The heat is on for Mel Gibson!

We’ve been reporting that his ex-girlfriend/baby mama Oksana Grigorieva has some recordings of him threatening to kill her along with making racial slurs, and just a few days ago, we posted an audio clip of Mel going in on Oksana about her breast implants and saying that she was an embarrassment to him, among other things. He even took as far as saying that she looked like a “bitch in heat” and that it would be her fault if she got “raped by a pack of n**gers.”

Up until now, no one had heard any more of the tape, but the good folks over at RadarOnline.com managed to get their hands on an entirely new audio snippet of Mel threatening Oksana and admitting to hitting her. The actor can even be heard saying “you deserved it” when she brings up an incident in which he knocked her teeth out, which will give prosecutors even more ammo in his pending domestic violence case.

Yesterday morning (Mon. Jul 12)  Whoppi Goldberg, co-host of The View, took command of a debate the women were having about Mel Gibson’s most recent racist comments and defended Gibson against statements that he is a racist. She also blamed his 2006 anti-Semitic tirade on alcohol and said he couldn’t be a racist.

Goldberg took up for Gibson saying:

“I don’t like what he did here, but I know Mel and I know he’s not a racist… He may be a bonehead… I have had a long friendship with Mel… You can say he’s being a bonehead but I can’t sit and say that he’s a racist having spent time with him in my house with my kids. I can’t say it and so I really just need to say that. I don’t like what he’s done. Make no mistake…”
