“For one episode in the back of a police car on eight double tequilas to sort of dictate all the work, life’s work and beliefs and everything else that I have and maintained for my life is really unfair,' Gibson has said of his 2006 DUI arrest.
Numerous social media users were shocked and offended by Monday's announcement that Mel Gibson will play a major role in Rothchild, an upcoming film chronicling a black sheep's attempt to get back into the good graces of a wealthy Jewish family. Some Twitter users expressed disappointment for the casting, given longstanding rumors that Gibson is anti-Semitic.
A decade later, Gibson commented on the arrest and claimed the recording was illegal to begin with. He never denied the exact words, but did deny being racist in any way in interview clips like: “Surely if I was really what they say I was, some kind of hater, there’d be evidence of actions somewhere. There never has been,” which he told Variety's Playback podcast in October 2016.
Gibson directly apologized to the Jewish community for his remarks in an August 2006 statement, which can be read on the Anti-Defamation League's official website.
