You know how the Mel Gibson tapes are just horrible, and each new day brings another hate-filled audio that just ruins your whole day? Except for yesterday’s tape which, while still disturbing, was actually pretty funny with the whole ““I deserve to be blown first before the F-CKING JUCUZZI! Okay, I’ll burn the f-cking house down!!! HOW DARE YOU?!!” and “Oh and earlier today – you said ‘Oh, nevermind’. WHAT THE F-CK WERE YOU GOING TO SAY?” Well, a lot of us were wondering “Gee, I wonder if Mel ever pulled that sh-t with Robyn?” Robyn, his first and only wife. Robyn, who he pretty much left for Oksana. Robyn, who stuck by him for 28 years and had seven of his children and could walk away with some kind of insane $400 million divorce settlement. That Robyn. Well, TMZ reports that Robyn has submitted a written declaration to the court on behalf of Mel – she says that he never hit her or the kids, and Mel was “a wonderful and loving father.”
Mel Gibson’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Robyn, has written a sworn declaration on behalf of Mel, saying he has never physically abused her or any of their children in the 28 years they were married … TMZ has learned.
We’ve learned in the declaration, Robyn writes, “Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage.” Robyn also says there was never any domestic violence perpetrated by Mel against any of their children.
We’ve learned the declaration was filed with the court this morning. We’re told Robyn’s declaration will also be submitted to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department when Mel’s lawyers present their evidence to deputies next week.
In the 1-page declaration, Robyn acknowledges that she is divorcing Mel but says, “Mel was a wonderful and loving father.”
Robyn — who is widely respected in Hollywood — could ultimately be very powerful ammo for Mel.

I’m here to nitpick. Okay, so Mel was never physically violent towards Robyn or the kids. I’ll buy that claim at face value, although I do think Robyn’s settlement money might have soothed any marital problems they once had. But sure, okay, Mel “never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage”. I will accept the idea that Mel never abused her or their kids, but I don’t think that means he DID NOT abuse Oksana. Plus, what about other kinds of abuse? Did he ever scream and yell and act insane and threaten people with guns? Oh, that’s right – he did yell and verbally abuse people when he was married to Robyn. “Sugartits” anyone? Furthermore – Mel was the one to leave Robyn for Oksana. If Robyn had left Mel, it might have been a different story. Because I think that’s what Oksana’s tapes show – Mel is like a baby, and he wants all of the attention all of the time, and when he doesn’t get it, he turns into a total freak.
