Oksana Grigorieva’s People Mag exclusive: “I thought he would kill me” (update)

A few weeks ago, Radar began reporting that Oksana Grigorieva would give her first big interview (post-Glum C-nt tapes) to Oprah. It seemed like a good move for both Oprah and Oksana, and I approved. Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen. Oksana’s lawyers had to withdraw out of the Oprah interview because of a new custodial/financial/legal agreement between Mel Gibson and Oksana that precludes her from giving any interviews, I think.

Mel Gibson’s ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva won’t be talking to Oprah after all.

Grigorieva and Gibson just hashed out a joint-custody deal for their daughter Lucia, in which Gibson has been ordered to pay $20K a month in child support.

Due to the nature of the proceedings in family court, a judge has put a gag order on the couple, EOnline.com reports, keeping Oksana off Oprah’s couch.

“Neither party in the case should be speaking,” a source told E! However, Oksana already gave an exclusive interview to PEOPLE magazine, out this week, upsetting her lawyer.

“The lawyers had to put a stop to [Oprah] because it is a violation of the judge’s seal,” the source added. “But the PEOPLE magazine interview already took place, so they couldn’t stop that.”

[From PopEater]

Yes, Oksana managed to give an “exclusive” to People Magazine just before the bell was rung. She didn’t get the big cover though – People’s cover this week is devoted to bullies and cyber-bullies, with a top sidebar thing of Oksana saying “I thought he would kill me.” I saw a little preview of the piece on the Today show this morning, and People just released a short excerpt:

You’ve heard the tapes. Now Oksana Grigorieva, Mel Gibson’s former girlfriend, is speaking out about their relationship – and her claims that Gibson was abusive to her.

In a wide-ranging interview with PEOPLE, Grigorieva, 40, talks in detail about the argument during which she says Gibson, 54, hit her while she was holding their baby, Lucia.

“I thought he would kill me,” says Grigorieva. (Gibson, who declined to comment for this story, has disputed her account and a source close to him has said he intervened when she was shaking the baby.)

The Russian-born musician says Gibson often flew into jealous rages, talked about suicide and once brandished a gun in front of her.

She also discusses why she decided to tape Gibson’s angry phone calls. “I needed to document his threats,” says Grigorieva, who denies she leaked the tapes. She also refutes Gibson’s claim that she used the tapes to extort him.

“I’m not angry at him,” she says. “For the sake of Lucia, I really want him to be well. He has to have the courage to be responsible for what he’s done.”

[From People]

Yeah – the interview sounds pretty basic. It’s what I would expect her to say – Mel was violent and insane, I was just trying to document the abuse, it wasn’t about the money, et cetera. I know there are so many people who don’t see her as a victim, but I do. I guess we’ll just have to disagree on it.

UPDATE: Today just released their video excerpts of People’s story. Here’s the video:

    People who don’t see her as a victim did not listen to the tapes. She is a victim and I think Mel should go to jail. Not that he ever will 🙁

  2. CathyT says:

    She pulled out of the Oprah interview because the judge reminded her lawyers about his gag order. Oops.

  3. Eleonor says:

    If she hadn’t documented all the abuses she’s been through, nobody would have EVER believed her. Honestly I don’t like her, but she’s got the right to kick Mel’s ass.

  4. teri says:

    Who knows what was said between both before the tape turned on each and everytime. I don’t buy her little innocent act at all. I’m sure she can dish it out just the same. It’s pretty easy to talk alot of smack, hang up and then call back and act all nice while the other person is still ranting. Sure Mels verbal outburst was horrid but physical abuse I don’t believe. I hope all men out there take note how Mel has been played.

  5. someone says:

    If he was so bad, why did she stay..I believe he was verbally abusive, of course she didn’t tape any of the verbally abusive things that she said, which Im sure she did…I think shes a gold digging ho!

  6. Whatever says:

    I beleive that he hit her, but I don’t believe her story that she thought he would kill her. Bullshit. If you think someone is going to kill you in early January, you don’t make tapes six weeks later and then wait another four months until the negotations for a financial settlement break down and then release the tapes. When you think someone is going to kill you, call the police THAT DAY.

