John Jarratt gave an interview to The Daily Telegraph in Sydney and it is shocking. Jarratt, starred with Mel Gibson in a movie way back in 1977. They have been friends ever since. Although you probably do not know who Jarratt is here, he is a fairly big star in Australia.
Anyway, he says that Oksana is disgusting and that he has called his wife some of the same things Mel has called Oksana and it doesn't mean anything.
"I've had a few arguments with my partner and they're not very nice, the 'C' word has been used on both sides. But no one has put that up on the internet, thankfully."
Sounds like a great guy, but it gets even better. You know when Mel told Oksana she was going to get raped and then used the N word. Well, Jarratt said he would say the same thing to his daughter.
"If my daughter went into the Outback in a pair of hot pants, I would say, 'Be careful you don't get raped by a bunch of rednecks.' That doesn't mean everyone in the Outback is a redneck. It was said in the heat of the moment."
He also says that the evil person in this whole thing is Oksana, not Mel. Mel was just drunk and did not mean any of it, while Oksana, well, "The despicable person in this is the woman, who has disgustingly taped this guy because he's extremely famous and tried to ruin his life. She has taped an argument they are having in an acrimonious split - something that happened behind closed doors - and he's been made a mockery of. It's disgusting."
If you click over to the article, make sure you read the comments.
I think that anyone who supports Mel should be forced to wear a t-shirt saying so so we know who to avoid.
ReplyDeleteBirds of a feather flock together...
ReplyDeleteThey're good friends you say? What a shock.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Australia and some of the men there are pretty rough around the edges.
ReplyDeleteMel's an idiot, he got taken, and now that his eyes are open, he wants to blame the con woman, no idiot,YOU should have known better. Any male star with as much money as you will always have con woman scheming to get your loot by any means necessary. Now that its happened, he is trying to save face.
ReplyDeleteI think this ties directly into the BV yesterday (copied on Blind Gossip from Panache) about another Australian actor who is an alcoholic and, when on a bender, says nasty things about blacks. I read up on Jarratt and he is an admitted alcoholic. Coupled with his friendship with Mel and his public support, I think Jarratt is the actor referenced in the Panache Report BV.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mooshki.
ReplyDeleteHow sad is it for women that apparently no matter where you go in the world, some people will always say that "she deserved it". 2010 and this attitude is still rampant. Not just talking about Oksana, just in general about abuse against women.
ReplyDeleteI bet Mel's lawyers are *really* glad that THIS guy is the one coming to Mel's defense. With friends like Jarratt, who needs enemies? That Jarratt thinks what he is saying would help the PR problem with Mel is laughable.
ReplyDeleteAlso, with Robyn's statement: did anyone else notice that she only said he was a loving father (not husband) and that he never physically abused her (and was silent on the emotional abuse).
To get this abusive, it builds over time. Robyn's statement was very carefully worded.
funny how he glossed right over the death threats. And by the way Mel didn't sound drunk in any of the tapes. Just pure rage.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe if Nicole Simpson had taped her calls and flooded them to the media she would be alive today.
Ever think of that el douchebag.
Hey John Jarratt...fuck you!
ReplyDeleteya know what, john?
ReplyDeleteif mel hadn't chosen to stick his dick in this woman, we wouldn't be talking about this at all.
@ Mooshki, somehow I doubt that "Team Gibson" tshirts will be flying off the shelves. I'm betting the Oksana ones won't sell well either.
ReplyDeleteJarratt = Douche
@BlahfrickinBlah - couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder then, that John Jarratt gave such an outstanding performance as a ultra-sadistic serial killer in "Wolf Creek." Wow. That film is now spookier than ever.
ReplyDeletethank you, marina, i was going to point that out, too.
ReplyDeletehe'll make a smashing character witness. geez.
I don't care if Oksana "asked for it".
ReplyDeleteI don't care if Oksana is a golddigger.
I don't care if Oksana is a slut with fake tits.
I don't care if Oksana was indeed reading from a script during the phone calls.
I don't care if Oksana knew exactly what to say to push Mel's buttons.
I don't care if Oksana knew from the beginning Mel could be dangerous.
I don't care if Oksana is trying to get more money from Mel Gibson.
Fact: Mel Gibson said all those terrible things on the audio tapes. No one disputes that; not even his own lawyers. SAYING SHIT LIKE THAT TO *ANYBODY* IS WRONG. Period. End of fucking discussion, okay?
And if Mel cared so much about not being played by a gold digger. Then why the F didn't he get a vasectomy.
ReplyDeleteOne snip problem solved. I think he wanted to knock Oksana up thinking it would keep her under his thumb.
They make Lindsey & Sam R. look well behaved.
I hope "Wolf Creek" doesn't get a surge in publicity because of this idiot's comments. That movie will scar (no, not scare) anyone who sees it. ::shudder::
ReplyDeleteblankprincess - you are so right about Wolf Creek. It still haunts me to this day.
ReplyDeleteMy ex and I called each other the c word in a few nasty arguments, it never resorted to abuse emotionally or physically, just hurt/anger on both sides I guess. We are good friends now years later. HOWEVER when you tally that up with everything else Mel said, that is one heap of bitterness and hatred o.O
ReplyDeleteAnd Wolf Creek is my number one disturbing horror film, the abuse and violence aimed to the women is just visceral.
I'm still not buying it, because Mel's first wife would have never taken a beating, even though she probably put up with a lot. He's got so many kids who are adults that they would have talked by now.
ReplyDeleteTMZ is saying that the tape was edited, and that Oksana's team may have to answer for it.
Now I'm really pissed. I don't think Gibson broke this gold digger's teeth. I think her shitty caps veneers came off, so I doubt that he did that. The chick is laughing and smiling in her 'abuse' photo. Really, laughing when someone takes a video of the horrors of your facial abuse?
ReplyDeleteWe certainly have a bunch of Gibson shills out and about today, including this pig.
ReplyDeleteWell said, chopchop.
Of course he agrees with MelTDOWN Gibson. Sick bastards, the pair of them.
ReplyDeleteAs an Aussie, I'm embarrassed by this...if you've kept your mouth shut about your arguments with your wife, John, why not keep your mouth shut now??
ReplyDelete@Jamie's girl-How much is Mel paying you to post bullshit?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I agree with Jamie's Girl.
ReplyDeleteTeresa - As soon as I read this, I also thought back to that blind item about the alcoholic Australian who threw around the N word.
I really wanted to like John. Mainly because a few months ago, I watched an interview he did and he was quite funny in it. Oh and Wolf Creek. He was so good in it.
