Cruel Mel make$ life hell: lover

Mel Gibson’s baby mama claims she’s going broke because the Holy Hunk is stiffing her and their love child, according to a report published yesterday.

Songbird Oksana Grigorieva said she’s sponging off pals and running up credit-card bills, telling Britain’s The Mail newspaper that Gibson “is not paying me a penny. Nothing.”

Gibson, 54, also got physical with Grigorieva during a Jan. 6 confrontation and knocked her teeth out, according a report on TMZ.

The couple has a 9-month-old daughter, Lucia. Their relationship busted up Gibson’s marriage.

“What he is doing is cruelty,” said Grigorieva, 40, who has a restraining order against Gibson.

“He didn’t dump me. I left him. I rescued my children and myself,” she told the newspaper.

Gibson’s rep declined comment.
