That’s a good pick up. In going back and listening to his rant I think you’re right. There appears to be some expectation on his part that he was going get oral (or something) before or after joining her in the jacuzzi, and something screwed up this plan. He also keeps coming back in his rant to demand that she blow him. For some reason this cunning plan got nixed or she she declined to service him and now it’s time to unleash the hell dogs.

I wonder if stars at his level can get serviced pretty much whenever they want, and he perceives this (crazily) as a stunning slap in the face.

For a guy who’s into stereotyping, it’s funny he wasn’t clued into the Russian stereotype.

There’s no excuse for his behavior. He’s spiritually and professionally bankrupt.

She got knocked up by a married man and now stands to profit handsomely from that association.

In short, they deserve each other.

Ain’t love grand!

She deserves to be punched in the face, threatened with murder and rape and verbally berated as a “whore” and a “cunt” because she had his baby? Really? That’s what you think?

Don’t dress like Halloween if you don’t want to get scared. . .

Ok, I don’t believe that one bit, I just really wanted to say that. Gibson is a douche.

OK final warning, people: knock off the insults directed at other posters. You don’t like someone’s behavior, we’ve got the Pit. Take it there, not here.

He’s like a 3 year old with a sex drive.

I’m starting to get really curious about Gibso’s point of view on all this. How would he describe what she’s done to drive him so crazy?

All this does make you wonder what life with him as a husband and a father was like. His wife stuck with him for over 26 years.

[In looking at his wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Gibson) he really does have a fairly impressive body of work. You have to seriously wonder how he could be so successful if he was such an insane and abusive asshole to people. It’s a puzzlement.

For those, like me, eavesdropping from a foreign country which doesn’t get radaronline, [the “fourth call”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCxwZ-mgs5A) is on YouTube (temporarily?) … with subtitles!

I’ve witnessed some anger in real life, but I recall few rants this extreme.

Exactly! I’m guessing he had a routine that involved a blow job before bed, and like a cranky toddler went off when his regimented expectation was disturbed. It’s kind of interesting how (it seems) the blow job is not seen as a special sharing or anything, but is seen almost as an expected housekeeping chore of some sort she is neglecting as a bad and uncaring wife. It’s like she’s not doing the laundry, or failing to prepare him a decent meal.

Yeah, this is my thought too. Did something happen to him in the last few years that could’ve caused this? I mean his separation from his wife sounds like it was a symptom of his problems, not the cause. It’s hard to believe this level of unhinged psychotic rage could have been kept secret all these years. Even as late as the early 2000’s he was publicly making comments that made him sound rational, if conservative. Even his early antigay comments sound to me to be ignorant and childish, not hateful.

Is it possible that some type of brain disorder could cause this? I mean that seriously, because he is just completely unglued in those tapes.
