Having dinner at Geoffrey's in 2006 the night Mel "Mr Malibu this is my town' Gibson had his infamous run in with the police in Malibu. Word made it back to the restaurant the he was making an azz of himself down the street etc.

Evidently by that time his ego and claimed ownership of all that is Hollywood had rubbed quite a few major players the wrong way and they were already distancing themselves from him. Substance abuse, isolation and 'yes men' can really do a number on anyone in his position. According to a few guys 'in the biz' at the bar there that night felt that MG and his half azzed attempts at apologies compounded the resentment of the decision makers, evident by his last pathetic B movie released a year ago.

Its a shame such a talented guy who at one point in time could do no wrong has fallen so far. I don't see him recovering his professional career from this for quite some time, if ever. He alienated all the wrong people with his contempt.

Also, his "alleged" assault of a woman (inexcusable in any event), in addition to these taped conversations may have sealed his fate in tinsel town, and for that he's fired from any time or money coming from me supporting in his movie career.

He ought to go back to Aus, get clean, deal with his demons and become a philanthropist. Then and only then possibly come back to US (Ca needs his taxed income)!
