Estranged wife defends Mel Gibson
LOS ANGELES, Robyn Gibson has filed a declaration in a Los Angeles court swearing her estranged celebrity husband Mel never physically abused her or their seven children.
The couple are in the midst of a divorce after 28 years of marriage.
"Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage," TMZ quoted Robyn as saying in the single-page declaration filed Thursday morning. "Mel was a wonderful and loving father."
Robyn made the statement after audio purportedly of the actor-director allegedly making racist and threatening remarks to his ex-girlfriend were released to the public.
Gibson has not commented publicly about the content of the leaked recordings, but he has said his former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, attempted to extort money from him in exchange for keeping taped conversations between them quiet.
Gibson and Grigorieva are the parents of an 8-month-old daughter.
