Mel Gibson Responds to Robyn

Mel Gibson has filed his response to wife Robyn's divorce petition -- and it only took a matter of hours.

Mel Gibson

Gibson, unlike his wife, gives a specific date of separation -- the papers say the date is August 26, 2006. The date is hugely significant -- Mel's infamous DUI arrest was less than a month earlier -- July 28, 2006. Gibson cited irreconcilable differences.

As we reported, Robyn and Mel grew apart after the arrest. The date Gibson lists for separation confirms this.

Gibson also lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.

Gibson is repped by prominent divorce lawyer Robert Kaufman, whose celeb clients include Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson and Reese Witherspoon.

20. She filed for divorce not him. She is divorcing him not the other way around. He will have little say in the matter because she has the right to do sa. It takes two to avoid divorce.

22. I don't trust Mel's date for the separation. I think he's being a cheapskate. That's probably the first time she ever yelled at him, and he used that as not being a good dormat, to save himself three years worth of income from being split in half.

23. Man, thing have just been going down in his personal life since the 'passion'. Poor fellow. Besides take a good look at his soon to be ex- wife, no wonder he's saying that it's been since '06 the they've been separated, she's a hag, you'd think that with all that money she could aford to get a little work done!

25. #4 how the hell can you compare this marriage to McCartney & Mills. Robyn was with him for 28 years and gave him 7 children. Heather was with Paul for a hot minute. Long enough to get knocked up and get paid.

27. For as long as I can remember, literally, I've been reading about him cheating on her. Remember that infamous photo of a drunk Mel drinking out of a woman's high heel with other women around?
