After getting theĀ 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 Gibsonās alleged tirades and fantasies to co-hostĀ Ann Curry.
From a scenario of āsexual butcheryā involving Gibsonās ex Oksana
Grigorieva that Gibson allegedly shared with Eszterhasās son, then 15,
to the claim that Gibson wanted to useĀ The Maccabees to convert Jews to Christianity, theĀ Flashdance screenwriter didnāt pull any punches.
Calling his script āa Jewish Braveheart,ā Eszterhas called
Gibson āheinous,ā āvile,ā āviolent,ā and āthreatening,ā saying his son
was so afraid of Gibsonās behavior that he filmed it on his iPod for
proof.
