In an eight minute recording of a telephone rant, released by celebrity website Radar, the Oscar winning actor-director suggests that Oksana Grigorieva needs a "bat in the side of the head" and threatens to "put her in a rose garden."
At times during his expletive-ridden shouting Gibson is so angry he stops and starts panting.
At one point Miss Grigorieva, the mother of Gibson's eight-month-old daughter Lucia, accuses him of having previously hit her and broken two of her teeth.
She says: "What kind of a man is that? Hitting a woman when she's holding a child in her hands? Breaking her teeth twice in the face! What kind of man is that?"
Gibson responds: "Oh, you're all angry now! You know what, you ------- deserved it!" Miss Grigorieva, who secretly recorded the phone call, tells Gibson that he is "gonna answer one day" for his behaviour.
He replies: "I'll put you in a ------- rose garden you ----. You understand that? Because I'm capable of it. You understand that?"
At one point Miss Grigorieva tells Gibson he needs medication and he screams: "You need a ------- bat in the side of the head. Alright, how about that?
"You need a ------- doctor. You need a ------- brain transplant. You need a ------- soul. I need someone who ------- treats me like a man." He goes on: "Don't hang up on me! I have plenty of energy to drive over there. And I will! So just ------- listen to me. Listen to my ------- ranting! Shut the ---- up! You should just ------- smile and ---- me because I deserve it!"
Alan Nierob, a spokesman for Gibson, declined to comment on the tape.
Gibson, 54, and Miss Grigorieva, 40, a Russian-born pianist and singer, have been locked in a bitter custody dispute over their child in Los Angeles.
She has accused Gibson of domestic violence and sheriff's officials have launched an investigation.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore would not confirm whether the new recording would become part of the investigation.
But he said: "Everything is part of the investigation. Anything that is connected to the case we will investigate."
In a previous recording released by Radar last week it was alleged that Gibson unleashed a racist rant and told Miss Grigorieva that she was dressing too provocatively, and that it would be her fault if she were raped.
