Mel Gibson rants again in explosive new tape – is rehab his only career option?

[HMG] – With several tapes having already surfaced and a police investigation now under way, a new tape of the feud between himself and former lover, Oksana Grigorieva is just what Mel Gibson didn’t need…And it’s here.

The new tape not only captures Mel, 54, admitting he did hit Oksana, but also records him threatening to kill her — Twice.

At one point Mel becomes so angry he tells her “You need a f—–g bat in the side of the head. How about that?” He later suggests killing her, to which Oksana replies;

“You’re gonna answer one day – boy, you’re gonna answer.” She then denies that’s a threat.

And this is where Mel apparently threatens to kill her:

“I’ll put you in a f—–g rose garden! You understand that? Because I’m capable of it. You understand that??”

The new tape also captures Mel accusing Oksana of leaving him because he stopped spending money. He then declares he won’t spend any more as he realizes that’s all she wanted from him.

“You don’t have any f——g friends except me, and you treat me like s—t!” he rages. “That’s why I’m so angry – because I don’t have any friends! I try and make one from you and you treat me like s—t, and you used me!”

Okasana denies this, but offers advice with which listeners may well agree;

“You need medication,” she suggests.

Later, she threatens to call 911 when Mel gets abusive once more, which causes new rage;

“You’re in my house, honey!” Mel replies, in what’s almost a scream.

This tape could spell big trouble for Mel — Radar says the LA County Sheriff’s department are already pursuing Oksana’s domestic violence charges as a criminal case. After his now infamous ‘N-word’ rant the giant Hollywood agency, ‘William Morris Endeavor’ also dropped Mel as a client.

The two death threats caught here could mean further charges, and thus sink his now troubled career.  As things keep looking worse for Gibson, his talent agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment has reportedly just dropped him, telling him to find new representation.

Mel’s known to have quit smoking, but something is poisoning his life and his reason, and rehab may be his only path back to public acceptance…Assuming the Sheriff doesn’t take him to jail.

Meantime, we’ll let you know when the next tape arrives…
