Mel Gibson is denying renewed allegations of anti-Semitic comments leveled against him
00:04
by Winona Ryder.
00:07
In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, the actress claimed that 25 years ago, Gibson
00:11
used an anti-Semitic slur in an apparent reference to her Jewish heritage.
00:15
She notes in the interview that she was at a party with her good friend when Gibson turned
00:18
to them and made a homophobic remark to her friend.
00:21
She continued saying,
00:22
And then something came up about Jews, and added that's when the actor made the anti-Semitic
00:27
remark.
00:28
The actress claims that Gibson later tried to apologize to her.
00:31
Ryder made a similar accusation in 2010 in an interview with GQ magazine.
00:34
However, Gibson's rep spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, saying that Ryder's story is 100%
00:39
untrue, saying,
00:40
His rep added also she lied about him trying to apologize to her back then.
00:49
He did reach out to her many years ago to confront her about her lies, and she refused to address
00:54
it with him.
00:55
She pushed back Tuesday afternoon on Gibson's denial, and said she stood by her memory of
00:59
the interaction.
01:00
In a statement to THR, she said,
01:02
I believe in redemption and forgiveness and hope that Mr. Gibson has found a healthy way
01:06
to deal with his demons, but I am not one of them.
01:09
Around 1996, my friend Kevin O'Coin and I were on the receiving end of his hateful
01:13
words.
01:14
Back in 2006, Gibson had made a number of anti-Semitic remarks while being arrested for drunk driving,
01:29
saying in part, Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.
01:33
Although he apologized for the incident, he was essentially blacklisted from Hollywood
01:37
for a number of years before re-emerging with a few acting roles in his directorial comeback,
01:41
2016's Hacksaw Ridge.
