Anti-semite and wife beater Mel Gibson plead no contest to simple battery in a case against ex-wife Oksana Grigorieva and was sentenced to a mere 16 hours of community service.
You must be kidding us!! That’s literally nothing.
Worse yet, Gibson has chosen to carry out the sentence at ex-wife Robyn Gibson’s charity Mending Kids International, which means he’ll be around children for most or all of his 16 hours of service.
Surprisingly, parents haven’t complained. One family, in fact, came forward to Gibson’s defense, claiming he footed the bill for their son’s spinal surgery back in the day.
“If Mel was coming over to our house to play ball with my son,” the father said, “I would not be the least bit concerned.”
The monetary support is obviously a huge deal, but how about that crazy hate doctrine Gibson’s been spewing? Do you REALLY want your kids around that?
We don’t know about this….
Mel Gibson’s crazy famewhoring ex, Oksana Grigorieva, is reportedly using a cameo he made to prove his emotional instability and incompetence.
TMZ reports that the documentary, a film about Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art entitled “Acting Class of 1977,” includes some footage of Mel talking about his emotional and mental issues.
Mel reportedly says “I had really good highs but some very low lows. I found out recently I’m manic depressive.” Oksana’s lawyers plan to use the statement to paint Gibson as too unstable to care for the couple’s child, Lucia.
Hmmm, it could be strong evidence in their case…We’ll have to see how the chips fall on this one.
If Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva keep it up, their baby, Lucia, is going to have the worst childhood.
As the custody battle and various other court proceedings are still underway, when it comes to give and take, there’s not much give.
TMZ reports that Gibson won’t be seeing Lucia on her birthday on Saturday, as the court has agreed with Oksana’s camp.
Gibson has Lucia today and is required to deliver her back to Oksana tonight, however the Gibson’s nanny who usually does the driving back and forth is sick—which prompted Gibson to ask the judge for an overnight visit in order to avoid any trouble.
Problem for Gibson is, Oksana knows that he also has another nanny who is very capable of doing the job, so when she demanded that Lucia be brought back to her tonight, the court kept things to-the-book. As per their current custody agreement, the court decided that Gibson will have to bring the baby back later this evening.
I bet Lucia already can’t wait to be the age of majority.
Mel Gibson’s semi-crazy ex, Oksana Grigorieva, has just been offered the chance to ho it up on the cover of Playboy magazine, TMZ reports.
The Hef’s company has offered Oksana $75,000 to strip to her skivvies and pose for the mag, also offering her the cover if she so wishes. The offer is for a “full nude” spread – meaning that we could be seeing a lot more of Grigorieva than we bargained for.
Oksana has not yet responded to the offer, but it seems likely that she’ll take it to pay off her outstanding legal fees. Hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, especially with a failing music career and an abusive ex-spouse under her belt!
Go ahead, Oksana! We know you need that cash pretty badly. Just keep baby Lucia away from Google for a while!
More bad news for Oksana Grigorieva today as her big wig lawyer was refused the right to practice law in the state of California by a judge.
Martin Garbus, practices law in New York, and was denied the ability to represent his client in California. The famed lawyer has defended the likes of Robert Redford, Al Pacino, and Spike Lee.
“This is devastating for Oksana because here you have her lead counsel unable to work on the case and speak on her behalf in a court of law,” a source said, according to RadarOnline, continuing, “it is a major problem for her legal team because she needs a lead counsel that has family law experience.”
Unfortunately for her, Oksana will have to wait until November 10th to try and get Garbus back in the court room with her to fight Mel Gibson.
Another day, another goes wrong for Oksana Girgorieva. According to TMZ, her most recent law firm recently stepped down as her representation in court, and although she claims that she fired them this still leaves her in a tough spot.
The firm that just quit was home to some of the best family law lawyers in Los Angeles and with their departure Oksana doesn’t have anyone representing her that specializes in the field—which will make it pretty difficult to go to battle against Mel Gibson in a custody case.
Although there have been some decisions made for their child, Lucia, Grigorieva and Gibson have yet to ink any kind of long-term custody agreement. If Oksana can’t lock down a new attorney, Gibson could walk all over her in court.
Despite not having a lawyers who specializes in state family law currently, Oksana is said to be searching for a new one—but we can only imagine how hard that’s going to be, since the best of the best just walked out on her.
According to TMZ, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is getting some extra help from law professors and lawyers in order to essentially make an official call on if Oksana Grigorieva tried to extort Mel Gibson with the recordings or not.
Oksana’s story is that she only used the recordings as part of the negotiation, with no intent to blackmail Gibson in order to get some cash. The other side of the story is that Oksana tried to use the tapes to, well, clean out Gibson’s bank account.
In order to determine once and for all if Oksana should be charged with extortion, the Sheriff’s Department investigation is calling in help to make sure they have it right. They are currently processing the evidence involved, like Oksana’s iPhone, and are about two weeks away from officially turning the case over to the L.A. County District Attorney.
What do you think? Is Oksana an extortionist, or is she telling the truth?
