Mel Gibson's drunken abusive tirade after his DUI arrest on Friday has become the biggest mistake of his career. The actor/director has since commented on his alcoholism and issued a public apology for his anti-Semitic proclaimation that: "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
A deputy wrote in his report that Gibson blurted out a barrage of anti-Semitic comments including: "My life is f**ked. I'm not going to get in your car… You motherf**ker. I'm going to f**k you… F**king Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?"
He reportedly had an open bottle of liquor in the car, concealed in a paper bag marked Hazardous Tequila. Then, according to the report filed by a Malibu sheriff, he let loose his opinion on Jews, followed by calling a female cop "sugar tits" and asking her "What do you think you're looking at?"
The following is the statement released by Gibson's people regarding his arrest for investigation of DUI:
"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the L.A. County sheriff's. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person.
"I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said.
"Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry.
"I have battled the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."
