I don’t know Robyn Gibson, but I am on her side. The woman who spent 28 years putting up with the growing nuttiness (or maybe he was nutty to begin with but had a better publicist?) that is Mel Gibson is now filing for divorce. The couple has 7 kids and are devout Roman Catholics - which ought to make this whole divorce situation a little bit tricky.
Robyn was with Mel through all the high points of his career, but they got together before he was anything close to famous. Robyn was a 24 year old dental assistant when she and Mel got married in Australia. There have been rumors about him cheating on her for years, and photos recently surfaced of him “canoodling” (dear tabloids: I hate that word) with another woman. Of course, Mel and Robyn didn’t have a prenup, so of course, Robyn is going to totally clean him out. And I say good for her! Starting out as an assistant, raising seven kids while your husband was off jaunting around the world being a giant movie star, dealing with the fallout from that embarrassing arrest, plus enduring his philandering? I say give the woman what she deserves. Congratulations, Robyn, after you get your $400 million or so settlement, you may in fact be the most successful STA former assistant done good ever!
