Jesse Watters tried to pull one over on Mel Gibson in an interview aired Friday on Fox News, asking the veteran actor, director and producer about the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscars incident.
But it quickly became apparent Gibson had no interest in discussing the matter — and Fox News and Watters had been told as much beforehand.
"You understand it probably better than a lot of people, with your career," Watters led in with, transitioning from the topic of Gibson's latest movie, "Father Stu," which they had discussed for nearly five minutes (see the full interview below). "And I was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock, if you would have been treated the same way, Mel?"
A grinning Gibson then points his finger into the camera, spreads his hand and shakes his palm, as if to say, "No, don't do that," before an off-camera voice cuts things off.

The question shouldn’t have been asked at all.
How about - What if a liberal actor shot a worker on set?
Same thing - Nothing.
I agree. Both should be reprimanded in different ways.
She doesn't have leukemia, for cryin out loud. . .it's a non-life threatening hair condition. . plus the fact this self-absorbed, narcistic diva in her own mind was all over the internet promoting her bald new look. If you're going to the hilltop and screaming "look at me - look at me". . .you'd better not show up at the Oscars sitting on the front row and expecting not to get called out by Chris Rock.
Agreed. I thought Apocalyto was completely overlooked and underrated. The biggest part of it is that it destroys the “Noble Savage” narrative the Left worships.
Only European colonialists can be that cruel and evil, dontcha know…
I couldn’t find it either. Thank you for the link.
“Why speculate?”
Controversy generates clicks. Clicks represent revenue.
Mel was there to promote his movie. Not get involved in that nonsense. Besides, Mel has said a lot of stupid things in the past so he was smart to not take the bait.
Love both Braveheart and The Patriot. I appreciate the moments of humor to balance the heavy scenes of war. Francis Martin whistling for the two dogs after the “prisoner exchange” is classic Gibson.
Why are alleged serious journalists bothering with slapgate?
Anyway, Gibson got 5 minutes of air time which is worth $millions$. And he got a slapgate ‘gotcha’ question for it. Boo hoo. Fact is by not answering he actually answered... and look it’s still being discussed. Win Win.
Just don't get him drunk or pull him over for a DUI or get him angry or do other stuff he doesn't like.
I like the Pfizer/Alopecia/Sponsor rumor/scandal going around FB. $KACHING$
Google that.
And great director. Can't wait to see "Father Stu". Imagine a movie that portrays a Christian priest in a positive manner!
I had taken that into consideration.
I’ve seen where Jesse has had his ass handed to him on a quite a few occasions.
He’s young,...still learning.
Rookie mistakes.
So, it’s still a medical condition.
so is halitosis. . .pleez
Haha but the point was made!
She lost her hair from braiding and weaves. That is not a medical condition.
