Mel Gibson tells girlfriend she "f**cking deserved" to get hit in face while holding baby daughter

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Mel Gibson is caught on tape admitting that he hit the mother of his love child, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

It’s another bombshell development, following our world exclusive when we revealed that Mel was taped spewing a vile, racist rant, telling Oksana Grigorieva, "You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault."

Now, RadarOnline.com is revealing even more content from the tape and this time Mel admits to hitting Oksana twice in the face while she was holding their baby daughter Lucia.

On tape, a teary Oksana is heard asking Mel, “What kind of a man is that who would hit a woman when she is holding a child in her hands, hitting her twice in the face?

“What kind of a man is that?” the Russian musician repeats.

The Braveheart star responds: “You know what — you f**cking deserved it.”

RadarOnline.com has heard the tape.

Mel’s sickening “you f**cking deserved it” admission sheds new light on the he-said, she-said battle that has been raging between Oksana and Mel for the past several weeks.

His legal team has insisted Mel did not hit Oksana and that they had only a loud argument. The disputed event apparently took place January 6 in his Malibu mansion.

But sources close to Oksana claimed she was left bloodied and bruised and had her two front teeth knocked out during the violent confrontation.

1. This whole scandal SHOULD be the end of his career.

But so should the drunken police station rant. We'll see.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. I immediately thought of the Chris Brown thing...

...and I've condemned what he did many times on DU...but one really has to wonder why Mel seems to be riding slightly above this one. Chris Brown, Michael Vick...the public screamed for these guys' heads on a pike, but the details keep coming out on Mel, and they just seem to evaporate like vapor trails in the air.

[Lorien]

8. He's a white male right winger who made a Jesus snuff film

that's probably a big reason why he's above the law. Man, I hope she and their kid get far away from that abusive prick!

[snooper2]

43. Exactly right, if this was Snoop Dog

You would hear Leslie Blitzer talk about it day after day...and Bildo

[Number23]

12. Funny about that, huh??

[Darth_Kitten]

17. Because he's just bashing his girlfriend here....no big deal....

Misogyny? Ho hum....who cares....next. :sarcasm:

[lunatica]

28. Because this is no surprise and people already don't like him

Vick and Brown had a public image like OJ Simpson's. Until the brutal ugly came out which was shocking. Mel's already fallen from grace and just keeps proving he's brutal ugly.

[LostinVA]

36. Exactly

[NoGOPZone]

48. Michael Vick had a good public image?

The same guy who was sued for giving a woman genital herpes and settled out of court? :rofl:

[lunatica]

49. He had and still has his loyal followers

DU erupted into flames over Vick for days and days.

[roguevalley]

60. susan sarandon called him an asshole years ago when he was

still powerful.

[pnwmom]

40. Gibson has a lot more money and influence -- in other words, power.

People don't want to cross him.

[melm00se]

33. being convicted of raping a child

didn't kill off Roman Polaski's career why should something as mundane as spousal battery kill his?

[pnwmom]

39. Because no one goes to a movie and has to look at Polaski's ugly face for 2 hours.

It is easier to ignore his involvement in any movie that is watched.

[Dank Nugs]

2. Looks like he just waived his 5th amendment rights and that recording would be admissible.

Fuck him. Humanity ill needs people like him. You don't hit the mother of your child. Ever. If you're angry, walk the fuck away asshole.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. Ok. I don't follow this jerk's day-to-day life but, GIRLFRIEND?

Didn't he just get divorced? Is he already beating his girlfriend?

I guess I don't know much about abusers but isn't there a "honeymoon period" before the beatings?

As a gay man, I was on to his homophobic shtick 15 years ago so none of this surprises me.

[NYC Liberal]

5. Question is, who the hell would want to be with this guy

when it's ALREADY known what kind of person he is?

Fuck him.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. Were they married?

It's the same woman you're thinking of (not a "new" girlfriend), and yes, they did just break up, but I didn't think they were married, just "significant others." I could be wrong. The article I linked to offered this:

Mel Gibson is caught on tape admitting that he hit the mother of his love child, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

...which is why I made that assumption.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. From Wiki:

It's unclear where the girlfriend comes in but he was, in fact, married prior to or at the same time as the girlfriend.

