Robert Downey Jr. Asks Hollywood to Forgive Mel Gibson

Robert Downy Jr. and Mel Gibson

Fifteen months ago, the media published a tape of a man who sounded like Mel Gibson making threats against his ex-girlfriend. This was added to the anti-Semitic rant that Gibson did to police during a 2006 DUI arrest.

Last Friday Mel Gibson presented the American Cinematheque Award to his friend Robert Downey Jr. afterwards the actor said the audience, “Unless you are without sin – and if you are, you are in the wrong industry – you should forgive him and let him work.”

The evening’s highlight was when Gibson appeared to present the award. (AV)
