Jason Patric’s custody battle rages on. The last time we spoke of Patric, he was celebrating after winning his court appeal against his ex-girlfriend, Danielle Schreiber. The court ruled that even though Jason is technically a “sperm donor,” he still may have rights to see his son, Gus. Jason hasn’t seen Gus since June 2012, but his case will be reheard soon by a lower court after he was initially denied custody rights.
Jason has previously stated that he is not a sperm donor but “a willing co-parent.” Danielle was able to prevent Jason from seeing Gus because she got pregnant through in-vitro fertilization. Jason says they tried to have a baby for years, and that he didn’t simply gift his sperm to her (even though he did sign his rights away). Danielle allowed Jason into Gus’ life as “daddy,” but when they broke up, Danielle cut Jason’s access off. All of it seemed mysterious, but we only heard Jason’s side of the story. I wondered why Danielle would keep Jason away from Gus if there was no history of abuse. Danielle has filed legal documents alleging that Jason abused her — physically and verbally.
Jason Patric repeatedly called his baby mama “Jew c–t” and “Ms. Jew Lawyer” … this according to the baby mama herself.
You probably know … Jason has made a cause celeb out of the fact that a quirk in the law prohibited him from having a relationship with son — Gus, now 4, was born via in vitro fertilization with the help of a doctor … and under California law since Jason wasn’t married to the mother he had no right.
Jason appealed for public sympathy and enlisted the help of a number of celebs. An appeals court has just given him a shot at winning some custody.
But baby mama Danielle Schreiber sees Jason as anything BUT sympathetic. In legal docs filed with the court and reviewed by TMZ … she claims Jason was a monster, slamming her head into a wall and hitting her in the face with a telephone receiver.
And she says he was awful to her, regularly referring to her as “”Jew C–t” and “Ms. C–t Schreiber.” She says Jason’s anti-Semitism continued when he went to their son’s preschool, and in front of everyone … called her “Ms. Jew Lawyer” and “Ms. Jew Schreiber.” She says he also accused her of being “c–tish” — in front of everyone.
Schreiber got a restraining order in November, prohibiting him from contacting or harassing her. For Patric’s part, his lawyer, Fred Silberberg, calls the allegations “categorically untrue.” He tells us, “These disclosures are a last gasp attempt at disparaging Gus’ father … [They] are desperate comments from a desperate woman.”
The lawyer adds, “If Ms. Schreiber is telling the truth, which she is not, then she should explain how it is that she chose to have a child with Mr. Patric, why she engaged in years of fertility treatments with him, lived with mr. Patric … [and] maintained a relationship with [him] for over 10 years.”
Update: Danielle’s attorney Patty Glaser is now responding, telling TMZ, “Mr. Patric’s reprehensible physical abuse and anti-Semitic remarks date back as far as 2005. Unfortunately, victims of domestic violence ask themselves all the time why they maintained relationships with the abuser and when they realize what happened no longer tolerate it.”
She adds, “The fact that the domestic violence restraining order was issued after a family court judge heard Ms. Schreiber’s and Mr. Patric’s testimony speaks for itself.”

This is tough to read because Danielle never came forward with allegations of abuse until now. This changes everything. All along, Jason’s been telling his side of the story, and she has remained silent. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t believe her. She could be telling the truth, but Jason has had a jump start on her with the press. He’s been organizing fund raisers with his celebrity friends, and she’s a civilian who can’t draw on such public support. I don’t know whether Jason actually abused Danielle, but these new allegations are making me rethink the whole case.
If Danielle IS telling the truth about Jason making anti-semitic statements, that would readily explain his friendship with Mel Gibson. Just saying.