    She released the tapes for revenge and to ruin him, as she said she would do. Fear for her life had nothing to do with it. Now that she has tasted the attention she has craved, she will never go away. (Yet another one who doesn’t know the difference between famous and infamous).

  7. texasmom says:

    Every time I see a picture of her I think she looks like an up-market Nadia Suleyman!

  8. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    She does look a lot like Octo-mom. I also think she played him. I dont think she is the only “innocent party” in this situation. The only “innocent party” is the baby. I feel sorry for Lucia, she has two really messed up parents and she will have to grow up listening to all the bull they threw at each other just to make or save a buck.

  9. Marjalane says:

    If you look carefully, you can see dollar signs relecting in her eyes. Mel Gibson has been a gross pig for a long time, and this golddigger is a seedy grifter. Does anyone really care what happens to them?

  10. Ann says:

    Older men seeking out younger women, always want to dominate them, sometimes violently so.

  11. Eve says:

    I’m baffled by people saying the fact she’s a “gold digging ho” somehow justifies the abuse she has suffered. I don’t think victims should be held responsible in any way for the crime committed against them. It feels like that same male chauvinist logic that says if a woman wears provokative clothes she’s asking to be gang raped…oh, nevermind.

  12. Whatever says:

    I don’t think a victim is responsible for the crime committed against them. However, nor do I believe that getting punched in the face makes an otherwise gold digging whore suddenly a great person/poor innocent victim/poster child for domestic violence. She can be both a victim AND a gold digging whore. Getting a punch in the face doesn’t justify a frenetic cash grab, either. For someone who claims to not care about money, she talks of little else and doesn’t appear to do much other than collect cash and look for new ways (other than working) to get more.

  13. OXA says:

    If Mel Gibson had not repeatedly called spewing digusting threats, he could not have been recorded.
    How people can blame her for his behaviour is nuts, just how did she get him to say such classy lines as “I am going to come over there, burn down the effin house but you will blow me first”

  14. javagirl1 says:

    “if he was so bad why did she stay?”

    Really? we’re going to go through this again on this blog?

  15. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Eve: Don’t worry. You’re not the only one who sees the revictimization. I just got tired of pointing it out to the peanut gallery.

  16. Praise St. Angie! says:

    oh, goodie, the Mel apologists are back…

    yeah, I’m with Crash on this one…don’t even bother trying with these folks, because they will NEVER see Oksana as any type of victim.

    she’s a golddigger, she knew what she was getting into, why didn’t she leave…all good enough reasons for her to get beaten, apparently.

    oh, and don’t forget about how those tapes were altered and edited to make him look worse.

    (can you see my eyes rolling from where you are?)

  17. trevor says:

    I dont believe her for one minute… if Mel was going to give her 15 mil and she didnt take it then she is the biggest gold digger of all… i would have yelled at her too!!

  18. Eve says:

    @ Crash and Praise St. Angie:

    Apparently, it is pointless indeed…so I’ll try to follow your lead here (meaning that I’ll try my best to stay away from Gibson-Gregorieva related threads).

    But…it’s just that I started Law school last year (already graduated in Social Communication which took me nowhere) and during one of the current semester’s class the teacher came up with the “provokative clothes leading to rape theory” and I almost choked with anger when I heard him. A FREAKING COLLEGE PROFESSOR (who’s also a prosecutor for crying out loud) saying something like that.

    My point is: it’s the mysoginistic mentality (exposed during Law classes or on internet boards) that perpetuates violence against women — whether they’re gold diggers or not .

