The fight between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva is far from over and now Mel’s ex is bringing new evidence of possible child abuse.

Oksana is alleging that Mel hit his daughter Lucia, (now 8 months old) and left a bruise on the baby’s chin. There apparently are photographs of Lucia after the incident that show bruising on her chin. According to a lawyer for Oksana, they plan on using the photos in court in order to strip custody away from Mel.

Grigorieva also claims that Gibson lunged at her to hit her while she was holding the couple’s baby as well, who was only two months old at the time. She alleges that Lucia was also hurt in this altercation as well.

At the couple’s court hearing there have been officials seen who deal with child abuse.

With all these allegations against Mel, his ex-wife Robyn says she doesn’t believe any of it and stands by Mel. She has even written a sworn statement that says that in the 28 years she was married to Mel he never once hit her or any of his children. She wrote, “Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage. Mel was a wonderful and loving father.”

There have also been several recordings that have been leaked on the Internet that are allegedly between Gibson and Oksana, in which Mel threatens his ex as well as goes on tirades. Attorneys for Gibson are alleging that the tapes were actually leaked by Oksana so she could get more money after the couple split. They also state they have “concrete evidence” that the tapes have been tampered with and are not as they appear.

There have been many questions about the tape and why Oksana recorded Mel if she was threatened by him instead of going straight to the police.

The couple split in March of this year only a few months after their daughter was born.
