Poll: Were Mel Gibson's Rants Set Up by Oksana Grigorieva?

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) Mel Gibson was heard allegedly acknowledging he hit Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his 8-month-old daughter, in a recording released Monday by RadarOnline.com.

But did Grigorieva set him up?

The eight-minute recording posted by the celebrity news website was purportedly a phone argument between Gibson and then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

A voice sounding distinctively like the Academy Award-winner can be 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.

"What kind of a man is that?" she was heard saying. "Hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands? Breaking her teeth twice in the face! What kind of man is that?"

"Oh, you're all angry now!" Gibson allegedly responds. "You know what, you...f****** deserved it!"

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, prompting sheriff's officials to launch an investigation.
