He claims that he slapped her because he feared for the safety of his daughter. According to Gibson, Oskana was so out of control and hysterical that she was putting their daughter in danger. Oskana’s take is a lot different, of course. She claims that Mel punched her in the head and in the mouth during an argument. The blow to the mouth was so forceful, according to Oskana that two of her teet were knocked out.
During an argument, one of many, Mel stated in the declaration, Oskana ran out of the house during the night with the baby. Mel, knowing how dangerous the grounds were at night, asked her to come back in. She did, but then begin to swing the baby around in a manner that was erratic. The baby’s head was being flung around. Mel, fearful, that the baby would experience Shaken Baby Syndrome, sprung into action. He slapped Oskana in the face one time. According to him, he was attempting to get her to come to her senses.
Well, again, that’s Mel take. Remember, there are three sides to every story, each party’s side and then the truth. Who knows what went down but it doesn’t sound good.
