Gibson Finally Apologizes
Filed under: Heath Ledger > Star Jones
John Gibson finally showed remorse for his inappropriate mockery of Heath Ledger's death.
On his Fox News Channel show on Thursday, he said he was sorry if his comments offended anyone and also said he was sorry that Heath Ledger died and wasn't with us anymore.
His mea culpa seemed kinda forced, but that's the best you can expect from him.
Click here to watch his apology.
What do you think????
Is this enough????

He only said it because he is afraid he will get fired. I still think he should he is an ass and I hate the man. I for one do not listen or watch him and I never will!
people like Mr. Gibson are a disgrace to society..I can swallow the fact that u may be homophobic(which makes no sense to me,but I respect it), but to mock on someone so loved and admired like Heath,right after his death is just shameful. I don't take his apologies and I will never watch his stupid show!!!AND I WILL ALSO MOCK YOUR MUCHHAIRSPRAYEDPUFFY HAIRDO MR.GIBSON WHEN YOU PASS AWAY!!!
John Gibson is an ass. It was weak. It meant nothing. It was not sincere. I wish he would have bad dreams about his horrid treatment of Heath Ledger.
*sigh*
He's a fake and a phoney!! He just didn't want to lose his job is all. I think everybody over at Fox News are a bunch of assholes. I wish that people would WAKE UP about that channel. They are crude, callous, thoughtless human beings, who have mindlessly followed President Bush and his administration like some kind of pied-piper situation. The pied-piper playing his tune and the nasty rat conservatives skipping along happily and mind-numbingly to it without question.
What kind of apology is "I'm sorry if I offended anybody"
shows how "sorry" he is.
i support free speech, but comes with a price. he should be accountable for the bullshit he spews on tv. i never email hateful things to anyone but i did to this ass-clown.
Re: Ron – Shut up. Go watch his show if you like him that much
++++===== YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!!! HE DIDN'T RAPE YOU. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE TIME HE WORKS SOO HARD. YOU'RE SOFT AND A DUMB ASS. GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU PIECE OF SHIT. IF HE RAPED YOU WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT IT. HE'S A FUN AND GREAT MAN OF OUR TIME, AND BESIDES ROSS LIKES HIM. I'M MORMON AND I LIKE HIM TOO. FUCK U!!
Re: Ron –
Hey asshole, you don't even know if he was on drugs at the time. And it shouldn't take a million emails for stupid Gibson to apologize. his comments were completely inappropriate. and cruel. I suggest you stop watching Faux News and before you too become a selfish, souless, slimesucking asshole like the John Gibson.
SUCK IT CLAM-BAKE STYLE BITCHES!
And the MORON award goes to……
Hey fat boy perez. Dont you think thay you and your man tits owe Heather a "sorry" for ALWAYS talking smack about him?
Your so fat, your clothes look like you bought them at baby gap. Your shirts are extra medium when your tits are double D's.
Say sorry fatness
FUCK THIS UGLY SON OF A BITCH! HE ONLY "APOLOGIZED" TO SAVE HIS OWN GHOSTLY PALE SKIN! BOYCOTT AMERICAN IDOL NOW! YOU WATCH AMERICAN IDOL YOU PAY THE SALARIES OF GIBSON, OREILLY, AND HANNITY!!!

I emailed Fox News so yay on the apology! I'll take a forced one any day from someone like him because you know he hated to do it but was strong armed.
However, I agree that Perez should apologize too. You kept putting the same rumors that were being reported. I get that this is a gossip thing but you can't point fingers when someone else does exactly what you did too.
Yeah He's sorry he got his ass chewed out by the network execs and sorry he almost lost his job! I don't believe for a min he's sorry about anything he said.

