Mel GibsonMel Gibson has made a second apology regarding his anti-Semitic remarks last week.

Mel made several sexist and anti-Semitic comments after he was arrested for drunk-driving on Friday morning including declaring that “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world” but his first apology did not address these comments directly.

He issued a more detailed apology yesterday saying: “I am not a bigot. I am in the process of understanding where those vicious words came form during that drunken display, and I am asking the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, to help me on my journey through recovery. Again, I am reaching out to the Jewish community for its help.”

The Anti-Defamation League in the US as accepted this second apology and National Director Abraham H Foxman is “glad that Mel Gibson has finally owned up to the fact that he made anti-Semitic remarks, and his apology sounds sincere. We welcome his efforts to repair the damage he has caused, to reach out to the Jewish community, and to seek help. Once he completes his rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, we will be ready and willing to help him with his second rehabilitation to combat this disease of prejudice.”
