Sorry. Mel pays her and their kids a boat load of money. I don't believe her for a nano second.
No way-someone who's as abusive as Mel Gibson has proven himself to be (if the tapes are real)- just happend to become that way overnight.
I don't understand your argument as Robyn receives alimony no matter what she does or doesn't say. I would think that if Mel ever was abusive to Robyn, she would simply keep quiet rather than make a official declaration before the court and risk the charge of perjury.
