        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Braveheart&#8221; is in hot water yet again.</p><p>Just when you thought Mel Gibson was <strong>back in Hollywood&#8217;s good graces</strong>, actress Winona Ryder has alleged that the 64-year-old actor slandered her with an anti-Semitic slur while they were at a party in 1995. The &#8220;Stranger Things&#8221; star dropped the bombshell, which was <strong>first reported by GQ in 2010</strong>, while discussing her experiences with anti-Semitism in Hollywood in an interview with the <strong>UK-based Sunday Times</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends, and Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar,&#8221; Ryder, 48, told the news outlet. She added that something came up about the Jewish faith, at which point the &#8220;Mad Max&#8221; actor said, &#8220;You&#8217;re not an oven dodger, are you?&#8221; — an apparent reference to the way bodies of Jewish prisoners were incinerated in Nazi death camps.</p><p>At the same industry soiree, Ryder claims Gibson asked her friend, who is gay, &#8220;‘Oh, wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’&#8221;</p><p>Gibson has not responded to The Post&#8217;s request for comment, but Ryder has said he later tried to apologize for his offensive statements.</p><p>In the same interview, the &#8220;Reality Bites&#8221; star&nbsp; — who was born Winona Laura Horowitz — also claimed that an unnamed studio head said she &#8220;looked &#8216;too Jewish&#8217; &#8221; to star as a member of a blue-blooded family featured in an unspecified period piece she was shooting years ago.</p><p>Gibson was <strong>first accused of making anti-Semitic remarks in 2006</strong>, when he was stopped for a DUI near Malibu, California. The actor-director told a police officer, &#8220;Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world&#8221; and referred to the policewoman on the scene as &#8220;sugar tits.&#8221;</p><p>That wasn&#8217;t the first time Gibson&#8217;s rants ruffled feathers. People&#8217;s &#8220;Sexiest Man Alive&#8221; of 1985 infamously made homophobic comments to a Spanish newspaper in 1991, and said he wanted New York Times writer Frank Rich&#8217;s &#8220;intestines on a stick&#8221; after the critic skewered &#8220;The Passion of the Christ.&#8221;</p><p>In Gibson&#8217;s most notorious incident in 2010, <strong>tapes surfaced of epic misogynistic and racist tirades</strong> recorded by former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, with quotes including, &#8220;If you get raped by a pack of [N-words], it will be your fault.&#8221;</p><p>Grigorieva claimed he had punched her in the head and face on multiple occasions. Gibson pleaded no contest to a charge of misdemeanor battery in 2011 and served no jail time.</p><p>The Oscar-winning actor-director&#8217;s father, the <strong>late author Hutton Red Gibson</strong>, once gave an interview in which he <strong>declared the Holocaust &#8220;fiction.&#8221;</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