his head reminds me of the eraser from a #2 pencil.
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
SACK THE CUNT.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH! whatta lame homophobe!
He should be fired the way Don Imus was fired for his comments. Or at the very least, suspended for an indefinite amount of time - at least until after the funeral. This man is a disgusting excuse of a journalist - just like everyone else on Fox News!!! All they do is report false and misleading information, why would this be any different.
PEREZ YOU FAT FAG, I LOVE YOU!
Oh, please. I hate it when someone says "I'm sorry if you were offended." That is NOT an apology. He needs to say "I'm sorry I said that" or else get his old ass fired
Re: Ron – Hey Ron comment # 7… why don't you just shut the fuck up about Heath Ledger's drug abuse (calling the man a "druggie who should take responsibilities for his actions") until the toxicology report comes back ok?!? So far they have found ZERO evidence that he ingested, snorted, or took any kind of illegal substances at all!! There have only been rumors that he has had a drug problem in the past, and his own family and close friends said they were pretty sure he had been sober for the past year!! His death is a complete shock to those closest around him, so how do YOU know, oh mightly wise Ron, that his death is just some "druggie" situation? How can you be so comfortable talking about a man who died too soon like this, when you don't even know what the hell you are talking about?!? NONE of us know for sure!! From what it looks like now, he was just trying out several different sleeping medications for his chronic insomnia problem, and probably accidentally overdosed on them. That's all they know for now! So save your fucked up remarks about the man until you know for sure what happened to him, and let his family mourn him in peace. They don't need people like YOU and asshole John Gibson making a mockery of him while they are trying to make sense of what happened to the man they knew and loved.
His comments were uncalled for in the first place.. but at least he said something about being sorry…
No matter what is going in the world, and how terrible it might be.. there is always going to be someone who makes fun… its unfortunate.. but its the way it is…
FUCKTHAT.
Haha!! He is such a loser! And ugly! I hope the next time he pulls something like this, they fire his ass!
I don't care that he apologized. I'm still not watching him.
the only reason he probably had to apologize it that Rupert Murdoch, an Aussie, owns the Fox news corp (and half of the world). And also because many people wrote into the Fox news channel protesting John Gibson. So…now…can we let Mr. Ledger rest in peace and let his family grieve with dignity?
Gibson and the entire Fox network EXEMPLIFY what is wrong with our country. These Republican's "Christian" a$$holes who feel they must moralize the world for us (the sheep) because they hold some kind of "higher standard." Nevermind cutting funding for CHIP as well as countless other social services that SAVE LIVES. Jesus would have been disgusted by all the hatred, bigotry and greed that goes on in his name. His apology is worthless and his remorse is showboated. Typical.
John Gibson was so wrong in making ANY statements about this death or any other death. He should, should, should be fired! Maybe we can make fun of him somday.
thanks for posting the info perez!
i already emailed all the assholes a couple times. they need to fire his pointy headed, 4 eyed, douchebaggy ass!! FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
It is important that people file FCC complaints. His broadcast was indecent, obscene and propane. The complaints can be filed on line at the FCC's website. Fox News should at least be fined for their actions. The airways are regulated and licensed by the federal government.
doesnt matter. he already said he wasnt sorry for what he said. and besides, i dont care if he is sorry. it doesnt make up for him being an asshole
WHY WHY. I WYE YOU YOU SON OF A BITCH. I'M MENSTRAL AND I'D LIKE TO KICK YOUR ASS FOR STATING THAT. HE'S A GOOD GUY WITH A CUTE PUPPY. LEAVE PEREZ ALONE!!!! WHO ARE YOU??? ONE OF THE DINKS THAT HAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST HIM. HE DOESN'T BLOW HIS MONEY, AND HE'LL WIN IN COURT. UTAH SAYS FUCK YOU "WHY," YOU'RE FUCKING CUM DITCH FOR WRITING THAT ABOUT PEREZ!!!
This Gibson asshole shoulda died instead of Heath.
He makes me sick. I'll kill this man if I ever see him.
I don't buy his lame apologies, I still say FIRE HIM!!
And I still think he should stick a 10-foot pole up his warty homophobic scrotum.
GO GLAAD!
I'm sorry, but it isn't good enough. He should face some sort of consequence. You can tell he isn't genuine in his apology, and people that have done things that aren't nearly as bad as this have lost their jobs. He's still a disgusting person.
I don't really care if he gave this crap ass apology, I'm still rallying up my friends to email fox and say that they don't support the network and will stop watching it.
FINALLY!
It's sad that it was forced and not sincere. But, he was probably trying to stop the hate mail from pouring in!
He looks like an old Queen in the closet anyways… Methink thou protests too much honey…..
Well its something, but he's still got alot of people who hate him now and he should be ashamed of himself.
Everyone needs to email all the execs AGAIN like I did - AND TELL THEM THIS CLOWN STILL NEEDS TO BE FIRED, that half assed apology he gave doesn't come CLOSE to making up for what he did!!!!
Nobody forced him too. Ailes doesn't give a shit about Perez and his little website.
Re: Ron –
Hey asshole, until the autopsy report comes back there is not proof of drug use. How bout you take your judgemental ass back to church. Holier than thou prick.
they will let anyone one tv these days..he looks like a sack of something someone had liposuctioned out of their ass.
Re: Loady Smurf – Good Point
But you do it by boycotting the show's sponsors - hit em where it hurts, in the pocketbook - and make sure the sponsers know exactly why you are boycotting them.