  19. humph says:

    just coz people are questioning her motives doesn’t mean that they’re excusing mel for his actions. and if the tapes are edited as some experts claim, then who’s to say that he did admit to hitting her if it was edited out of context. but this woman has been caught lying so many times in her own interviews. the latest claim that she didn’t know kristian herzog was a convicted felon and was going to fire him as her bodyguard is a complete b,s coz her pr person steve jaffe previously claimed that kristina herzog was nothing more than a friend to oksana. jaffe said that when he was asked about violet kowal’s allegations that herzog threatened to kill her if she didn’t support oksana’s claims of abuse to get mroe money out of him. and furthermore, if oksana didn’t call the police coz she was scared to humiliate mel, why then didn’t she move and hide when the tapes started to leak, knowing the fact that she just humiliated her alleged abuser on a grand scale and he hasn’t even been locked up yet.

  20. TaylorB says:

    I kinda think, and this is not a knock against her in any way, she looks like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

  21. Kitten says:

    Crash, Praise & Eve-I gave up a long time ago engaging with people who play the “blame the victim” game or insist that this woman is somehow not a victim and then proceed to provide ridiculous reasons why she somehow “brought it upon herself”. Besides the fact that you lose all credibility when you start to resort to derogatory words like “gold-digging ho”. I mean, how hateful can you possibly be?

  22. Eve says:

    Yeesh…now I’m surprised my comment wasn’t posted. I’m sure as hell I wasn’t being offensive towards anyone.

    *Oh, I see it’s still awaiting moderation.

  23. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Eve: What a disheartening story! While I myself cannot muster the strength to take on the morons again, I applaud you for speaking out. One day again, I will rally. It’s just that with this lot I see the same posters making the same inane comments, and I feel I might as well be talking to a wall. Well – at least Marjalane has switched from calling her a ‘dirty GYPSY grifter’ to a ‘seedy grifter’. *sigh*

  24. TaylorB says:

    “Well – at least ***** has switched from calling her a ‘dirty GYPSY grifter’ to a ’seedy grifter’.”

    Baby steps. 😉

  25. Crash2GO2 says:

    @TaylorB: lol

  26. humph says:

    yeah, oksana is the victim and should never be questioned for her actions, or for her conflicting stories or her history of using men and extorting them for their money. yeah, the tapes should be taken as fact even though it’s being now reported in the news that they won’t be used as evidence. (most likely coz they’re edited as some experts have said). yeah, oksana is always the victim, unaware of everything going on around her, like exposing her kids to a twice convicted criminal, and demanding more child support from her alleged abuser whilst asking him to pay off her debts and pay for a new place she wants to move into even though she was never his wife. yeah, oksana should always be praised and mel should always be blamed even though he’s looking after his child and was concerned enough to get a restraining order against the felon bodyguard.

  27. brenda says:

    I don’t think anyone is condoning Mel’s actions. He is a pig and we knew that when he went off on the female police officer a few years ago (calling her sugar t***). However, this woman is not the innocent victim she plays. Yes, I’m sure she did fear Mel, however, it is quite obvious that her love for money won out over any consideration for herself and her baby. I don’t understand how you can dispute that this is more about money when she just went to court a few days ago in order to get more money.

  28. humph says:

    btw, my friend was emotionally and mentally abused by her ex bf. she also didn’t fit the type of a typical victim, since she had an active social life whilst she was dating her abusive ex. she kept getting back with him coz he kept trying to kill himself so she would feel sorry for him, even though everyone warned her not to. she finally decided to leave when he nearly stabbed her with a sword, luckily she broke it off before it got much worse. but the thing is, unlike oksana, my friend would never have dare publicly humiliate her ex coz she was scared of him and of his explosive temper. she doesn’t talk about him much but when she does, she always says she’d rather forget about it and she doesn’t ever want to see him or have anything to do with him again. and even though she denies she was scared, the look on her face when i mentioned her ex’s name pretty much gave her away. in contrast, oksana seems to be enjoying her 15min. spotlight, for someone who claims to be terrified of mel, shouldn’t she be scared that he might come after her now?

  29. Kitten says:

    @ Humph-I’m sad that your friend was too scared and ashamed to come forward. If more women made stories like hers public and persecuted the men who abuse then maybe we would be able to combat the problem. Sweeping things under the rug only exacerbates the situation. I applaud Oksana for sticking it to her abuser.

