures of the younger woman he was leaving his long-term marriage for? It would have been horrible if he had been yelling at her to get<\/em> implants, not that she shouldn\u2019t<\/em> have them!<\/p>\n And here\u2019s one curious thing: when I heard the first one that was released, I told Mr. X that the woman\u2019s part was added later. I made him listen to it over and over because it sounded like a bad acting job, like when re-enactments of situations are done on magazine shows. It sounded like she was totally acting (and not well) when she did the speech that began with \u201cWhat man does this?\u201d (Or some words like that.)<\/p>\n I just figured that whomever was releasing the tapes had had Oksana re-create her dialog because it was either hard to hear or understand, or had some offensive words in it. But I was positive that her part had been recorded separately. So, when Mel\u2019s lawyers announced that the tapes are edited, I went, \u201cOf course! That\u2019s why Oksana\u2019s parts sound so unnatural!\u201d<\/p>\n Again, I have no interest in this situation: I just wanted to break it down for y\u2019all. I\u2019m really not into this whole spectacle of the crazy drama of a couple of strangers–it\u2019s just not our business. (And haven\u2019t we all had to listen to friends tell us of their relationship histrionics at some point in our lives?) And it\u2019s not exactly news, either, that Mel Gibson is a lunatic. I couldn\u2019t believe that anyone let him work in the business after the \u201cJew\u201d debacle.<\/p>\n My only interest in the tapes is because I\u2019m always into being a detective. [And would still love to be one, professionally, actually. I have a proposed partner and the name of the agency all picked-out.] And that I want to remind everyone: the next time you\u2019re arguing with someone, make sure that they\u2019re not taping it, or you, too, may sound just as crazy. Just tell yourself not to \u201cMel Gibson it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MEL GIBSON TAPES \u00a0 At the risk of some of you thinking I\u2019m crazy, I do feel that I have to put in my two cents on the Mel Gibson tapes. I\u2019m not as aghast at them as most strangers seem to be, especially after hearing just the first one, where he tells his girlfriend<\/p>\n