Oksana Grigorieva is right; it’s a real outrage when you’re only getting $5,000 a month in child support. I mean, with inflation and everything, that kind of cash is chump change, right?
Right! According to TMZ, a judge issued an order Thursday afternoon that increases the child support payments that Mel Gibson makes to Oksana from $5,000 a month to $20,000 a month.
Now she’ll be able to provide their child, Lucia, with everything she needs—like those super pimp gold grills that little kids are wearing these days. Just the necessities!
If Oksana had gotten what she thought she needed, Lucia could have even had diamonds put into her grills. TMZ says that Oksana’s lawyers were hoping for $60,000 a month.
Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson signed an agreement in May and the document basically gives Oksana and Lucia, the child they share, with a crazy amount of money. All Oksana had to do in return was destroy the tapes.
TMZ got hold of the document which states, that Oksana must “turn over all ‘evidence’, and represent and warrant that all evidence has been turned over and all evidence will be destroyed in a manner agreed upon by both parties.”
The document goes on to describe the so called evidence as all “recordings, audio tapes, emails, text messages, videotapes and photographs … of Gibson.”
Now, Mel seems to think that his reputation is worth a lot of money—around $15 million.
The document gives Oksana $1 million when she turns over the evidence, $10,000 a month for 18 years, and a $1 million life insurance policy on Gibson among other things.
Now, you’re probably saying to yourself, “with these two people, the agreement can’t be that simple, can it?” You’re right, it can’t! Despite signing the first version of the document, when it came time to write her name on the final version of it, Oksana declined, claiming that she was unaware that it would give Gibson unsupervised visits with Lucia.
It’s not bad news for the kid, though. In the document that was signed, Lucia would get $50,000 per year for 20 years, $10,000 a year for 20 years for college expenses, $4,000 per month in child support for 18 years and a whopping $4.3 mil when Gibson passes away.
At this rate, Oksana won’t have to split up from a millionaire actor and start a huge legal battle for another two decades!
TMZ is reporting that Mel Gibson’s latest baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, is unhappy with the quality of her legal counsel. Oksana is holding several legal meetings in Beverly Hills this week, including one this morning with Neal Hersh of Hersh, Mannis & Bogen.
Oksana’s current firm is battling the courts to get her $40,000 a month in child support from the Braveheart star, a huge boost from her current $5k monthly settlement.
Keep in mind that those numbers are for one baby. That’s barely comparable to the $2,500 cheque she’s receiving monthly for Alexander, her preteened son from a previous marriage. Little Lucia sure is high maintenance!
Neal Hersh may be a good choice for Oksana. Some of his past clients include Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards, both of whom are socially aware ladies with endless amounts of class and grace. Right?
…Okay, well, at least they’ve got money in the bank.
Granted, Oksana is a little nutso, but Mel Gibson isn’t exactly the nicest guy in the world. So if we have to pick the lesser of two evils, we’re pulling for team Grigorieva. After all, how bad can you be when you write delightful ballads for Josh Groban?
Hopefully this settlement gets resolved soon for the Lucia’s sake!
In the battle between Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson, it’s hard to say who is winning. The latest from the war-torn negotiations has to do with child support payments.
Things sure have changed from when we reported that Oksana wanted $6,000 a month, just a couple of weeks back. TMZ reports that Mel is currently sending Oksana $5,000 a month for child support, but she wants even more now.
Oksana thinks that she should be getting $40,000 a month to take care of baby Lucia, but unfortunately for her, the court knows that she’s already receiving just $2,500 per month for another child, a 13-year-old boy, and getting by just fine.
Either Lucia is the world’s most expensive child, or Oksana is crazy.
The Mel Gibson vs. Oksana Grigorieva scandal gets better and better every week, so get out the popcorn! Usually when relationships and careers are crumbling, it isn’t nice to sit back and watch, but when it’s Mel and Oksana, it’s hard to look away.
The latest from the trenches courtroom is about Gibson’s child support payments.
RadarOnline reports that Gibson’s camp claims that his cash is limited to about $600,000 a month and only believes that Oksana should be receiving $6,000—exactly 1% of what he has—in support payments for taking care of their 9-month-old daughter Lucia.
Now, either Mel has a handful of other baby momma’s to support or it seems as though he’s trying to cut Oksana short, very short.
Oksana believes she should be receiving more, but unfortunately for her, Mel thinks that his $7.2 million a year is a necessity that he just can’t live without; he also claims that Oksana has some unnecessary expenses, like her bodyguards. A note to Oksan: Definitely hang on to the bodyguards.
Both teams seem to be pretty set in their ways right now, so it might be a good time for a bathroom break before you come back to the entertainment!
Going after Mel Gibson is apparently becoming quite expensive for Oksana Grigorieva, reports TMZ. It’s being reported that Oksana has taken out a loan to pay the price tag that comes with her lawyers.
Sources close to Oksana say that apart from the loan her credit cards have also been maxed out in order to cover the costs to fight Gibson’s legal team, which includes a whopping three law firms. Gibson also isn’t giving her any more than he has to—only paying $5,000 a month for child support.
