Mel Gibson continues to be a hateful asshole

From worstpreviews, Writer Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct) was working with Mel Gibson on a script for "The Maccabees." The project eventually fell apart, prompting Elszterhas to reveal some of the things Gibson has been saying while the two worked together.

According to the writer, Gibson said that he was making the movie in order to convert Jews to Christianity. He then called WME Chairman Ari Emanuel a "c*nt Jewboy," said that John Lennon deserved to be shot and that he wants to "f*ck [ex-wife Oksana Grigorieva] in the ass and stab her while I'm doing it."

Eszterhas has now released one of the tapes (listen below), which doesn't include any of the previously-mentioned comments, but Gibson can be heard screaming about lack of progress with "The Maccabees" script, stating: "what the f*ck have you been doing?" And then calling Grigorieva more names, like "f*cking c*nt" and "c*ck-sucking whore."

Gibson believes he has a "basic human right" not to be secretly recorded in his own home and is planning to sue Eszterhas.

Meanwhile, during a press conference for Gibson's "Get the Gringo," the actor's anti-Semitism came up again. The moderator asked if there were any issues on set since director Adrian Grunberg is Jewish. When co-screenwriter pointed out that he too is Jewish, Gibson attempted to make a joke, but ended up stating: "Funny, you don't look Jewish."
