I love being right.
<---My face, still.

And what kind of person keeps a recording device around to tape someone just to use it against them later? I'd say they deserve each other.
Because people in abusive relationships should not keep proof of the abuse, since in court, simply saying you were abused will hold in court, epsecially when Mel has the best lawyers money can buy and a good part of the public backing him. Shame on her for keeping record of the abuse he tossed her way.
People should not keep record of abuse! Especially when your partner can bury you in court!
/sarcasm.
She wouldn't have recorded him if she did not have a reason to do so. To assume she was some sort of conniving person out to get him is pretty damn out there. In any case, I do love how we're ignoring how he was being racist like a em-effer (EDIT: holy shit, did I just get filtered? lawl), despite having gotten in trouble for shit like this in the past. Oye! Time for some more public apologies and public statements!

Why should someone's personal life be public? How is it anyone else's business?
I don't see how this is any different from someone coming out and saying "so and so said this or that". No one throws a fit with a situation like that, but here it is a problem? Whatever.
I hope this is not another case of "don't slam my favorite actor wah wah".

I have to agree with this. it is his life his beliefs and he is entitled to them no matter how repulsive or wrong the rest of us think they are.
Just like he's entitled to the shit that he gets when his personal beliefs are made known to people. If he gets shit for thinking and saying such things, it's his own fault. No one told him to be racist and a shitstain towards his wife.
