Mel Gibson has been in the news a lot lately for things other than his brilliant acting. We’ve heard about his anti-semitic remarks in the past, which had many people upset. Now Oksana Grigorieva, the wife of Gibson is accusing him of abuse to her and their child. Whether any of it is true, has yet to be seen however.

The latest news is that Grigorieva alledgedly taped Gibson as they had a conflict back in February. The conflict began when Gibson, a long time smoker, tried to quit. Evidently, the last time he tried quitting in January, he verbally abused Grigorieva as well. This time, Gibson accused Grigorieva of having an affair with their landscaper. The argument turned heated and Grigorieva accuses Gibson of abuse.

So far, there is nothing pointing to any physical abuse by Gibson toward his wife. However, Grigorieva claims otherwise and seems to fear for her and her child’s safety. She has been seen going to her attorney’s office in recent days. We should see more about this coming in the following days.
