Mel Gibson approached near-peak levels of Mel Gibson in Sydney overnight, allegedly screaming at and shoving a photographer who took his picture after a movie screening.
Daily Telegraph photographer Kristi Miller has described the fairly hectic situation, saying “I thought he was going to punch me in the face” of the attack.
Gibson was with the only human who is willing to date him at this point his 24-year-old girlfriend Rosalind Ross when the alleged incident took place, and was apparently very unhappy at being snapped.
Miller claims that, after taking Mel’s photo, she turned to walk away, only to feel him shoving her, and turning to find him standing over her with a clenched fist. After that:
“He was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I’m not even a human being and I will go to hell. He swore and called me a c … It was non-stop, he didn’t even breathe.”
She says that the tirade only stopped when Ross stepped in to calm Gibson, telling him “that is enough” and apologising profusely, before the pair walked away.
The Daily Tele photographer has since apparently reported the incident to police. Mel is in Australia to direct a WW2 film, Hacksaw Ridge, which goes into production next month.
