Mel Gibson: I slapped Oksana because she was acting hysterical but I didn't punch her

[Amerigo Vespucci]

According to his declaration, dated June 23, 2010 and filed with the court, Mel says he and Oksana were having one of their frequent arguments at his Malibu home, when Oksana grabbed Lucia out her of bassinet, brought her right in the middle of the argument and screamed, “Stop yelling or you will make her into a retarded brain damaged idiot!”

Mel says Oksana then “spun around,” ran into her older son’s room and then out into the backyard. Mel says the yard is dangerous at night, set on different levels and dimly lit. Mel says Oksana ran across the various levels for about 75 yards, near thorny trees.
Mel says he implored Oksana to bring Lucia back inside, and that’s when Oksana ran back into her older son’s room, and “started swinging Lucia erratically in her arms, jerking her body from side to side to keep Lucia out of my reach.”

Mel adds Oksana was “hysterical” and her “rapid movements were causing Lucia’s little body to be flung from one side to the other, her head shaking violently.” Mel says he feared Shaken Baby Syndrome.

As she refused to hand the baby over and continued with “rough and erratic movements,” Mel says, “I slapped Oksana one time with an open hand in an attempt to bring her back to reality. I did not slap her hard, I was just trying to shock her so that she would stop screaming, continuing shaking Lucia back and forth.”

2. He is a liar.

If you listen to the tapes it is clear that he is absolutely insane and rage filled. I think she is lucky he didn't follow through on this threat to kill her and both the children.

What he is doing is using his money to purchase a belief in his own agenda. He is trying to destroy her because she exposed him for what he is.

Gee, where have we seen this happen before?

5. Aww, what a kind man he is. I wonder what his hands were doing when she

"started swinging Lucia erratically in her arms, jerking her body from side to side to keep Lucia out of my reach.”
