Mike Tyson On Mel Gibson

mike tyson weighs in on mel gibson

There's been all types of drama surrounding Mel Gibson being fired from The Hangover 2, and it seems to be overwhelmingly anti-Gibson.

For the first time, we've got somebody besides Jodie Foster who is willing to defend Mel Gibson…or at least sort of defend him!

Here's what Mike Tyson had to say about Mel:

"I'm not going to ever in my life point my finger at anyone. I don't live in a glass house. None of us do. I work with anybody, as long as they're respectful. We all have that guy — a Mel Gibson — in us. We just don't want people to be exposed to it. Maybe he needs to go get help. We all need help, and need someone to talk to. I'm not against him, but I'm not for him."

We're not sure if we're entirely on board, but admittedly you make a couple of surprisingly valid comments, Mike.

What do U think of Tyson's comments? Do you have a "Mel Gibson" in you?

    HEY MARIO - YOU KNOW THIS GUY IS JUST LIKE 'CHRIS BEAT HER DOWN' WHO YOU HATE SO MUCH BECAUSE HE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF RETARDED RIHANNA

    A rapist defending a man who attacked a woman. Why is this surprising? I find it pretty amazing that a film which had enough principles to eschew Gibson finds it acceptable to have Tyson appear.



  3. 3

    what he says does make sense.



  4. 4

    That's what getting older does to a person…You don't point fingers at anybody.

    Well, maybe not the physical violence, but I know that I've had some pretty heated fights with an ex that probably sounded just as bad.. dont lie, everyone has. It just sounds worse for someone who is in the public eye and had the world judging him. I dont think that he is all bad, just caught up in a bad situation. Does anyone really know what she did or said that wasnt recorded? Trust me, no one is a saint in that situation, except for the poor baby caught in between them.

    Amazingly, MT sounds like his misfortunes and unfortunate dead of his young daughter have mellowed him, Realized he recently went off on a photographer-be it justified or not. So Mike still has the internal struggle going on.
    What he says is correct though: we all need to be a little less judgmental because most of us are just one slip of the tongue away from not being Buddha-like.

    Mike has a point… we all have that side in us. everyone on this blog clearly shows it behind a computer…

    He's no defending him, he's saying (and many agree) that he lost his temper. We all do. Only thing is, he's a drunk who's lost his temper and said horrible things that his wife recorded to share with the world. If my husband taped me when I was pissed and showed it to my peers, I'd be in trouble too. I swear like a trucker and say hurtful things.



  9. 9

    I know I don't walk around saying the N word so I would say no I don't have much Mel in me.

    Well look at this our little Mikey is all grown up, and he is right



  13. 13

    Perez, you of all people should agree with this. How many times have you made sexist comments, calling women bitches and whores? And, didn't you call the guy from Black Eyed Peas a fa*g*t? I mean, come on, stop frontin'

    'Mike Tyson on Mel Gibson.'

    Damn… I was expecting a rape picture before opening this!



  15. 15

    He's not lying we all have a 'MELGIBSON' in us. But those who say they don't just aren't being honest with themselves. You're not!

    What Mel did was horrid. What Tyson did was horrid. The only differences in these two (as far as the movie goes) is that a lot of time has passed for the crap that Tyson did. If this movie was being made 5-10 years from now, people wouldn't have had as big of a problem with it.



  17. 17

    Have I had times in my life where I have gotten a little pissey and sharp with someone? Yes. Have I ever spoken to someone the way Mel Gibson spoke to that woman? Absolutely not.



  18. 18

    I think we all have some "crazy" in us and there are people out there that can draw it out of you. Manipulators, mean, back stabbers, liars and many more types of people do this and in turn, cause the usually normal person to snap that normally wouldn't.

    Yes there are some nutty people that are just that way too. BUT before any us take one side without knowing the truth….take a step back and either find out the real truth or back off and say nothing.



  19. 19

    Actually Perez~ You are 1 person, and you are the only person who is "overwhelmingly anti-Gibson".

    I ljudge him for what he does, not his personal life, and I just so happen to like almost all the movies he's in or been apart of.

    HE'S not 'for him'? He's too weak to make a stand. What a milktoast. What nerve he has to even talk about Mel, who was NEVER convicted of anything he's being accused of. What will these poor excuses of human being say when he is never charged with anything but Oksana is charged with extortion? Mel will probably not let it happen because of the child! You fools that judge when you are filthy inside!



  21. 21

    crazy, must be paid and arranged advertisement



  22. 22

    He's a rapist and he has a history of abusing women ffs , of course he's gonna stand up for an abuser !!!



  23. 23

    One crazy fuck's opinions on another crazy fuck.



  24. 24

    Everyone tells me how nice I am. I am sweet and quiet and nice, but if I am angry I will swear like a f*****g sailor.



  25. 25

    Re: CBenji – You're missing the point entirely…



  26. 26

    Re: ParalyZzzZzer – He didn't stand up for him. Reading comprehension is so important…



  27. 27

    This coming from a convicted rapist and wife beater?Uuuummmmmm….hello?



  28. 28

    ……..i reefeewth to looooth



  29. 29

    lol wow.. everyone on the blogs talking shit about why tyson got to be in the film and not Mel and he is over there defending it..lol ahhh you guys are losers..

    Hollywood is not surprisingly hypocritical in terms of judging character. Mike Tyson was convicted of rape and widely known for severely beating past girlfriends. Mel Gibson gets angry and says a word many of us have said or thought and we crucify this guy. :)

    Instead of trying to beat him down, why doesn't someone offer him some support. Al those people that have invested in him and hos movies over the years.

    The bigger someone is the harder everyone wants to see them fall….
