Too sad; he has been a role model for many.

Well it sounds like he may have had a good reason according to this report from the New York Daily news. Notice they say he is  "famous for questioning the size of the h0Ɩ0cαųst". They actually didn't call him a h0Ɩ0cαųst denier, amazing!


Mel Gibson’s elderly father – famous for questioning the size of the h0Ɩ0cαųst – is reportedly claiming elder abuse at the hands of his younger wife.

Hutton Gibson, 93, filed divorce papers last week to end his 10-year marriage to Teddy Joye.

He claims his wife has been abusing him while he’s seriously ill and taking a slew of medications, TMZ.com reported.

Joye, 78, allegedly believes her husband’s family is prolonging his life unnecessarily and wants to discontinue the meds to accelerate his death, TMZ said.

She has clashed with her famous son-in-law over the position, TMZ said, and the “Braveheart” star has reportedly rushed to his dad’s aid, ensuring he’s getting all the prescribed drugs.

Hutton Gibson cited “irreconcilable differences” in his divorce filing, which he signed with a shaky signature.

The disillusioned World War II vet and arch-conservative Catholic had 10 children with his first wife in New York before moving the family to Australia with winnings from the TV game show “Jeopardy!”The couple adopted another child in Australia, and Gibson married Joye in 2002 after his first wife’s death.

When Hutton Gibson spoke to New York Times Magazine in 2003 and questioned historical accounts that six million Jєωs died in the h0Ɩ0cαųst, Joye "cheerfully piped in" with support.

“There weren’t even that many Jєωs in all of Europe,” she told the magazine from the couple's Texas home

I'd want a divorce too if my wife were trying to kill me.

From a legal standpoint, a divorce, in this circuмstance, may be the only option for survival.  If they are merely separated and he becomes hospitalized, as his legal wife, she would have the authority to discontinue any treatments.

We shouldn't be too hasty at passing judgment on Mr. Gibson.  

Meds can do strange things to people.  Hutton is 93 & before we start spouting accusations against ANYONE in that family, please keep in mind that this is one family that the press loves to stir up hate & rumors against.  As Catholics let's keep it civil & charitable until we really know the score.  They really don't need all this back & forth & speculation at this time.