what a dick!
Too bad, he should just own up to the fact that he's an ignorant asshole. I guess it's all the same, why would anyone believe that he's sorry now? Just another reason to hate fox news. Everyone come to Canada…he would have been fired here.
Re: LOLOLOL – You know whats really funny? YOU'RE the one reading this "shit". I actually find this page quite amusing and celebrities get into the business knowing that they will be hounded by paparazzi and subject to things like this. That's why they get paid millions, idiot. So if you're so against this, why don't you just shut the fuck up and go somewhere else. Here's a website you might like…www.fleshlight.com
Oh, and by the way - I love Perez and don't think calling him fat is very necessary. He's a lot more successful than you!
STILL a fucking douche bag!!!!
Smells like an Isaiah apology to me. He was probably forced to give an "apology" to save his job. Probably cursed him once the cameras were off.
WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH
i saw his half assed apology and he couldn't have really meant it. He apologized because he had to. I hope fox still plans to repremand him for his actions.
i hope he gets fired
WHAT A mother FUCKER this guy is.. He could say he was sorry til his balls fell off and I still wouldnt believe his lying ass. WHAT a dick. GO AWAY JACK HOLE
Don't accept it - phony, phony, phony asshole! Don't let him get away with this people!! He's just trying to save his job - keep the heat on Fox News and the exec's.
Perez, why did you take down the post where you humiliated the blogger by insulting him and exposing his full name and email address? Scared of a lawsuit? IT WAS VERY WRONG AND UNPROFESSIONAL OF YOU TO SPOT LIGHT A BLOGGER. THATS LOW…
I'D SUE U
you know, i don't understand why it was so imperative to everyone that he apologize. most likely the apology was insincere anyway, but why is what he said really that big of a deal in the first place? do you really value his opinion that much? does it really change how you feel about heath ledger or life in general? people say inappropriate, rude, insensitive, and hurtful things all the time, and in America, that's called our first amendment rights. you don't have to like what he said, but you have to love the fact that he's free to say it!
He looks like a repressed closeted homo to me
i think the general public will agree with me when i say he needs to retire.
too little too late.
Re: Lillz – Amen!!
What ever FIRE THE FUCKER
He's full of shit. He most likely only apologized beacuse he knew he had to in order to keep his job and stay in everyones favor……the saddest part is he still probably thinks he didn't do or say anything wrong
Why does everyone automatically assume he's overdosed or committed suicide? What about his health problems of late pneumonia, insomnia? Not to mention the ambien he was taking which they are trying to ban here inOz because of the bizarre side effects it causes. Stop jumping the gun, sto[p speculating and wait for the reports to come out.
I don't understand how someone can be so heartless, We wonder why this world is so full of hate and can't understand were our kids get it. Well this moron is the fule for the fire and others like him. We will never have peace with people like this.
Re: Buster Cherry –
Yes, she got off easy because she's a Jew and the Jews always have it so easy.
That's sarcasm, jackoff.
he's scum.

"hahahaha, Im still breathing"

