Winona Ryder Tried Warning America Mel Gibson Is a Giant Homophobic Racist, But You Wouldn’t Listen

You won’t find Winona Ryder singing the praises of Mel Gibson like a certain other Hollywood actress: Gibson has been openly “anti-Semitic and homophobic” for years, not just since his taped conversations were leaked. “Fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties, and he was really drunk,” Ryder tells GQ. “I was with my friend, who’s gay. [Gibson] made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about ‘oven dodgers,’ but I didn’t get it. I’d never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, ‘He’s anti-Semitic and he’s homophobic.’ No one believed me.” Well, you have hurt your own credibility since then, lady. But we’re sorry we didn’t listen!