This is about all the research I can stand on that asshole:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Gibson#Family
Family
Gibson met Robyn Denise Moore in the late 1970s soon after filming Mad Max when they were both tenants at a house in Adelaide. At the time, Robyn was a dental nurse and Mel was an unknown actor working for the South Australian Theatre Company.<49> On June 7, 1980, they were married in a Catholic church in Forestville, New South Wales.<50> The couple have one daughter, six sons, and two grandchildren.<51> Their seven children are Hannah (born 1980), twins Edward and Christian (born 1982), William (born 1985), Louis (born 1988), Milo (born 1990), and Thomas (born 1999).

Daughter Hannah Gibson married blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd on September 16, 2006.<52><53> Gibson's spokesman previously had denied a rumor that Hannah was planning to become a nun.<54>

After nearly three years of separation, Robyn Gibson filed for divorce on April 13, 2009, citing irreconcilable differences. In a joint statement, the Gibsons declared, "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."<8>

Gibson's former girlfriend, Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva, has a son with former boyfriend, actor Timothy Dalton.<55> On October 30, 2009, Grigorieva gave birth to their daughter, Lucia.<56> On April 14, 2010, People magazine announced that he and Grigorieva had split.<57> In June 2010, she filed for a restraining order against him, claiming he had physically assaulted her.<58> Gibson was barred from coming near Grigorieva or their daughter.<59> In response, on June 25, 2010, it was announced that Gibson had filed for a restraining order<60> against Grigorieva to prevent her from speaking publicly about the case.<61><58>

[Amerigo Vespucci]

11. She's the girlfriend, his most recent long-term S.O.

I didn't realize he ended up with her so soon after the divorce, but that's who she is...the post-marriage girlfriend, who had his baby, the baby she was holding when he smacked her in the face twice before telling her she "fucking deserved it."

If this isn't a career-ender, I will take it as proof that Satan has this prick's soul in a jar somewhere.

[LostinVA]

20. No, she was a pre-divorce GF

They were together quite a while before Robin Gibson filed for divorce. They lived together, and she had his child something like three months after his divorce. And, HE has a restraining order out against HER. WTF.

[LostinVA]

18. He began dating her while he was still legally married to Robin Gibson

He and Oksana have been together for at least two years.

[Rex]

9. What a fucking dick.

EOM

[Luminous Animal]

10. How much do you want to bet that he'll be able to raise money to make another movie.

And how much do you want to bet that self-professed anti-racists, pro-women people will go to see it. Many of them Democrats.

Mel Gibson should be shut down. He should be shunned. He should live the rest of his life in lonely misery.

[political_Dem]

13. Gibson's latest transgressions reveal a sad fact about America.

Racists don't lose their jobs. They only get more famous and make money from the notoriety. Hell, if Gibson keeps on shooting his mouth off, he might be a talk show host on FOX, like his predecessors Hannity and Beck.

After all, we all know that with Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh, their racism and misogyny only catapulted their careers while their fans pretend that such animus was only a "strike against political correctness" as well as "not really racist".

America started out honoring racists who did the most heinous things to people of color. And while white privilege is still a part of this current society, it won't stop.

So, Mel Gibson will have a career for a long time coming, much to the chagrin of a lot of people. :(

[BlueIris]

15. It is horrifying, isn't it?

People will continue to see his films and they will continue to make money.

[political_Dem]

16. Yes it is. That simple fact is what makes this a crying shame on many levels.

[LostinVA]

21. I don't get why people are focusing on the racism

In everything that's come out about him lately, it's misogynism and domestic violence that's been at the forefront. I'm not discounting the racism, but it puzzles me that that's what everyone really talks about.

[Liquorice]

63. I agree. It's strange. It would be like if Gibson had gone on a

30 minute tirade of calling a black person every every racist name he could think of, beat the person up, but while he was at it, he said the word "whore"... Then instead of focusing on the obvious racism, everyone said Gibson was a sexist. It just doesn't make sense to focus almost all the attention on that one word, when what he said and did was overwhelmingly misogynistic.

It must be that misogyny is more tolerated in our culture.

[LostinVA]

65. Just like how his homophobic has been brushed aside all these years

But, misogyny is the root of homophobia, imo.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

67. exactly. sometimes racists do lose their jobs. Misogynists? Never.

Imus lost his due to the racist aspect of his remarks. The misogyny was a pale tiny subtext of the whole flap.

Fuzzy Geller, many years ago, was pilloried for a racist joke about Tiger Woods.

Micheal Vick, though he seems to be back in good grace, was rightly lambasted for egregious animal abuse.

