Mel Gibson has been caught in another bigoted rant, said Radaronline.com. In a tape released last week, the actor calls his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, a “c---” and a “whore,” threatens to burn down her house, and warns that her provocative clothes may lead her to be “raped by a pack of n----rs.” Grigorieva and Gibson are currently engaged in a bitter legal battle over their 8-month-old daughter, and she recorded the messages to prove that Gibson is “dangerous and violent.” Gibson has yet to comment.
