Mel Gibson investigated over domestic abuse allegations
Friday, July 9th, 2010
Hollywood star Mel Gibson is being investigated by police over domestic abuse allegations.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s office launched the investigation following the leaking of a tape in recent days, purportedly featuring Gibson yelling at then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
On the tape, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Gibson is reportedly heard having a racist rant, allegedly yelled at the Russian singer and calling her a “whore”, a “c***” and a “b****”.
“You’re an embarrassment to me,” he reportedly tells her at one point during the row. “You look like a f***ing pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n****rs, it will be your fault.”
Oksana – the 40-year-old mother of Gibson’s baby daughter Lucia – secretly taped his outbursts.
RadarOnline also claimed it has listened to a tape recording made after a January 6 altercation in which Grigorieva can be heard saying: “What kind of a man is it 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?”
A person, supposedly Gibson, then says: “You know what? You f***ing deserved it.”
A statement released by the Sheriff’s department reads: “An investigation of domestic violence was launched by [Los Angeles Sheriff's] Malibu/Lost Hills station detectives… involving actor Mel Gibson and his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
“The detective in charge of the investigation is currently gathering information regarding the allegations. Due to the investigation being preliminary in nature, no other information is available at this time.”
The statement refers to an incident between the couple occurring on January 6, 2010 – the same day the explosive tape was reportedly made.
