The shocking revelation that Mel Gibson said his former girlfriend and the mother-of-his-child, Oksana Grigorieva, deserved to be hit has enraged anti-domestic violence groups.
On a tape that Breaking Celebrity News exclusively revealed on Wednesday, a teary Oksana is heard asking Mel, “What kind of a man is that 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?” the Russian musician repeats, who secretly taped the Braveheart star because she was afraid of him after several death threats. He responds with “You know what — you f**cking deserved it.”
A support group that protects battered women can now explain exactly what kind of man would do such a terrible thing.
“He is obviously a typical abuser,” Rita Smith, the Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview. “He admitted he hit her and she deserved it. He’s wrong. She couldn’t possibly do anything that would deserve being hit.”
