Joe Eszterhas Has Tapes

You may have read about the letter screenwriter Joe Eszterhas penned where he described Mel Gibson as a Jew hater and all around angry dude. You may also have thought a lot of what he wrote was exaggerated because he’s bitter WB rejected his Jewish Braveheart script for the John Maccabee movie Mel wanted to make.

Joe wants to make it perfectly clear that not all of what he wrote was fiction and that he can back up most of it with recordings his son Nick made in Costa Rica. Joe doesn’t tell TMZ which quotes his son exactly taped only that he has ” a lot.” He also claims people who witnessed Mel’s rants are willing to come forward. Regarding his rejected script, “I’m heartbroken. I put my heart and soul into a script for someone who hates Jews.”

No one knows how badly this new scandal will affect Mel’s upcoming movie Get the Gringo but I’m sure he’ll at least be glad that once this comes out, his stereotyping of Mexico will get those Jews off his back.
