Mad Mel Hates Ukrainians! Co-Star Says Gibson Detests The Entire Nationality After Fall-Out With Ex Oksana Grigorieva

Mel Gibson is still angry, and he's taking it out an entire nation!
According to a new report, the 58-year-old hothead — known best for the racist and homophobic rants caught on tape by RadarOnline.com — has real resentment towards Ukrainian women and refuses to even speak with them.
"He doesn't like to communicate with Ukrainian or Russian girls anymore," actress and the actor's Expendables 3 co-star Natalie Burn said.
The distaste allegedly stems from his volatile and failed relationship with ex, Oksana Grigorieva, and the bitter custody battle over their daughter together, 4-year-old Lucia.
Burn plays Gibson's wife in the big screen flick, and was born in the Ukraine, but was specifically told NOT to tell Gibson for fear of being shunned — or losing the role altogether.
"The producer was very nice, and he advised me not to tell him," Burn said.

"If Mel knowns your'e from there, he kind of just turns around and leaves."
So when Gibson asked where Burn was from he asked if she was Brazilian to which she replied, "Yeah, that works."
"We actually became friends afterward," Burn said.
"He's a good enough guy. I hope he can judge people not by what he believes, but by what he sees."
