EXCLUSIVE: Club-Goer Confirms Mel Gibson Altercation Not Made Up By Accuser

RadarOnline.com has confirmed that actor Mel Gibson was indeed involved in a scuffle with a man trying to take his picture Wednesday night at the opening of Hollywood's Playhouse.

"There certainly was an altercation between Mr. Gibson and the male photographer," an insider tells us, who was onsite when the incident went down.

The source also confirms that photographic evidence of the man in question's ripped shirt were not doctored or staged, rather a result of his confrontation with Gibson.

Some reports suggest that Gibson never came face-to-face with the photog, the companion of a reporter in the venue who also attempted taking photos of Gibson.
