GIBSON GETS MAD OVER ANTI-SEMITIC QUESTIONS
MEL GIBSON was left fuming during a recent U.S. TV interview - after a Je= wish reporter quizzed him over his alleged drunken anti-Semitic rant in 2= 006.
The Lethal Weapon actor is back in front of the cameras to promote new = crime thriller, Edge Of Darkness, and was being interviewed by broadcaste= r Sam Rubin for Los Angeles’ KTLA 5.
After starting out pleasantly, the interview turned nasty when Rubin - = a Jew - asked the star about the time he reportedly made a series of unpl= easant remarks to the Jewish cop who arrested him for drink driving over = three years ago.
Rubin asked the actor, "Some people will welcome you back, some people = will say you should never come back." A seemingly offended Gibson sat forward and angrily asked, "Why?", befo= re Rubin answered, "Because of what happened before. The remarks that wer= e attributed to you." Gibson returned, "The remarks that were attributed to me. I didn’t nece= ssarily make those comments," before asking, "I gather you have a dog in = this fight? Do you have a dog in this fight? Or are you impartial?" The interview then continued after Rubin changed the direction of his q= uestions.
Gibson publicly apologised following the incident and the arrest was ex= punged from his record last year (09), after he served three years probat= ion. He also quit drinking.