Unless she’s got some more tapes to extort some cash out of Gibson, it’s hard to say how Oksana is going to pay her bills after all is said and done!
It seems that week after week Mel Gibson gets a little crazier. Steve Jaffe, a rep for Oksana Grigorieva, told TMZ that Mel Gibson had told his ex about a plot to kill Harvey Levin. Why? Well, aside from the whole Gibson getting crazier thing, he was allegedly upset at the fact that TMZ broke the story about his anti-Semitism.
Jaffe said Oksana was told by Gibson that he had someone doing surveillance on Harvey, TMZ’s founder, and that Oksana claims Gibson told her that he wanted the “blood of Jews” on his hands. That’s a little disturbing, but the alleged plot continues.
Jaffe also said that the alleged plan to kill Harvey included kidnapping him and stripping him down, taking him to the desert, breaking his knee caps, and leaving him for death.
This should all still be taken with a grain of salt though, since Oksana isn’t always the sanest person either and there is no official record of the plot ever being told to authorities. Still, what would the celebrity news world do without Harvey Levin?
Oksana Grigorieva’s story seems to have a few holes and Mel Gibson might have not hit her in the mouth, reports TMZ. Apparently the dentist that treated Oksana has conflicting beliefs with what Gibson’s ex told Sheriffs, that she was struck twice in the mouth by Mel Gibson.
Sources tell TMZ that Oksana’s dentist, Dr. Ross Shelden, believes that Oksana wasn’t struck in the mouth, but rather hit in the temple and in a chain reaction she bit down quite hard knocking out one veneer and damaging another.
The dentist is said to have observed bruising on Oksana’s left temple, which photos taken don’t show because Oksana allegedly covered it up with makeup and her hair. However, there was no indication in Dr. Shelden’s records whether the injuries he observed could have been self-inflicted, so it’s still unclear whether or not she was hit by Mel or anyone else.
Sources close to Gibson tell TMZ that the actor never hit Oksana.
TMZ reports that sources say Oksana tried to extort millions of dollars from Mel Gibson for keeping the tapes secret.
Sources say Oksana wanted over $10 Million and there is a long trail of evidence to support her intentions of blackmail, including emails and other “physical evidence.”
Mel’s lawyers will be meeting with the L.A. Sheriff’s Department to present the evidence of extortion. They are hoping the police will launch a criminal investigation into Oksana’s plan.
As the story behind Mel Gibson’s alleged crimes (including domestic violence and assault with a deadly weapon) against Oksana Grigorieva continues to be discovered, the plot just keeps thickening.
TMZ is reporting that Gibson’s lawyers are going to meet with the Sherriff’s Department to not only present evidence that they hope will clear Mel’s name, but also claim that Oksana attempted to extort the actor.
Sources tell TMZ that the lawyers’ presentation will include evidence indicating that Oksana told Mel that she would sell him the tapes of their arguments (presumably to keep everything quiet), and also that she has made several false statements to authorities.
Though the presentation will focus on claiming Gibson’s innocence, TMZ’s sources also say that the lawyers will be asking for a criminal investigation of Oksana for alleged extortion and making false statements to law enforcement.
Here we go again! It looks like Mel Gibson isn’t just racist against Jewish people, he is also against Black people as well.
After a tape leaked of Mel Gibson calling his child’s mother Oksana Grigorieva the “N” word, the L.A. chapter of the NAACP has commented, saying Mel is “an out of date and out of control racist.”
TMZ spoke with Leon Jenkins, President of the L.A. chapter of the NAACP, saying it’s unfortunate that a man “who has made his millions off of women, African-Americans and Jews harbor such racist, sexist, and anti-semitic feeling against people who have admired and respected him for decades.”
Jenkins says “An apology is insufficent given his history of racism, sexism and anti-semitism.” Jenkins adds, “No amount of words will change his image as an out of date and out of control racist.”
Oksana Grigorieva alleges that her ex, Mel Gibson, was violent toward her, reports TMZ.
Lawyers representing Oksana showed up to a court in Los Angeles last Monday to ask a judge for a restraining order against the actor after filing claims that Gibson was physically violent toward her. Sources close to Oksana claim that the actor was extremely violent with her.
The judge granted the restraining order, which was only to be modified the next day so that Gibson would have the right to see his daughter.
That’s not all; Mel has also received a restraining order of his own against his ex that disallows her from talking—apparently he doesn’t want her releasing any information.
A source close to Gibson says that that the allegations are an exaggeration, claiming that the incident in question took place at the beginning of the year, and Oksana travelled with Gibson all over the world even after they occurred. The source said, “In these cases, when somebody cries wolf, the judge is mandated to assume there’s a wolf, until a full hearing can be held.”
However, there seem to be two definitive sides to the story, as a source close to Oksana claims that “There were other acts after January that were not physical but still constituted domestic violence.”
Mel Gibson’s fiance, Oksana Grigorieva, gave birth Friday to a girl, reports Perez Hilton. Mother and baby are resting at home.
This is Gibson’s eighth child and Gigorieva’s second.
