The View women have just seemed crazier ever since Whoopi has been on the show. Which, in my opinion is a good thing. Yesterday, Radar Online’s editor, David Perel, was on the show. They discussed the release of Mel Gibson’s tapes. As any good reporter would do, he denied who his source was. We all know who, but he denied it. He also said the tapes were not paid for, which we all know is bull shit.
Whoopi who has in the past supported Mel, but does not support violence, but believes Mel is a good man went after David. She asked Perel why the tapes would not of been turned over to the police instead of used for their site to bring in money. He stated the police already had them and then later asked for comment which they did not.
Radar Online reported:
Behar first asked Perel how RadarOnline.com obtained the tapes that by now, everyone has heard.
“That’s the question everybody asks,” Perel said. “A lot of hard digging, good reporters, good editors and it took a long time.”
Asked if RadarOnline.com forked over cash for the tapes, Perel responded, “No we have not, we have not paid for them … no money has changed hands.”
Perel said the Web site dug deep into the story, which started with restraining orders from both camps, and continued mushrooming as more details sprang forth.
Shepherd asked how we acquired the world exclusive interview with Oksana Grigorieva last week in the parking lot of a Southern California grocery store, to which Perel responded was the result of persistent efforts to interview the former girlfriend of Gibson.
“Finally, we got her at the grocery store,” Perel said. “Finally, and this is what you don’t see, is that behind our Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard, there’s two cameramen trying to get in there, and he’s keeping them out.”
Goldberg then asked Perel why the Web site published the sensitive information.
“Because it’s a news story, because it’s a celebrity that’s involved in a criminal investigation,” Perel said. “This is reporting the news, that’s what we do, this is an entertainment news Web site. We go out, we report stories and as you know, this was picked up by every major network.”
When asked if he felt Grigorieva tried to set Gibson up, Perel said, “it doesn’t seem to be supported by the evidence.”
Whoopi just does not trust Oksana and her motivation behind the release of the tapes. She asked why did she not report it to the police and wait for these tapes to come out. We all know that Oksana wants a large amount of money and that is why she has done this.
The rest of the cast was in disgust though of how Radar Online took advantage of a baby and released it’s photo for money purposes. Perel stated there are only a few more tapes left.
Obviously Mel has problems, but what has caused these problems. Is it these traquelizers they are talking about, or other type of drugs. Or has the women completely made him nuts? I do not support violence at all, and believe a man should never hit a women. It is ashame that this has all happened and such a great actor has been put in a situation like this.
