Mel's Bruised & Cut Baby: Did He REALLY Hit Her? Click For Photo!

Is this photograph proof that Mel really DID harm his daughter with ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva? The snap, which leaked on the Internet today, is being used as evidence in the criminal and civil investigation against the formerly A-list actor

Since their war of the roses battle begun in March, Oksana Grigorieva has claimed she has proof that her former lover, Mel Gibson, harmed the couple’s daughter during a January domestic assault. Now, a photograph of 8-month-old Lucia has leaked onto the Internet via RadarOnline, and Mel could be in even deeper trouble.

The photo is truly upsetting. Lucia, then only two-months-old, appears to have a cut on her chin. Oksana, 40, claims that Mel, 54, caused bodily harm to both she and her baby during a January 6 altercation. However, in one of the audio tapes leaked online, Mel tells Oksana no one will ever believe she’s telling the truth about the abuse.

“You need a f*cking kick up the a** for being a b*tch, c*nt, gold digging whore!” he screams. “With a p*ssy son! And I want my child, and no one will believe you! So f*ck you!”

As HollywoodLife.com exclusively broke, the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services has already begun an investigation. Officials will reportedly be interviewing Mel this week.
