Mel Gibson is now claiming that Oksana Grigorieva suffered scratches and bruises not from him ... but from herself.

The actor says his ex suffers from the disorder, Trichotillomania ... a condition that causes a person to pull their own eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and other areas of hair on the body.

In a written declaration, Gibson says:

    "During our relationship Oksana often had scratches and bald spots on the side of her head as a result of this disorder (scratches she is now, apparently, attempting to blame on me!)."


Oksana's facialist, Mady Shany, also remembers seeing the injuries saying, "I noticed that there were scratches and bruises around her eyes and on her forehead." Shany adds that Oksana told her Mel "punched her and threw her on the bed while she had the baby in her arms."

Also in the declaration, Mel claims that during their January 6th argument, Oksana was "swinging Lucia erratically in her arms, jerking her body from side to side to keep Lucia out of my reach."

Mel and Oksana are due back in court November 22.
