Mel Gibson responds to Winona Ryder’s Jewish ‘oven dodger’ accusations
lobbed anti-Semitic slurs at the actress at a Hollywood party in 1995.The “Stranger Things” star and Gen X icon accused Gibson in an interview Sunday of calling her an “oven dodger,” when he learned of her Jewish heritage. The offensive term is an apparent reference to Jewish prisoners who avoided being incinerated at Nazi death camps during World War II.“This is 100% untrue,” Gibson’s reps told The Post in an emailed statement.“She lied about it over a decade ago, when she talked to the press, and she’s lying about it now,” the reps said, referencing a 2010 GQ article in which Ryder, now 48, first mentioned the alleged incident.
