After getting the Anti-Defamation League on his side, Maccabees screenwriter Joe Eszterhas continued his campaign against Mel Gibson this morning on the Today
show. Detailing a series of stomach-churning accusations, Eszterhas
related Gibson’s alleged tirades and fantasies to co-host Ann Curry.
From a scenario of “sexual butchery” involving Gibson’s ex Oksana
Grigorieva that Gibson allegedly shared with Eszterhas’s son, then 15,
to the claim that Gibson wanted to use The Maccabees to convert Jews to Christianity, the Flashdance screenwriter didn’t pull any punches.
Calling his script “a Jewish Braveheart,” Eszterhas called
Gibson “heinous,” “vile,” “violent,” and “threatening,” saying his son
was so afraid of Gibson’s behavior that he filmed it on his iPod for
proof.
