TMZ is reporting that actor/director Mel Gibson lost his cool and exploded in anger at a college campus the other night. Gibson was speaking to a film class about his movies and an expert on Mayan culture accussed him of racially stereotyping the Mayans in the movie “Apocalypto.”

After Gibson’s presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.
Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, “Lady, F**k off.”
We’re told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we’re told Gibson screamed a parting shot — “Make your own movie!”
Gibson’s publicist seems to have come to a realization by saying “He needs more anger management training. It’s time to be cool.” No kidding?
Now, I like Mel as both an actor and a director, but he seriously needs to mellow out a bit. Maybe he should have a drink and relax, errr…scratch that. He should get a Playstation.
Mel Goes Ballistic — “Lady, F**k Off!”
