Well, unfortunately, they likely have no clue they have "shamed themselves" since no one called them out on what they have said. I really am having a hard time understanding why some posters here are bending over backwards trying to excuse Mel's alleged rants, at the same time blaming the girl. I understand he is a big movie star, and some people put movie stars on pedestals as if they were god-like, but still, this is a crime board.
It's because this is a crime board that people are trying to be objective. It's not bending over backwards, it's trying to look at facts without an emotional response. Would you like my view of some celebrity cases to prove this is not about stardom: OJ, guilty. Robert Blake, guilty. Phil Spector, guilty. Charlie Sheen, guilty (even of things we don't know about). Michael Jackson, unsure. Did I miss anyone? I'll let you know what I thought.
Facts regarding this case.
. O being investigated for extortion.
. O didn't contact LE about abuse that involved her oldest son being thrown into a table at a party 1 year ago. No witnesses have come forward
.O leaked evidence photos of physical abuse, laughable
.O violated gag order and leaked possibly altered tapes
. O's first attorney quit on her after being reprimanded by a judge regarding this case. Attorney's arguments were called "disingenuous at best" and "very disturbing."
.O continually leaking stories to the media that are fantastical and quickly proven wrong and confirmed by LE.
.O allegedly recorded Gibson on a single day. Not over time.
.M on tape, in a rage making racist comments, threats (cause of fight unknown and authenticity of tapes unknown)
.M still has visitation despite evidence that was presented in court.
This is bending over backward to defend someone?
