Winona Ryder: Mel Gibson Called Me an 'Oven Dodger'

THE GUARDIAN: Actor claims Gibson made antisemitic and homophobic remarks to her at a party more than 15 years ago

The actor Winona Ryder has claimed that Mel Gibson called her an "oven-dodger" in an apparent reference to her Jewish heritage at a party more than 15 years ago.

Ryder, 39, makes the accusation in an interview with GQ magazine. Gibson, who allegedly also made homophobic remarks about one of her friends on the same evening, was referencing the gas chambers used by Nazis to kill millions of Jews during the Holocaust, she believes. >>> Ben Child | Friday, December 17, 2010
