    The plot thickens. After being hit with a restraining order by the famous father of her child, Oksana Grigorieva is now claiming Mel Gibson 'knocked her teeth out'

    In the latest of a bizarre series of spats between Mel Gibson and his estranged girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, the Russian singer has claimed Mel ‘knocked her teeth out' during a violent episode.

    Just last week, reports suggested Mel had filed for a restraining order against his ex, but now it seems it was the other way around.

    ‘There is no restraining order against me, but my lawyers went to court and a judge granted a restraining order against him,' Oksana told the Daily Mail.

    Sources allege Mel became angry at Oksana during an argument, knocking out her teeth.

    ‘She tried to protect the baby during one of Gibson's violent episodes when he punched Oksana in the face two times, breaking her teeth and giving her a concussion,' an insider told TMZ.com.

    ‘She tried to protect his reputation, depsite her fears of him and his verbal and physical abuse.

    ‘She regrets having believed in his empty promises to obtain professional help to control his violent nature.'

    ‘Mel and his camp are spinning the facts in a desperate attempt to protect his reputation,' the source added.

    Over the weekend, Oksana spoke out about her ex, revealing she hasn't received any child support money from the Hollywood star.

    ‘So much that is being put out there is wrong,' she told the Daily Mail.

    ‘He didn't dump me, I left him. I rescued my children and myself.

    ‘I was trying to keep things dignified and be respectful to the father of my daughter, but what he is doing is cruelty,'

    ‘The truth will come out eventually. There are custody issues. What is happening to me is not fair.'
