EXCLUSIVE: MEL GIBSONTMZ has learned that Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunk driving, hurling religious epithets. TMZ has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department had the initial report doctored to keep the real story under wraps.
TMZ has four pages of the original report prepared by the arresting officer in the case, L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy James Mee. According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, "My life is f****d." Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, "I'm not going to get in your car," and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.
Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."
The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"
The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"
A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar ?"
We're told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***" Deputy Mee.
Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call. He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn't get a dial tone, we're told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony vandalism. We're told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.
Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing Gibson's rampage and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt it was too "inflammatory." A lieutenant and captain then got involved and calls were made to Sheriff's headquarters. Sources say Mee was told Gibson's comments would incite a lot of "Jewish hatred," that the situation in Israel was "way too inflammatory." It was mentioned several times that Gibson, who wrote, directed, and produced 2004's "The Passion of the Christ," had incited "anti-Jewish sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is this really worth all that?"
We're told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information -- a report that would be locked in the watch commander's safe.
Initially, a Sheriff's official told TMZ the arrest occurred "without incident." On Friday night, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told TMZ: "The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigation into the arrest of Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be complete and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing will be sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this suspect or any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will be left out."
Gibson's rep Alan Nierob tells TMZ: "We are unaware of any of the information you mentioned in your email pertaining to a police report."

If this turns out to be true, which is still up in the air for me, Mel Gibson's career could be over. He is one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood today and that tenacity will most certainly at least be tested. Wow this is going to be the new hottness story for some time.
Its significance is also echoed in the fact the story was broken by a relatively unknown blog and will cement them as a veritable force in journalism that aren't to be taken lightly. Also as another achievement for online journalism in general much like that of the New Replubic scandal. |

Saturday, July 29, 2006
MALIBU, Calif. — Mel Gibson issued a lengthy statement Saturday apologizing for his drunk driving arrest and saying he has battled alcoholism throughout his life.
Gibson also apologized for what he said were "despicable" statements he made to the deputies who arrested him early Friday morning on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
"I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested," he said in a statement issued by his publicist. "I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse."
Publicist Alan Nierob declined to elaborate beyond the statement.

| Can we get any other sources quoting the antisemitc remarks. Im actually genuinely interested in this, as I am sure a lot of people are that have been made aware of it. I would like to do an article for my school paper about Mel Gibson being an antisemite and what that means when he produces movies like the passion. I am trying to find more on his father (a blatant antisemite and holocaust denier) and his relationship. If anybody has links for anything that would be useful it'd be much appreciated. |

Had he said something about italians, asians, blacks or hispanics NO ONE would even bother with this.
They give him credibility when they publish his story though.
Nothing to see here folks, you can all go back inside now. |

| ogv, the reaction would've been much the same, probably far worse if he had said anythign about blacks. |
|
|
| ogvh5150 |
Blacks are responsible for all the wars in the world? I don't think so.
Arguing about Mel will never ever make him go away. It will only lend credence to his story. |

You said if he said something about blacks, etc. If he said, blacks are stupid and a bunch of criminal, are you office black? I think you would have an even bigger firestorm than now.
And what exactly are you talking about "his story".
I think the more public facts become about what a quack he is the better, as many many people have followed him as a role model, at least in the Christian right. |

+1 &
No one needs to know about what's going on in the Middle East since no one gave a damn about Mel up until now since his movie caused the last Mel Gibson mania.
A convenient distraction.
Go back in your homes people, there is nothing to see here now. |

Wait... wait... please let me get this right. You are insinuating this Mel Gibson issue is what, a Wag The Dog like cover created to divert our attention from the middle east?
And metal, solid point bud, the old it doesn't matter cause they're idiots. Glad we got two of our greatest thinkers on this one. As ogv said, nothing to see here. |