Numerous women,s careers are toppled for their crimes of over sexualizing themselves (ironic, in a hypersexualized culture).

However, men (and women! Sad to say) have *always* been welcome to build their careers on a sound footing of woman bashing, whether verbal or physical.

[HEyHEY]

14. Does this mean we now know what Jesus would do?

[Broke In Jersey]

19. They deserved each other - both are losers

rule 1) Don't be a homewrecker
rule 2) If you become a homewrecker...what kind of guy do you think you are getting that would totally abandon his wife and kids?
rule 3) If you hit a woman - you lose all cedibility of being a man.

[LostinVA]

22. She wasn't a homewrecker at all, and I'm offended by your blaming the victim

He and Robin Gibson had been separated for years, they just kept it quiet until she filed for divorce and it came out that they'd been separated for over three years. Robin supported him when he was trying to make it big, put up with god knows what, and rightfully is getting alot of the money he earned because of her.

Secondly, your "1.)" very much puts a chunk for her abuse on her. And, your header VERY MUCH implies she deserves this treatment. WTF. For shame.

[Fleshdancer]

24. No one deserves to be abused

rule 1) not every second wife (or girlfriend? I'm not sure of their relationship status) is a home wrecker.
rule 2) if a he beats on the second wife/girlfriend, the odds are high that he beat his first wife too so I'm glad the first one took her kids and herself far away from him. I hope the second wife/girlfriend does the same.
rule 3) We're in agreement on this one.

[Tailormyst]

25. That is a really fucked up post

No woman deserves to be hit.

And one other thing, she was not a homewrecker.

I want to add a whole lot more to this post, but in light of DU rules I will not.

[pipi_k]

29. I agree with the "both of them are losers" part

Number one...

I've seen women who live with abusive men deliberately go over and pick up the child/baby, in a way using the baby as a human shield to prevent themselves from being hit.

I'm not saying in any way that women deserve to be hit, but knowing a guy will hit, and will probably hit even if they're holding their child? That's some sick shit there.



Number two...

Women who keep ALLOWING the man to hit them by continuing to put up with it.


Although I don't agree with the "Don't be a homewrecker" part. The "other woman" isn't the homewrecker. The only homewrecker is the person who knowingly went outside the relationship/marriage. He or she is the one who owes fidelity to his/her partner.



I know I'll also probably be accused of "blaming the victim", but people can say what they want.

Unless someone is physically holding another person hostage, there is NO reason for putting up with this kind of bullshit.

[LostinVA]

35. You just insulted many, many domestic violence victims

You appear rather uneducated on "batter Woman Syndrome" and other issues associated with this. there are many good websites out there.

47. Mel is the homewrecker.

Place the blame where it belongs. He's an adult who was fully capable of handling the dissolution of his marriage like an adult. He decided to wreck his home life instead.

[thereismore]

51. Well said. nt

[blondeatlast]

54. Good point (and this comes from a wronged wife). Thank you for stating what should be so obvious. nt

[blondeatlast]

53. Really? REALLY? I lost my ex to a "homewrecker" but she doesn't deserve that

kind of treatment from me, my ex, or anyone else.

TYhat's some fucked-up thinking, IMHO.

[roguevalley]

61. he's really messed up. billionaire who has no one to tell him to

stop or shut up, run away drunk, serious manhood issues resulting in homophobic mania and outright disfunctional maleness. he was raised among about eleven kids by a father who was pre-vatican two catholic, who left america to find a haven of other assholes who wanted latinate rites and other pre-lib ideas. His father probably used a belt on his ass a lot and his father is a holocaust denier and outrageous anti-semite. given his fetishes about being abused in each movie- braveheart (crucifixion) the 40+ minute beating in Passion which no one would have survived, leaving in the blood slander which no one noticed because it was in aramaic) he is one fucked up dude. His religion is torture, his shaky manhood is torture and he is a self medicating drunk.

He is a mess and he needs to go away. I don't think he knows what to do except move and rage.

[LostinVA]

66. Oskana also didn't "wreck" anything

Gibson and his wife were separated for about 18 months before Gibson and Oskana became an item.

I still am shocked a post saying a woman desrevd her beating is still up. WTF.

[pokerfan]

23. Stick a fork in him

He's done.

[Javaman]

30. the slow death spiral of fame.

mel needs to either go to prison or just vanish.

[Blue Owl]

31. Oksana, there are better fish in the sea than this scumbag

Time to dump that POS.

