Entertainment Winona Ryder claims Mel Gibson made anti-Semitic, homophobic remarks

Winona Ryder is coming forward with allegations against Mel Gibson, saying he made anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks.

During an interview published last weekend in the U.K. by The Sunday Times, the actress said the 64-year-old actor and filmmaker made the remarks at a party but didn't specify when or to whom the comments were directed.

"We were at a crowded party with one of my good friends, and Mel Gibson was smoking a cigar, and we’re all talking and he said to my friend, who’s gay, ‘Oh, wait, am I gonna get AIDS?’" Ryder said. "And then something came up about Jews, and he said, ‘You’re not an oven dodger, are you?’”

The Times reports that Gibson "tried" to apologize to Ryder, 48, at a later date.

In a statement to USA TODAY on Tuesday, Gibson's representative Alan Nierob said Ryder's claims are "100% untrue."

"She lied about it over a decade ago, when she talked to the press, and she’s lying about it now. Also, she lied about him trying to apologize to her back then," Nierob's statement said. "He did reach out to her, many years ago, to confront her about her lies and she refused to address it with him."

Ryder responded to USA TODAY with a statement describing the exchange as a "painful and vivid memory."

“I believe in redemption and forgiveness and hope that Mr. Gibson has found a healthy way to deal with his demons, but I am not one of them," Ryder told USA TODAY in a statement sent by her representative, Rachel Karten. "Around 1996, my friend Kevyn Aucoin and I were on the receiving end of his hateful words. It is a painful and vivid memory for me. Only by accepting responsibility for our behavior in this life, can we make amends and truly respect each other, and I wish him well on this lifelong journey."

“There are times when people have said, ‘Wait, you’re Jewish? But you’re so pretty!’ There was a movie that I was up for a long time ago, it was a period piece, and the studio head, who was Jewish, said I looked ‘too Jewish’ to be in a blue-blooded family," she said.

Ryder also shared another disheartening Hollywood anecdote. This time it was during the filming of "Bram Stoker’s Dracula" (1992), when she was 20.

The actress says that director Francis Ford Coppola was off camera, shouting, “You whore! You whore!”

Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu (Reeves) … Francis was trying to get all of them to yell things that would make me cry. But Keanu wouldn’t, Anthony wouldn’t. ... It just didn’t work. I was, like, really? It kind of did the opposite.”

But “me and Francis are good now," she added
