Mel Gibson's 28 Year Marriage A Statistic - Page 2
If there is a fight, Robyn is in good hands — she's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has handled divorces for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Stevie Wonder.
The soon to be exes issued a joint statement about the news:
"Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."
I doubt very many people who know the "real" Mel Gibson are surprised, the guy is a complete mess and in recent year's his inability to control the crazy, drunken disaster which lurks within, has become evident.
I used to LOVE Mel Gibson back in the 80's. The Mad Max series were some of my favorite films and he was really great in a number of other lesser known films like The River (with Sissy Spacek) and Tim, Gallipoli. Mel, like many troubled but talented stars, seems to stray from one extreme to other in their behavior. Gibson has stated on numerous occasions that he has battled alcoholism most of his adult life and in 2002 stated in an interview that he suffers from manic depression.
While I feel sorry for anyone afflicted with this type of mental condition, Mel has to take responsibility for his actions, regardless of what else is going on in his life. I hope he treats Robyn, his soon to be ex and mother of his 7 children, with the same respect and gratitude he has spoken of towards her over the years, because it sure seems like she's put up with A LOT.
