Why is everyone being so mean?

I think people are not necessarily making fun of him, just finding humor in the situation. And although he brain injury has magnified his behavior, he has always been this way. He is believed to also have ADHD and has always been a little "wacky" since childhood.

I have sympathy for the brain injury he suffered so many years ago, and I admire much of his work and the fact that he was able to overcome the lasting damage and have such a prolific career. I don't think the "who would sleep with him?" comments are at all okay. That said, I don't think you can excuse all of his behavioral issues by blaming the accident. He has a long public history of abusing drugs and abusing women. I also think it's extremely worrisome that a person known for such erratic and unstable behavior however "not his fault" it is will now be raising a tiny little baby. Frankly, I think that's fair for people to voice concern about.
I think the thing that concerns me most now, and has for the last few years, is the circle of people who are influencing and manipulating this man who doesn't seem 100% capable of making decisions for himself. Anyone see celebrity rehab? His "handlers" signed him on to that show telling him he was there as a counsellor, but the show had him pegged as a patient. He was a sad shell at times and a laughing stock at others, and didn't seem to be able to recognize how he was being used. I could've cried for him. He needs to clean house of these "managers" and have someone in place who will really look out for him, not trot him out like a show animal into any piece of crap that brings them a check. They have laws to protect child actors who can't make their own decisions; there should be a law to stop people from abusing actors like Gary. -

Very well said paperbag_princess
.
The problem is - thb68ere are too many trolls on here with no lives. They feel that insulting Gary is fun for them. I think it's very coldhearted and immature. I've been a fan of Gary since 1980. It hurts when people insult him

Gary is so terribly underrated and underused and underestimated and I believe that's why he just gave up and began to act the way people thought he was - Nuts ! He has a new baby on the way (or born now maybe) he apparently has a woman.. Maybe he'll be half-way happy. I always liked him and hoped the best for him. He has a light..

I think he's a great actor. Which is why it is so disturbing that he used his talent to portray an over-the-top evil Jewish stereotype in a movie, wildly popular in Turkey, that is so hyper-critical of the U.S. that it makes it look worse than the worst of Nazi Germany. The movie is an attack not on individuals or specific incidents or policy, but on the country as a whole, with "EVIL!" part of the national character.
"Iraq: Valley of the Wolves" - http://www.imdb.com/board/10493264/
If some Turks want to make a one-sided propaganda film, then whatever, that's their prerogative. But did Gary Busey really need the paycheck that badly? -

I love Gary. People just dont understand.
He was thrown off a motorcycle when he wrecked and it caused permanent damage to the frontal lobe of the brain. This is the part of the brain that controls your impulses and censors your speech. None of it his fault!
I am eager for his future work.

Umhe was driving a motorcycle, possibly without a helmet, or so some other poster said. So yes, it IS his fault, technically. He made risky choices and had to suffer the unfortunate consequences. -

He has permanent brain damage because he didn't wear a helmet riding his motorcycle. He was a stupid jackass before then if you look at interviews and so for long before the accident. Face it - his elevator never ran to the top floor from day one.
But he opens himself up for jokes and comments appearing where he or at least his family, friends & handlers know he's going to make an ass out of himself. If it had only happened once or twice, fine, but when he/they allow him to do it repeatedly, he's opening himself up for ridicule, jokes and so forth about his appearance and actions.
Publicity and fame is a double-edged sword. Celebrities do whatever they can to get coverage by the press and other media. The price for that coverage is being covered and if they don't know how to handle themselves - it's their fault. Frankly, who the hell cares his opinion of vendors in a gift suite in Hollywood during awards week? That's the just the latest / most current episode.
If family & friends were that concerned, they'd keep him away from the cameras and microphonesbut anytime he makes an ass out of himself like that, it increases people's awareness of him and keeps his name buzzing around Hollywood where someone may decide to cast him and pay him to make a jackass of himself.
