'You know what? You deserved it': Foul-mouthed Mel Gibson 'caught on tape admitting he hit ex-girlfriend'

Mel Gibson allegedly told the mother of his youngest child she 'deserved' to be hit, it was claimed today.

The actor is alleged to have beaten former lover Oksana Grigorieva while she was holding their daughter Lucia in her arms.

Miss Grigorieva has photographs of her 'bloodied and bruised' face in the wake of a confrontation with the Oscar-winner, it has previously been claimed.

But today US website Radar Online reported that Gibson had admitted hitting his former girlfriend during an argument - allegedly recorded on tape - on January 6.



More claims: Mel Gibson's ex Oksana Grigorieva, allegedly has photographs of her 'bloodied and bruised'

Miss Grigorieva can be heard saying: 'What kind of 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 man, allegedly Gibson, then says: 'You know what? You f*****g deserved it.'



Gibson has denied hitting Miss Grigorieva but said that they had had a loud argument.



She is said to have ended up with two black eyes and had her two front teeth knocked out, a source said.

'You can see Oksana's two main front teeth were broken and there are bruises all over her face,' said the insider, who claims to have seen the alleged photos, told Radar Online.

'They will come out eventually and she is prepared to use them in their court case.'

It has previously emerged that Gibson, 54, was allegedly caught on tape in a racist and threatening tirade against Grigorieva, the mother of his baby daughter Lucia.

In one of the recordings, obtained by the same US website, the actor allegedly tells 40-year-old Grigorieva that the way she is dressed will get her 'raped by a pack of n******'.

'You're an embarrassment to me,' the Oscar-winning director and actor allegedly said.

'You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault.'



The couple's eight-month-old daughter can be heard screaming in the background, it was claimed.



A lawyer for the Mad Max star has previously 'emphatically denied' he was violent toward the Russian singer during an incident that took place at Gibson's Malibu mansion on January 6.



Gibson, 54, and Grigorieva, 40, split in April after dating for a year.



The news of the photos comes a week after the pair filed restraining orders against each other.



A judge later warned them to keep quiet about their legal wrangles.



The Russian musician - who also has a son from a relationship with former James Bond star Timothy Dalton - filed a restraining order against her ex-lover first, prohibiting him from coming within 100 yards of her.



Gibson has seven children with former wife Robyn, with whom he split in April 2009 after 30 years of marriage.



He stunned Hollywood in 2006 after he made anti-Semitic comments to police officers who arrested him for drink-driving.



'F***ing Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,' he said.



His criminal record was cleared in October 2009.
