Mel and the Ladies
Here's another problem for Mel Gibson's Christian apologists, like Bill Donohue of the Catholic League: his philandering.
Gibson has always presented himself as a devout Catholic and faithful family man, married 26 years to wife Robyn and father of seven kids; that's been an integral part of his identity, and surely helped in the promotion of
The Passion of the Christ.
But the Philly Daily News is reporting that, while shooting
Signs outside Philadelphia in late 2001, Gibson was regularly shagging not one but two young lovelies in his suite at the Rittenhouse Hotel. One was a "stunning Jewish grad student at Penn"; the other was "a 31-year-old woman he first met at Rouge (205 S. 18th), where he gave her a back and shoulder massage."
It seems a safe bet that there are more such paramours out there. What would his Christianist supporters say?
