Mel Gibson already showing off new girlfriend.. How soon is too soon?

Man! And I used to be such a huge fan. Like even with the advent of Brad Pitt or Leo di Caprio when I was younger, Mel Gibson had remained my hunk of choice. I also liked the fact that he was so into his family, so into it that he and his wife had been breeding like rabbits in Australia. It has been one turn off after another, starting with that DUI-racist slur thing. I guess, if he and his wife had been having problems all this time, that could be an explanation (not an excuse though) for his unbecoming behavior. Anyway, whether that chick (a singer under his label - hmmm, anybody else thinking "opportunist"?) has been "introduced" (by way of paparazzi in Costa Rica) anyway prior to divorce talks, to flaunt your mistress so soon just lacks class. JMHO. :)

unbelievable! Just two weeks and the new girlfirend has already set up camp? I'm sure she existed before the divorce. Shame on her.. I bet you she's just after his money.. why else would a thinking human beign purposely hurt another one like that? Shame on Mel too.. after 28 years and 7 kids.. its just so appalling.. Just goes to show how greedy and lustful people are these days.

oy vey, some people eh? i guess he wasnt too broken hearted after his wife gave him the old heave ho. not like hulk hogan anways (but thats another topic!) i think he should have waited at least a couple of months. seems like bad taste abounds.

Perhaps the new girlfriend existed before the divorce was filed?

I don't know. I think it really depends on the divorce. I don't think they were living happily in the last 3 or 4 years. Were they even living together up till the divorce was filed? I have an Aunt and Uncle that lived together, had their own bedrooms and dated other people, but they waited some 12 years to get divorced. They said they'd have to sell the house as a settlement and neither one of them wanted to pay capital gains on it so they just waited it out. Had their own lives and lifestyles. I guess it really depends on the couple, how long they've been apart and what their connection was when they were together. As for Mel, I'd think he would wait. Not so much for his soon to be ex-wife, but there are children involved. I would think that would be hard on them more than anything.

WOW...for hom to portray himself as a very religious person he sure is not being very christian like. Nothing wrong with him moving own, but he should wait at least until the ink is dried on their divorce papers before even seeking a replacement!!

I just read a blurb about Mel Gibson last night, actually... and I was thinking that pictures I've seen of him lately, he looks a little... creepy? Is it just me? Aaaaaanyway... in the article I read, it said that he has been supporting his girlfriend and her 11 year old son for a long time already and that he has bought homes to be close to them. I guess for him and the girlfriend, their relationship is FAR from new... so they probably didn't give a thought to going out in public as soon as it was formalized that he was divorcing. Must be uncomfortable for his spouse :\ In my own personal experience, when I got divorced my then-husband moved across the country, got a new job and met someone at work. They were living together before our divorce was even final. He never told me about her though and when he moved from his apartment into a townhouse with her, he told me and our kids that he was moving because his apartment was "too expensive" for him. BUT, being so far away, it didn't affect me because I never actually saw them together. That's the thing with celebrities... their lives are plastered all over the media so there isn't much room to do things gracefully some of the time. I think this is really a "case by case basis" kind of thing. Sometimes, couples are living separate lives for a really long time before a divorce and one or both may already be in other relationships -- sometimes those relationships are actually the catalyst to get the divorce done and over with. I think people should simply be respectful. It's one thing to go out to dinner with your new partner... it's quite another to swing by a family event, hosted by your former in-laws, to pick up your kids for visitation and you bring along the "new guy or girl". Kind of a common sense decision.

I do not think the necessary conditions for living together and the foundation. The two sides who can put forward. Is reasonable.

I say go for it Mel, he has been living under a rock for almost 5 months. She left him that long ago and just now filed for divorce. so its not like it was a wam bam thank you mam.

These bigtime hollywood types couldn't care less what anybody thinks. They are far to self absorbed to notice the little people, much less care what we think about their marriage and/or new girlfriend. Seeing as though Mel Gibson has been a bigshot hollywood star for decades, I'm suprised his marriage wasn't over years ago.
