The second explosive tape to emerge in days alleges that Mel Gibson hit his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva (AP)
A celebrity website has posted audio of a recording it says is Mel Gibson allegedly acknowledging that the actor hit the mother of his 8-month-old daughter.
The tape, posted on Monday by RadarOnline.com, is purportedly an eight-minute phone argument between Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva.
A voice sounding distinctively like the Academy Award-winner is heard telling Grigorieva that she "deserved" to be hit after she chastised him for allegedly punching her in the face and breaking two of her teeth.
Alan Nierob, a spokesman for Gibson, declined comment on the tape.
The former couple have been locked in a bitter custody dispute in Los Angeles. The 40-year-old singer has accused Gibson of domestic violence, and sheriff's officials have launched an investigation.