  30. humph says:

    emotional abuse takes time to heal. most victims are scared and ashamed over what happened coz their abusers made them feel that way. and what oksana is doing isn’t sticking up for herself. she has texts that says that she played the tape coz he wasn’t generous enough to his daughter and to her, and she signed two forms which gave him joint custody of their child even though she now claims that she was scared for her child’s life. keep in mind that this woman has had 23 lawyers since this whole saga started, many have quit on her, apparently due to conflicts with her, and now she is blaming her previous lawyers for coercing her into signing an agreement and claiming ignorance of a civil lawsuit her lawyer had drafted if the mediation talks failed. sticking up to your abuser means that you go to the police with your evidence and letting the courts handle it. standing up to your abuser means having the courage to leave the abuser when he hits your child on the face like oksana claimed mel did.

  31. Eve says:

    @ Crash:

    It was disheartening as you said…because even though some of us were shocked and insulted (including some men), many others didn’t seem to be bothered by his comment.

    And for all of you talking about poor Mel being publicly humiliated by those tapes being “leaked”…so he was humiliated for being exposed as the racist, sexist, bigot freak he was being in private? It wasn’t the tapes being leaked that made him look like an a**hole of the highest order but the content of them — and the worst things said during those calls came out of his very own foaming mouth.

    As someone else said above, if she hadn’t taped those conversations no one would ever believe her. Heck, even with the tapes people are managing to make her look like a low class wh*re who ONLY wants money. I’m aware she’s probably hooked up with him for his status/money/influence but that doesn’t change the fact he’s been an abuser.

    Finally, I read a comment a while ago that said it all: when South Park aired that episode about how weird Mel Gibson was, that was supposed to be a parody. Right now it looks more like a documentary.

  32. ezra says:

    She’s no ingenue. He’s a stupid pig and was ripe for the picking. It’s ALL about the money, & water finds its own level.

  33. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Eva et al: One good take home from this (and the Rumor Willis thread) is, it matters what you say. It doesn’t matter to whom you are speaking, or whether or not you think you are anonymous and/or private. Some call it Kharma, I’m not sure what it is, but when you say hateful things it has a way of coming back around to bite you in the ass and hurting someone you may never have wished to hurt at all. Trust me – what you say matters. Even on a gossip website.

    *hops off her soapbox and wanders off to lunch*

  34. Kitten says:

    @ Crash2Go2-I don’t click on the Rumor Willis posts anymore. Just WAY too much harshness.

  35. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Kitten: Yeah, that’s good advice actually. Like Eva in this thead, I guess I still had some kick left in me on the subject of harshness.

  36. Sonia says:

    “Oksana’s lawyers had to withdraw out of the Oprah interview because of a new custodial/financial/legal agreement between Mel Gibson and Oksana that precludes her from giving any interviews, I think. ”

    You ‘THINK”?? No, you don’t or you would THINK a journalist would RESEARCH the subject matter and find out the facts.

    Ox MAY have been told by the judge to shut up and mind the gag order in court on Monday. OR Ox’s lawyers put a stop to it realizing she’d stick her foot in her mouth with her constant lies OR Oprah wised up and pulled the plug.

    ONE of these thing shappened and it had nothign to do with any agreement between Mel and Ox.

    Shame on you, what a crap writer.

  37. Oprah refuses to pay guests, People pulls out a cheque book.

    Why do you really think she pulled the plug on Oprah and went with People?

  38. Mistral says:

    She is a victim. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Hopefully, Mel gets real help and healing so that he can be a good and normal dad to all of his kids/grandkids.

