Mel Gibson is under fire for a racist, misogynist and foul-mouthed rant he allegedly made during an argument with his ex-girlfriend.
The Oscar-winning actor and director is said to have told Oksana Grigorieva that "if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault".
He is also alleged to have told Grigorieva, whom the Braveheart star is battling over custody of their daughter, that the way she was dressed made her look like a "pig in heat".
Gibson is further accused of telling her: "You're an embarrassment to me." And he allegedly went on to threaten to burn down her house.
The actor caused a media storm four years ago when he launched into an anti-Semitic tirade during an arrest for drink driving in Malibu, California.
He made a public apology after telling the arresting officer: "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
The reports of his latest comments were broken by celebrity news website RadarOnline.com, which claims to have listened to tape recordings of arguments between the couple submitted under seal to the judge in their custody fight.
Gibson, 54, and the Russian-born singer went public with their romance shortly after the actor filed for divorce in 2009 from his wife Robyn after nearly 30 years of marriage.
He and Grigorieva, 40, were reported in April this year to have split up, five months after the birth of their daughter Lucia.
Last month, reports surfaced that Grigorieva had obtained a restraining order against Gibson, amid claims he had hit her in the face and knocked out two of her teeth.
The actor is said to have filed counter legal papers to prevent her from speaking publicly about the case.
A spokesman for Gibson declined to comment on the latest reports due to the legal proceedings between the actor and his ex.
