After listening to the recent audio of Mel Gibson arguing with his ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva, I can’t help but feel bad for Mel Gibson. It’s obvious that he is struggling with demons and doesn’t have a good woman who understands him. This immature girl Oksana Grigorieva had no emotion, she was talking to an emotional man and instigating and fueling his anger with trigger words.
I can see why Gibson would be mad and by Oksana taping a conversation she had with Mel Gibson it shows she isn’t trustworthy and didn’t respect his privacy by airing out this recording.
I am not okay with a man hitting or physically abusing a woman and I think Mel is very wrong for that. But let’s not throw Mel under the bus and make him a pariah. In 2001, NBA basketball star Jason Kidd beat up his wife Joumana Kidd in front of their son it wasn’t until she called the police that Kidd started to change. Instead of pressing charges and taking Jason Kidd to the bank she cared about her husband at the time and helped him get help. When Jason Kidd went into therapy the therapist revealed that Jason Kidd was under stress from his job and had a verbally abusive coach and instead of venting and talking about the pressure from his job to his wife he bottled it up and took it out physically on her. Since then, he has never laid his hands on another woman but Jason filed for divorce in 2007 citing “extreme cruelty”, paranoia, and jealousy from Joumana, so, it goes to show men can change with help and they are not the only ones capable of abuse.
Mel Gibson is possibly suffering from stress and paranoia. In society men who show emotions are not considered masculine, even some women frown upon this. This could be the the culprit behind Gibson’s temper and what’s driving him to drink and take up smoking again. I hope Gibson drops his pride and actually seeks therapy, he can set a good example to abusive men by seeking help.
In the tape recorded audio Gibson says he wants a woman and not a girl, talks about his soul and soul mates, it shows he still believes in true love. Gibson is a very passionate artist and artists tend to be hard to understand and many are hopeless romantics at heart. Mel seems to be setting too high of standards for the women he meets. He talks about how well he treated Oksana and how she couldn’t even show gratefulness for the good things he’s done for her. Gibson needs to understand and as a fellow Catholic we can’t always expect everyone to reciprocate and show appreciation for the good things we’ve done for them. Many times people are not as giving as ourselves and we have to realize this. We must do good things for others from the heart and not expect things in return, it should be done because we want to do them and if people appreciate it that’s a bonus. If Oksana didn’t show you the gratefulness that you deserved, then, instead of fighting with her move onto another woman with class because she is not worth your heart.
Mel needs to realize there are plenty of beautiful young Catholic ladies with morals out there who would appreciate him and take good care of him. He must also realize he cannot change a wild girl like Oksana into something he wants her to be.
It is clear that Oksana set this up and its completely unethical of her to tape a private conversation between her and Mel, instead, she should have shown some compassion and stopped when he was getting mad and went to the police personally without telling him.
On the tape she sounds emotionless and eggs an irritated Mel Gibson on by pushing his buttons and recording it to gain favor from the public and to help her in court so she can get more money. Oksana is taking advantage of his already damaged public image.
Mel Gibson is a caring man who has helped countless other people and celebrities in need, he has shown support to Robert Downey Jr. and Britney Spears when they were going through their drug problems.
In the audio recording, Gibson shows us why it is important for a woman to be compassionate towards her husband or lover and to truly be there for him when he needs understanding and it also shows us that you cannot always trust people in the privacy of your own home.
Why did she only tape a certain part of the conversation? Why didn’t she describe what led Mel Gibson to get so furious at her? She conveniently set this man up and it is a shame if people disown him at this time. We are not perfect we are all human beings and Mr. Gibson was just going through a lovers quarrel with a woman who clearly didn’t deserve him.
The fans need to show unconditional support to Gibson and not blacklist him over him and his ex-girlfriend fighting on the phone. He is only human and like everyone he makes mistakes, he just needs understanding and people who will be honest with him in a caring way.
