Gary Oldman has written a letter apologizing for statements he made in a Playboy interview that have been slammed by Jewish groups. In a letter to the Anti-Defamation League, Oldman said he was "deeply remorseful" for the comments about Mel Gibson, which the ADL said put forward anti-Semitic stereotypes. "I am deeply remorseful that comments I recently made in the Playboy Interview were offensive to many Jewish people," Oldman said. "Upon reading my comments in print -- I see how insensitive they may be, and how they may indeed contribute to the furtherance of a false stereotype. Anything that contributes to this stereotype is unacceptable, including my own words on the matter."

"Mel Gibson is in a town that's run by @placeholder and he said the wrong thing because he's actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him -- and doesn't need to feed him anymore because he's got enough dough," Oldman said in the interview.

If you read the Playboy piece correctly and entirely, and in context, it is the hypocrisy of political correctness that @placeholder is addressing, nothing else."
