This time the Return of Mel Gibson's stardom is in definite jeopardy. "If the tapes are legitimate, if they were obtained legally and if she's not guilty of extortion, I would say he's going to county jail," says Santa Monica criminal defense attorney Steve Cron. Gibson could face felony or misdemeanor charges of making criminal threats, should a prosecutor determine that the facts of the case warrant prosecution, Cron says. Mel has been in the spotlight outside movies many times before, his famous rant on jews while he was drunk put him low on the spotlight, drunk driving also didn't help his reputation. However he did it, he came back to stardom and people stated appreciating him. However, this is strike three, Mel is old enough in his life where and his career where it will be a hard task to make another come back.
