MEL GIBSON DIVORCE SHOCK: Wife Files Papers
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/13/mel-gibson-divorce-shock-_n_186211.html

<SNIP> We've learned Mel Gibson's wife Robyn has just filed legal papers to divorce Mel Gibson, her husband of 28 years, citing "irreconcilable differences." Pretty ironic -- Robyn signed the papers the day before Good Friday.

Sources tell us there is no prenuptial agreement -- they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property -- which includes earnings -- is divided 50/50.

1. The Passion of the Ex-wife's Attorney!

so when he was blaming us homo's for destroying marriage - I don't recall him ever once say anything about banning divorce

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Couldn't happen to a nicer antisemite.

[AirBaud]

3. Sin!

Purgatory!

[jobycom]

4. No pre-nup? Looks like it's Mel's turn to be called "Sugar Tits."

:rofl:

[TacticalPeek]

Hah!

:)

[varkam]

28. Zing!

[petronius]

67. Good. When I first saw this, I was afraid there would be one, but he deserves to get

raked over the coals after those beach-romp pictures (among other things). Hope she gets the good half of everything...

[ohheckyeah]

71. What beach romp pictures?

I missed something.

[petronius]

72. "Romp" may not be the right word - here's the pictures from the Lounge thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8688414&mesg_id=8688767

It's pretty obvious that Mel is not a paragon of fidelity...

[ohheckyeah]

73. Thanks very much! n/t

[Taverner]

5. I thought divorces were an abomination to God?

Oh well...once again hypocrisy...

[sarge43]

21. Robyn Gibson isn't Catholic. n/t

[pepperbear]

68. shhhh! that's only if you're worth less than 3 mil! n/t

[Richard Steele]

74. Gibson's medieval MINDSET is an abomination to G*D. Divorces are just unpleasant. nm

[onehandle]

6. The ass loses 450+ million. Love it! nt

[nichomachus]

45. No -- that's just her cut -- child support will be another matter altogether n/t

[onehandle]

57. Hopefully another 450 mil. nt

[Vickers]

7. I BLAME IOWA!

:spank:

[rurallib]

11. Iowa thanks you.

[pepperbear]

69. Yeah! I blame activist judges! n/t

[Missy Vixen]

8. She finally got tired of his refusal to allow her to use birth control

Free Robyn! :woohoo:

[Spazito]

9. Gee, I wonder why anyone would divorce...

a misogynist anti-semitic fundy freak, go figure!

[havocmom]

18. Pictures of him and girlfriend on beach might have been the last straw?

He is a misogynist, anti-semitic, fundy, philandering freak.

[Spazito]

24. Damn, didn't know there were pics!

I will add philandering to my list from now on for sure. I am not surprised at the philandering, though, because he believes women are property to be used and discarded at will.

[merh]

46. link

[Spazito]

51. Geez, if that's Gibson, he looks very different than I remember him....

mind you, the last movie of his I watched was, ironically , What Women Want.

Thanks for the link.

[merh]

52. I guess that is his Costa Rica rich land owner tramp look

a cross between mad max and maverick with a twist of the lethal weapon dude

a little philandering mixed in with wealth and a mid life crisis and "waa laa" - the straw that broke the wife's back.

[Spazito]

53. LOL!

That's exactly it! "a cross between mad max and maverick with a twist of the lethal weapon dude", I would only add a growing resemblence to Swartzenegger in body tone, lol.

[merh]

55. LOL

maybe two folks will get a job as a result of the photos, a divorce lawyer and a personal trainer.

:rofl:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

38. I thought he was a

Catholic freak?

Maybe he is a hybrid.

[Spazito]

40. He is, a Catholic fundamentalist, an Opus Dei kind of Catholic...

the extremist arm of the Catholic Church.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

41. Oh...

The Catholics who want to adhere to the good old days of the Crusades. :eyes:

[Spazito]

43. LOL, the Crusades were too liberal for these people...

and the Spanish Inquisition was too wimpy as well!

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

10. Why is this a "shock?"

:shrug:

[sutz12]

14. Shock to him, because he's clueless...not to anybody else.

If he would have bothered to ask any one of us, we might have warned him.

Not that it would have doen any good.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Congratulations to her!

:party:

[rurallib]

13. So isn't Gibson one of the old school catholics that will go to hell

if divorced? Well, see you later Mel.

[safeinOhio]

19. I think he just can't remarry or

EVER HAVE SEX AGAIN!

[jobycom]

20. Well, if he's got a good lawyer, God will overlook it.

Officially, she's the one divorcing him, so he can argue he wasn't the one committing the sin. As long as he doesn't remarry, his immortal soul thingie should be fine.

