Give it a fucking rest. The man is simply a man. An actor at that. He is not the person you see on screen and love. He is not whichever character you think of when looking at him. He's a hard working family man suffering the weight of wanting to make important art and leave a legacy of his work. He also seems to be a man that want's to understand the human experience while also walking the tightrope called the Catholic belief - one that many would agree force a large amount of guilt and (like all religion or dogmatic belief systems) a fair amount of contridiction. He's also human and suffers from an addiction problem, gee i bet he's the only one with that problem right?!? Fuck it man, at least he's trying and unlike many of us actually succeeding for the most part. The shame for him and his family is that he's in the limelight. One man's bad night and stupid mistake becomes another man's Worldwide newsbyte.
People say stupid shite when they're pissed. Yes, I'll agree that to a certain extent alcohol lubricates your inhibitions. A certain amount of alcohol does that. A bit more and causality goes right out the fucking window. Just because certain things go through your head doesn't mean they are things you believe or act on. Usually. Add alcohol and it's a stream-of-consciousness-experience. Shit enters your head and you say it. It could be something you've read or seen. Yep, it could be something you've even thought but then disreguarded. If you honestly believe that you've never thought untoward shit about people or situations and then consciously written off that thought then you're full of shit. No-one's that pristine.
Give the man a break and allow for human nature. If someone fucks up (and he did fuck up) let them know and then let them better themselves. Any more than that and it's more than possible you're actually attacking someone else for your own mistakes and issues (insert every fundamentalist christian evangalist who got done for corruption and sexual misconduct here).
