Mel Gibson Raef-Ramirez/GSI Media

Mel Gibson is talking. (Quietly, and in a reasonable manner.)

"Who anticipates being recorded? Who anticipates that? Who could anticipate such a personal betrayal?" the actor said in his first sit-down since recordings of him lashing out at baby mama Oksana Grigorieva hit the Internet—and he ultimately pleaded no contest to hitting her.

"Of course" Gibson feels regret about what was on those tapes, he says, according to the interview obtained by Deadline Hollywood. But he also claims that the leaked tapes "were edited" and that he has "never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality—period."

Contrary to what Raz-B might think, Chris Brown says he's still onboard with being "a better person."

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and frustrated I am over what transpired publicly on Twitter."
