Mel Gibson’s downward spiral accelerated after RadarOnline obtained voicemails that he’d left for his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Oksana Grigorieva. Apparently, Gibson made “30 terrorizing telephone calls to her in 24 hours” after she ended their relationship. “The rantings are a twisted mix of more misogynistic insults and rage,” RadarOnline claimed. The double life of Gibson had finally been fully exposed.
In Hollywood, when the going gets tough, the tough get going (to somewhere as far away as possible). During the down and trying times, you learn who your true friends are, and Danny Glover was one of Gibson’s. “I love Mel. That’s my friend,” he told MTV. “He’s had tough times. We’ve all had tough times.” Glover said that he regularly checked in on Gibson and that when they collided at an LA memorial, “we ran up and hugged each other.”

Glover is an outspoken civil rights activist. Still, he stood by Gibson’s side throughout, despite him dropping the “n” bomb during one of his expletive-filled and rage-fueled Grigorieva voicemails. “Mel Gibson is my brother. I’ve been a part of the evolution of two men: myself and Mel. We’ve been around each other over 35 years,” Glover told EURweb.com Spotlight. “I see the spirit of generosity that is part of who he is. I’ve been around him enough to know that Mel is a good person, a good human being,” Glover insisted.
