• You may remember multi-hyphenate Mel Gibson as that asshole who assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their infant daughter and then later sent her abuse ridden violent rants but did you remember that he is also a virulent anti-semite? Well Seth Rogen

In what world does he look like Santa?!?!

I just saw this, too:

Mel Gibson and Kate Bosworth are set to star in #ForceOfNature, an action film that Michael Polish will direct from a script by Cory Miller https://t.co/D22C2CImSj

What the fuck? Did we run out of actors?

Look at your choices, Kate

[schmankerl]

He looks so legitimately evil in this picture, jeez.

[scriptedending]

I think they knew exactly what they were doing with that photo choice, and I approve.

Jfc.
This also reminds me that Vance Waggoner from Bojack Horeseman is definitely based on him.

more celebs need to call this disgusting pos out

[ms_mmelissa]

IA but unfortunately I feel like things mostly lean the other way where I've heard more celebs defend him and want to work with him than the opposite.

[queen_bartonia]

Yeah, he has a lot of high-level friends still defending him. He was sitting at Matt Damon's table at the GG the year he was nom'ed. In 2016, I think? Jodie Foster still defends him. Etc, etc.

re: matt damon, to be fair actors don't really get to decide what table they sit at, the hfpa works out the seating arrangements. eg some movies with lots of nominations and huge casts get full tables, but other movies that only get a couple of nods will only get a couple of seats at a table, so other movies/casts in the same situation end up placed together.

I remember Gaby Hoffmann also calling him out on antisemitism around the time she started making movies again

Good on Seth