[The Backlash Cometh]

37. Have you all noticed how he plays the same role?

A white man looking for a justifiable reason to go ballistic.

[LostinVA]

38. And all of the Christ Imagery he gives himself in his movies?

[Scout]

45. actually, he doesn't

Tim
The Man Without a Face
Forever Young
The River
Signs
We Were Soldiers
What Women Want
Chicken Run
Pocahontas
The Bounty
The Year of Living Dangerously
Gallipoli


not to defend his actions in his personal life, but statements like you made in your post are just silly.

[The Backlash Cometh]

50. Good point.

But I still think he encapsulates the genre.

In the Patriot, he's a good man, who goes ballistic.
In the Mad Max Movies, he's just minding his own business, when he gets provoked and goes ballistic.
In the Lethal Weapon series, he's ballistic from the beginning.
In Braveheart, he's an innocent kid who has a date with destiny...to go ballistic.
In Payback, he's a bad guy who meets even badder guys and you side with him as he goes ballistic.
And in Edge of Darkness, well, he goes ballistic again. At least this time, justice is "served" when he dies. Even then, he gets what he wants by meeting up with his dead daughter.

It's his genre. Sympathetic characters who have a justifiable reason for going ballistic.

[blondeatlast]

55. Now that you mention it--yup. Even in his so-called "comedies." nt

[PBS Poll-435]

41. The Passion 2!

(For the kids)

[LatteLibertine]

42. I haven't supported any

project Mel has been involved in for some time.

The man is definitely out of his mind and he disgusts me on many levels.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. Mel's a big-time christian

I expect a tearful apology, jimmy-Swaggart-style. Then all will be forgiven and he can go back to his anti-everything rants.

:hi:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

46. And as a Christian, I distance myself from Mel-style, Swaggart-style "Christians."

If I could leave one lasting impression on DU...one simple thought, one direct and heartfelt message, it would be that "Christian" defines a person who "professes to believe in Jesus Christ."

In short, all you have to do is SAY you're in the club to BE in the club.

And the one thing any true Christian will tell you, I believe, is that there IS no club.

It's one-on-one. Church is a social thing. Organized religion is a comfort zone for people who need to be told how to think.

I believe what I believe, and respect the right of every man, woman and child to believe what THEY believe.

So Mel's "Christian" standing flies in the face of his behavior. He ain't one of us, and there really IS no "us."

"Us" is a big umbrella designed to provide shade for people who are weak in spirit.

:patriot:

[blondeatlast]

57. +1 gazillinty jillion.

Beautifully put, thanks.

[roguevalley]

62. and to be a christian is to love. to be the love and to give it

its not to be the biggest asshole on the planet, to judge others, to build your own church because you wanna push a point. its to take the rabbi's teachings and be better and more kind and more decent. that is what a christian is and for that, he will never find the peace he seeks because he has no idea how to do any of these things. that is his curse.

[thereismore]

52. He did that already, after his anti-semitic drunken rant. I don't think he is allowed another. nt

[Mimosa]

56. He must be drinking. n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

58. I can't wait for the charges to be brought against him

If for no other reason just because he's a misogynistic, racist, anti-Semitic jerk who likes to hit women. He denied hitting her and said she "was fine when she left" him. He even went so far as to say he had no idea what she did after that. I can't see how he can weasel out of it now. This should be decent evidence he lied to the police and assaulted his girlfriend. They'll have to pursue her claims now.

[polly7]

59. Straight to jail, do not pass go.

He made some decent movies to watch but apparently is only 'brave' behind closed doors. What a freak. That poor woman.

[quinnox]

64. His last movie sucked

I saw Edge of Darkness and it was a terrible movie. The only movies I ever saw that I liked Mel Gibson in was the Mad Max movies.

Braveheart was a ridiculous and unintentionally funny movie and I can't believe how many people liked it and that it won awards. And the scene when he is carried in on a cross in the movie like he is christ or something had me laughing at how absurd it all was.

Screw Mel Gibson, he is a big time loser.

[Marr]

69. The Bounty was good.

He made a great Fletcher Christian, and Anthony Hopkins was really good as Bligh.

[Marr]

68. You know, I've always tried to separate the individual from their work--

and the fact is that I've enjoyed a lot of Mel Gibson's work in the past. But this is so over he line... I don't think I could enjoy anything produced by someone this deplorable.
