This lady is a piece of work. Did anyone else not notice their wasn’t even one body guard? Yes, it was arranged……..no body guard means, she knew, of course with the head Radar guy too……..but the body guard is the key.

@Candy Kay: Well, some still regard Mel as an Icon; disgusting to read their chauvinist comments on Oksanas lips, figure, origin & how they would enjoy to punish her themselves.

Many do not comprehend why Oksana did not call the police immediately, but as Jane16 already argued: Did the police help Nicole Simpson? In Rihannas case, it was actually the public broadcast that made the difference – like it now makes it difficult for Mel to hide what this case is all about!

Oksanas message seems to be: Do not trivialize or even lie about domestic violence, much better tell the truth. According to the tapes Mel did regret his behavior; if actually so, it would suit an Icon to apologize in public, but he will probably not, and we will have to wait for the court to draw a conclusion.

Whether the tapes are manipulated or not, it is disgusting to see how fast some people are trivializing domestic violence, assuming that this hooker simply deserved it because she was a golddigger etc, etc.

Christ never treated women (or even whores) like that; worth reminding all catholic & chauvinist suppressers of women, though it will hardly change their habits much.

“CandyKay” enough with the Rihanna nonsense. My, what selective memories people have. Rihanna reportedly said Chris Brown had abused her before, and she didn’t report it. Rihanna reportedly wanted to drop the Chris Brown case and wanted to get back with him. There was a public outcry against her, she was perhaps in danger of losing her career. As it is, her seeming waffling about him cost her respect and fans, and her career doesn’t seem to have regained the stature it had before the assault. Rihanna allegedly had a hand in Chris Brown not getting jail time. Rihanna was a celebrity in her own right, with money, power and fame. And Chris Brown is no Mel Gibson. Even after 2006, Mel Gibson remained a hugely powerful celebrity. Oksana G. got a restraining order and gathered evidence to prosecute. She has done everything possible for her protection and her kids, and doesn’t appear to have gotten any settlement, not that that would absolve Mel Gibson of his conduct

@CandyKay, it’s unclear what your point is. And your logic is all kinds of jacked up. Let’s play along and assume she was simply after money. Are assault and criminal threats not illegal if you deem the victim a distasteful person? Are assault and criminal threats not illegal if someone doesn’t follow your arbitrary handbook of behavior?

Sean, I don’t think Mel is much of an icon any more. After the drunken driving episode, I think most people were willing to believe he was capable of very poor behaviour indeed.

Oksana had the option of going to the police and then releasing the tapes publicly, if the police refused to help her.

She didn’t do so, which suggests that a settlement was more important to her than self-protection.

Sorry, I’m not feeling it O. I still think your an opportunist. Truth hopefully will prevail for both parties. Those lips are ridiculous. Shouldn’t they have ruptured in the face punch? A lesson for fame whores: Lip injections sustain impact, veneers don’t!

Maybe you haven’t heard? Suit-and-tie wearing ROL Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard is now working double duty as a video paparazzo. Expect his video interviews from The Ivy any day now.

@ CasthyT: Yeah and mothers routinely come OUT of the grocery store with no bags! I’m sure they bumped into each other. It’s almost insulting how stupid she thinks we all are.

@Candy Kay, yes Rihanna surely handled domestic violence and her own recovery well, but was not up against an icon like Mel anyway. Oksana can only rely on herself, any adviser could show up to be an agent from Mels camp, so no wonder if she is acting confused along the way.

The broadcast of Rihanna’s case was far from her own intention, but looking back she concludes: “Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that.” (Glamour, Nov 2009).

So may also count for Oksanas story.