[JerseygirlCT]

36. He won't be able to remarry, because in the eyes of the church

he's still married.

That assumes of course that his marriage was also considered valid to begin with.

[flvegan]

15. Robyn, call me!

[Arugula Latte]

16. Finally she dumps that asshole!

Good!

[rox63]

17. I know Mel is an uber-Catholic

Not sure about his soon-to-be ex-wife. But if she is, she probably won't be for much longer.

[bridgit]

22. She's had enough of the player

[rrneck]

23. Had to happen. Mel's a mean drunk. nt

[Botany]

25. But she will never take my millions

she may fight and you may die. Run, and you'll keep your money ... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin'
to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our her that they may take our
lives, but they'll never take... OUR MONEY!

[Soylent Brice]

44. DUzy.

[Seen the light]

26. How in the fuck does MEL GIBSON have that much money?

Seriously?

[MadHound]

30. Umm, his career, good investment.

The guy has been in some of the hottest movie properties of all time. The whole Mad Max series, the Lethal Weapon series, Braveheart, etc. etc. The man has made a mint off of these movies, not just what he was paid to act in them, but royalties, merchandise spinoffs, etc.

Take that money, invest it wisely, and voila, you wind up with almost a billion dollars:shrug:

[Ellipsis]

32. He was a producer on Passion

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=passionofthechrist.htm

It raked in over 600,00 million world wide.

[progressoid]

33. Passion of the Christ alone gossed over 600 million.

[get the red out]

27. He's a typical religious nut

He drinks like a fish and screws all the women he wants but the wife isn't even allowed to own her body or mind. I hope she takes that disgusting nut-case for every thing he has then kicks him in the balls on the way out.

[lame54]

29. "Don't leave me sugar-tits...

I can't afford it."

[earth mom]

31. Hope that younger woman is worth $450 MILLION!

It couldn't happen to a nastier guy! :rofl:

[corpseratemedia]

34. I bet he used condoms too with the gf

he is so going to hell forever and ever, plus the hell on earth of having to give up all that money mr. anti-semite-sugar-teat-boy made:evilgrin:

[Blue Belle]

48. She's probably on the birth control...

I wonder if Robyn had that choice.

[JerseygirlCT]

35. Good for her! Run, Robyn, run far and fast. He's insane. nt

[Ganja Ninja]

37. And yet another conservative family values type bites the dust. n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

39. Forget the money, who gets the kids? n/t

[merh]

42. only one minor to worry about, guess the others are of age

She is also seeking joint physical and legal custody of their son, Tom, who turns 10 Tuesday. (Tom is their only child who is a minor.)

47. Ashockalypto

The story of an aging hollywood right winger who is chased through a jungle of divorce papers by pen weilding lawyers.

[Sheepshank]

49. I remember his uber Catholic rant..

...even though his wife was a decent human being she'd never make it to heaven for lack of being a good Catholic. ooooopppppsssss

[pacalo]

50. Ugh. What took her so long. Hope she writes a book -- the man's got a twisted mind.

[Maru Kitteh]

54. HA!

The only thing I find shocking is that the woman stayed married to him as long as she did.

[baldguy]

56. What's so shocking?

A has-been movie star's slow descent into nut-ballness; the ex-wife doesn't want to tag along.

[Blue Belle]

58. The shock is that she stayed so long...

If it were me I would have been out of there a long time ago.

[Jennicut]

59. Good for her! She had been through enough crap with him.

[mitchum]

60. It will really frost his ass if she has a Jewish attorney

[dysfunctional press]

62. a female jewish attorney...

who calls him sugar tits.

[Mandate My Ass]

63. a female Jewish attorney

Oh please let it be so. :rofl:

[MrMickeysMom]

61. This calls for another "South Park" episode!

But, really fling the shit this time!

[Toucano]

64. This is what's wrong with the economy.

A complete putz like Gibson is actually worth almost a billion-fucking-dollars!

[shanti]

65. no prenup?

girlfriend is gonna make out like a bandit!

[pinniped]

66. She deserves half, having to put up with all that Lethal Weapon movie garbage.

His best movies were the post-apocalyptic Mad Max and Road Warrior.

[blonndee]

70. Congratulations. Mel Gibson's wife!

Maybe you've finally realized what a psychotic tool this guy is. Sorry it took so long, but maybe the compensation will be worth it. I imagine you have earned it, and then some.

[Liberal_in_LA]

76. He looks crazy in this pic

[Blue Belle]

77. He looks crazy in most pics...

At least he has lately.
