Even Australians Don't Want Mel Gibson Back

By Rob Shuter Posted Jul 20th 2010 09:50PM

It seems everyone is mad at Mel Gibson these days. And now, in an effort to get out of the spotlight and win back his ex-wife Robyn, the movie star plans to pick up his family and move back to Australia. But, do Australians even want him back?

Australian native, and Bravo's most colorful Real Househusband ever, Simon van Kempen, tells me exactly what he thinks about Mel Gibson and what the actor once meant to Australia.

"To see Mel's implosion over the last 5 years has been maddeningly sad to say the least," he told me. "As a young Australian in the late '70s and early '80s Mel was THE Australian (although American) in the international film business and not surpassed until Russell Crowe (although a New Zealander) came along."

The reality star continued, "Once we got to know the real Mel... we could see he was a little different; a member of an extreme religion, the son of a father with pretty disgusting views and then, when he was arrested for a DWI, his anti-Semitic tirade showed the apple hadn't fallen too far."

"Once he fell for the beautiful Russian Oksana Grigorieva, his 24-year marriage publicly crumbled. And after claims of domestic abuse surfaced, Mel is now seen as a vile and disgusting human being whose career is surely done for," he said.

van Kempen concludes, "How ironic that after the demise of his relationship with Oksana, reports are now surfacing that he and Robyn are going to head back to Australia where perhaps he can escape the wrath of the U.S. media. Australia might be 14 hours by plane from Los Angeles, but it's still just a nanosecond away via the Internet. And I doubt Mel will get much peace there."

"For Mel, it seems his epitaph may well come from his movie titles as he's certainly no longer 'What Women Want,' and his language is not for the 'Braveheart,' and so it seems he's reverted to the movies that made him famous. But instead of 'Mad Max' he's now Mad Mel."

Can't wait to hear what Bethenny, Jill and Alex think too!

Crikey, Mel. You seem to be a man without a country, mate.

By Tom

Mel would be crazy to go back to Australia.
If he wants to be an ignorant racist, he should just stay in America and get his own show on Fox News and a side job with the Tea Party.

Tommy want a cracker? Idiocy - Parroting untrue phrases, and bankrupt ideas, and believing they are original. I'm certain your life is bliss,Tom.

Mel was born in NY and lived there until he was 12.

By barelytund

That, alone, would explain the capacity for a breakdown.

By Dennise

Right. I'm so sick of idiots who keep saying Mel is Australian. He is an American. (sad to say)
POPeater ... GET IT RIGHT>>> Mel's no Aussie !

By ellen sheehan

my question is why would Mel Gibson's ex want to return to that mad man who should be on medsin the first place. Does she need all that drama? doesn't she want peace and quiet? Good luck Robyn you'll need it

Good riddance...don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

By Justme

"Pick up his family and move"? He Has no family anymore! Doesn't he remember, he found "true love" with the Russian and blew his family off. I hope Robyn had the brains to kick him to the curb. I'm sure he'll do it again and now eveyone knows he's a racist and a Hater. How about Iceland?

I know...it's almost as bad as that guy who turned the Lebron James discussion into one about politics....and he has the exact same name as YOU.
You should totally go tell that loser to get a life.

By cjcatz68

Yup, Must be a LIB, how Mel Gibson's personal issues reflect Government is ridiculous. Unless you haven't noticed the political arena is way more repulsive than Mel Gibson in the present time..........probably the only people liked LESS than Mel, Tiger and in the case of Clevland - LeBron
