‘Ho-Ho-Holocaust denier’
In recent years, Gibson has lost favour with fans over allegations of domestic violence against his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, and his highly offensive comments.
Ranging from racist and anti-Semitic to homophobic, the 64-year-old has left few minorities untouched.
Earlier this year, actress Winona Ryder spoke candidly about a time in the 1990s where Gibson called her an “oven dodger” and made a derogatory remark about her gay friend.
“We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends and Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS’?” Ryder told The Times.
“And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you’?”
Though he has vehemently denied Ryder’s allegation, the statement wouldn’t be too left of centre for Gibson, who famously shouted that “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” during his 2006 DUI arrest.
Actor Seth Rogen weighed in on Fatman and called Gibson a “Ho-ho-Holocaust denier”, and said he was “only surprised by Mel Gibson’s ‘oven dodger’ comment because it acknowledges the Holocaust actually happened”.
