A new report surfaces by the hour that Mel Gibson has attacked a fan during a night out partying at a club in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 28. Hollyscoop claims the actor was seen arriving at Playhouse to celebrate the venue's grand opening party with the companion of pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and a group of people.

Maybe it was self defense?

More like alcoholism.

I think Mel is a talented man but he seems to be in a downward spiral....there is something pathetic about an old fart still out partying and particularly with a young preggo thing at his arm.....

She needs to step away from the plastic surgery.

Not quite “public”, the club was privately owned, but open to the public; the club apparently had the right to take the girl’s camera and erase the pictures. Gibson should have let the club handle the picture-takers.

A fan? Very misleading headline. According to the story.....

“Inside the hot spot, Mel and his companion sat on the VIP booth. It was during the time that a reporter of Life and Style magazine posing as a fan tried to snap a picture of him and Oksana. His security quickly took the camera from the unidentified female reporter and deleted the pictures.

However, she didn’t give up that easily and sent her male friend to take another picture of Mel and his entourage. His action drew Mel mad that he immediately “stepped in and attacked the clubgoer because he was fed up with everyone trying to snap a photo of him partying.” Hollyscoop quoted its source as stating, “Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt.”

That’s puts a very different light on what happened and who was involved.

I’ll bet the divorce cost him a lot more than $500,000. He knocked down hundreds of millions from the Passion, and was very well off before that.

Mel’s wife got far more than half a million. Believe the number is somewhere in the millions. (And I’m not sure there was a pre-nup.)

[Clara Lou]

I think the bane of Mel’s happiness is a lot more deeply rooted than fame and fortune.

NOT GUILTY!

I’ll say.

[B-Chan]

For a $500,000 whore, she's not particularly attractive. I can only speculate that she must be a freaking artist in the sack.

>Mel’s wife got far more than half a million

Yes! I meant to say
half a billion! Five hundred
million divorce bucks!

If you're gonna go
that route, annoy half your fans,
lose half your money,

why would a guy go
that route with a non-looker,
non-singer "singer?"

[Pessimist]

Read the article. It wasn’t a “fan” it was paparazzi, and they were laready warned once.

Mel Gibson's billion-dollar divorce: How bad will it be for him?

It’s a billion-dollar divorce!" says celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder.

Yesterday’s headlines that Mel Gibson, 53 and his wife Robyn Moore, also 53, were filing for divorce after 28 years of marriage has now been eclipsed by a handful of thornier follow-up questions. Namely, how much will the split cost the A-lister? How will it affect his reputation? Will it jeopardize the projects he has in development? And perhaps, most tantalizing of all, will it be the costliest celebrity divorce ever?

In short, the answers are: lots, remains to be seen, not likely, and almost certainly yes.

With no indication that the couple had hammered out a prenuptial agreement before their 1980 wedding, Gibson’s low-profile wife is now legally entitled to half of everything he’s earned over their nearly-three decades together, according to Felder, which could translate into roughly $500 million. ...

I always suspected Mel didn’t like the Jews, but now he’s attacking fans too? This guy better start working on his people skills.

[Scotswife]

“hmmm, let’s bring my pregnant GF to a club opening in LA. and i’ll get hammered.
sounds like a plan. what could go wrong?”

And then get up Sunday morning and attend mass at the church I built myself because I’m more catholic than the pope- with children who I raised under strict religious rules.

I’m sure it’ll have no affect on them whatsoever.

[Seruzawa]

Sad to watch Mel meltdown. Still he’s no worse than most of those rotten dirtbags. At least he’s nice to the people on set and not a complete @sshole like Alec Baldwin and similar creeps.

I’m sure that’s what he’s telling himself.