.
.
.OH HELL TO THE FUCKING NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.TO THE LEFT TO THE LEFT
once a douchebag, always a douchebag. his gaping donut hole just won't shut up.
yeah well he also needs to apologize for his racist remarks he made the other day also. Unreal to me that such a huge network allows this ignorant fuck to stay on air. Shame on them.
Fox was most likely getting a ton of hate mail so he was forced to apologize. He's just a disrespectful ass, who should be fired from Fox.
Nobody deserves to treated that way..such a jackass.
whatever
dude is just angry no one will give a damn when he goes.
THATS NOTHING
Forced to say sorry. I have no respect for him.
OMFG.. this dick needs to be FIRED… Listen.. everyone else who says something bad regardless of freedom of speech they get fired.. THIS mother fucker was SO out of line that not only does he need to be fired he needs to get his fucking head kicked in.. WHAT A FUCKNUT. Fox wont fire you cuz fox is BEYOND fucked up. THEY cant tell the time from whats real. They are HORRIBLE and so are you, you fucking FOOL
it's not like he really feels sorry for what he said
Is the sexuality and body type of Perez really relevant in this issue AT ALL? This is about an ignorant asshole (Gibson) commenting on things that have nothing to do with him!
Re: som –
I AM SIMPLY MAKING A POINT. PEREZ MAKES FUN OF PEOPLE AND RIDES THEM INTO THE GROUND FOR THEIR SHORTCOMINGS/MISTAKES, WHILE HAVING MANY OF HIS OWN (I.E. — HIS WEIGHT).
IT BRITNEY SPEARS OR AMY WINEHOUSE COMMIT SUICIDE/OD IN THE COMING YEAR, WHAT DO YOU THINK SOULESS GNATS LIKE PEREZ HILTON AND THE PAPARAZZI WILL DO? ACT LIKE THEY CARED AND THEN CONTINUE RUMORS ABOUT THEM AFTER THEIR DEATH?
JUST HOW IN THE HELL IS PEREZ HILTON ANY DIFFERENT THAN JOHN GIBSON? HE'S BEEN RUNNING LIES ABOUT HEATH LEDGER SINCE THEY DAY HE DIED. WHAT JOHN GIBSON SAID WAS STUPID, BUT HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO LOSE HIS JOB ANYMORE THAN PEREZ HILTON DESERVES TO LOSE HIS WEBSITE.
HYPOCRITES.
Re: jen – you don't find what he said might be hurtfull to Michele Williams or their daughter??
Re: Not surprised –
You perfectly put into words exactly what I was thinking. I'm so sick of "holier than though" assholes that say the most awful things about other people. I would give more respect to drug dealers than this hateful man.
TALK ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY!! ALL OF A SUDDEN PEREZ IS ALL HIGH & MIGHTY WHEN IT COMES TO A DEAD PERSON & GAY RIGHTS (OF COURSE). YET EVERY DAY OF HIS PATHETIC LIFE HE SPENDS BEING DEROGATORY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. GEE, THEIR FAMILIES CAN SEE THAT GARBAGE. THEIR RELATIVES CAN SEE THE DICKS & CUM DRAWN ON THEIR FACES & READ THE NAMES YOU CALL THEM, EVEN YOUNG CHILDREN. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW YOU DRAW THE LINE? PLEASE… WHAT A JOKE. YOU MAKE YOUR CAREER OUT OF BEING DISRESPECTFUL OF PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES EVERY DAY! WHEN THE FUCK WILL YOU APOLOGIZE & CHANGE??
BOYCOTT AMERICAN IDOL NOW!!! YOU WATCH AMERICAN IDOL YOU PAY THE SALARIES OF GIBSON, OREILLY, AND HANNITY!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS SHIT!!! THE "WINNERS" NEVER MAKE IT OR HAVE NO LONGEVITY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND THE "LOSERS" BECOME BIG STARS!!! AT LEAST DON'T VOTE FOR THE IDOL WINNER BECAUSE YOUR VOTE WON'T COUNT!!! HOW IS IT THAT THE PUBLIC BUY'S DAUGHTRY'S MUSIC AND WHO CAN EVEN REMEMBER WHO WON THAT YEAR? YOU SEE, YOUR VOTE DIDN'T COUNT, DID IT? QUIT WASTING YOUR MONEY AND GIVING IT TO THE EVIL WIZARD BEHIND THE CURTAIN, RUPERT MORECOCK!
i haven't seen his apology, but forced, insincere apologies mean practically nothing. what a loser…
Re: oyeah –
how is postingGibson's non-apology spreading rumors? Not to mention repeating it twice makes YOU look like the idiot
It is not an APOLOGY to say, "I'm sorry if you were offended by what I said."
This just shifts the blame to the person who was offended.
This guy is a disgusting, worthless piece of shit. Fox has dug its own grave. The sooner it implodes, the better.
i emailed him and called him a nappy headed ho
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHOA BABY…..FOR WHAT YOU SAID…I GOT TOGETHER WITH MY FRIENDS AT MIDNIGHT AND WE CONCOCTED UP SOME SHIT. YES, I COLLECT WEIRDOS BABY!! WITCH DOCTORS VOO DOO LADIES AND THE LIKE!!!!!!
.
.
.WE THREW VOO ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.OHHHHHHH HELL TO THE NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
.
.SOMETHING GONNA HAPPEN BABY!! VOO DOO ON YOUR ASS!!!!
This Douche's Haircolor is more authentic than that APOLOGY!
bububu-bullshit. if he was sorry, or would ever be sorry, he wouldn't have said this shit in the first place. leave it to fox news to keep this guy on, or give him a show in the first place. don imus gets fired for a passing comment, this fucktard does a whole bit of making fun of a man who recently died simply because it meant he got to use overused sound bites, and he gets to keep his job.
He and all the other Murdoch TOOLS at Faux News should rot in HELL.
IS HIS APOLOGY ENOUGH? IT WILL BE
.
.
.

ONCE MY MOTHERFUCKING VOO DOO TAKES EFFECT!!!!!
.
.
TO THE LEFT TO THE LEFT……OH GIRL I AM LISTENING TO "BARBIE PUSSY" BY ASHLEY BREATHE AND I AM CHARGED!!!! THANK YOU TWIGGY TWINK! YOUR MYFACE PAGE IS FUNKY
He still has a job? Astonishing…
He apologized that people may have felt offended, but not for what he actually said. Put this ignorant asshole in front of the firing squad!
RIP Ennis !, go fcuk yourself and die Gibson !…., you are the kind off guy why the rest of the world started to hate you Americans in the first place !.
can somebody fire this motherfucker. like NOW.
nice reading of the autocue (I think you guys call it a teleprompter)… very heartfelt (not)
Bullshit. People still need to write into Fox and get him fired. Maybe then there would at least be one complete asshole on Faux News.
People still bitching about freedom of speech…with it comes responsibilities. Especially when you're in the public eye like this douche.
he doesn't give a shit - he's just saying that so he doesn't lose his job… what a jerkoff