  39. REALIST says:

    I don’t know every excruciating detail, but here’s my theory.
    Once Oksana had the baby, Mel wasn’t the center of her world. I’ve had two kids, and it’s amazing how biology kicks in. All your energy, your love, your time, your protective instincts go into that tiny, helpless infant.
    Yet, at the same time, you need the support and protection of the baby’s father to keep from collapsing under all the stress and sleep deprivation.
    Oh sure, she had nannies and stuff, but it’s not the same thing as the devotion of the father.
    I think Mel was p.o’d about the lack of sex and attention. Besides, he has some major mental health issues, aye?
    Maybe there was a split second there where Oksana remained hopeful, but the moment he hit her with the baby in her arms, that hope must have disappeared.
    I support her completely. $20k per month is nothing for Mel, and why shouldn’t his child and the mother of his child keep up a semblance of the lifestyle he obviously keeps? It ain’t exactly cheap to live on the posh in LA, and that’s what Lucia (and her mom) deserve.

  40. REALIST says:

    Oh, and may I remind all the commentors that Mel, being one step beyond the Pope, does not believe in birth control. How many kids did he and Robin/Robyn have-7 or 8?

  41. Debbie says:

    Yet another few seconds in the limelight for this piece of trash.

    All these different stories coming out The reason why she isn’t going on Oprah is simple because she has told lies from day one, even she forgets what stories she has told to many different media outlets.

    She’s only in it for the $$$$ always has been. If she was a TRUE victim she would have gone to the police from the first place, not sit down in mediation with family judges and never mention to them anything about not being hit.

    You have to ask yourself to why is her bodyguard a convicted felon hanging around her and the children for.

    Debbie

  42. Marjalane says:

    Hey Crash 2G02!

    I’m so glad you noticed- I purposely called her seedy instead of dirty gypsy, just to keep you happy; Besides, even the dirty gypsies are too good for this one.

  43. crtb says:

    I don’t get it.

    If I were in this situation and a man was treating me and saying the things that Mel is saying to this woman:

    1. The moment he walked out the door, I’d call 911

    2. I’d call a locksmith and change the locks

    3. I’d call the phone company and change my phone number

    4. I’d get an order of protection the next day:WOULD NOT WAIT 6 MONTHS!

    5. I’d get an airplane ticket back to Russia,
    where he could never find me or my child

    6. I would only have made one tape.
    Wouldn’t have stayed around to make tape 2, tape 3, tape 4, tape 5.

    7. I hit back. I would have burnt his house down.

    8. Tapes would not have been leaked to the media.
    They would have been given to the DA so that he could have pressed charges for domestic abuse.

    9. After these events had taken place, I would not have continued to travel, socialize, visit, talk, have $ex with…etc with Mel Gibson.

    In no way, am I saying that Mel isn’t responsible for his horrible behavior.
    What I am saying is that I think this woman is/or has manipulated the situation. She just happens to tape their conversations FIVE times? For what purpose? She didn’t take the tapes to the police. So why was she holding on to the tapes for six months? Something about this whole situation just doesn’t feel RIGHT to me. Everyone knows that Mel Gibson has anger management problems and is a raging alcoholic. Mel has issues and they probably escalated with the release of his tirade a few years back that pretty much destroyed his career. He has been in a rapid spiraling decline since. No one will disagree that he needs help. My opinion is that Mel is upset over his divorce and blaming Oksana. Maybe he realizes losing his wife of almost 30 years was not what he thought he really wanted. But instead of accepting his own mistakes, he’s placing it all on the girlfriend who is caught in his mid life meltdown. This is a man whose star has fallen and will never recover. This is a man who lost the woman and family that he was married to for his entire professional life. This is probably a man who associated his self-worth as a person with his career.

  44. Trashaddict says:

    I think it’s entirely possible that she thought she would hit the jackpot with the pregnancy but didn’t realize until things were too far gone, just what a nasty schmuck (a nice yiddish insult carries more weight with that anti-semitic asshole) he is.

  45. humph says:

    Realist, learn to read the facts instead of relying on mere speculation. Oksana did NOT go to the police nor did she break up with Mel even though he allegedly hit the baby in her arms in january 6. she claims she forgave him and only decided to leave him when he blew up again in february 18. even if her story was true, it still shows her to be an unfit mother and shouldn’t be allowed to have custody of her kids. what kind of mother forgives her alleged abuser even after he supposedly hits her 2 month old infant, and what kind of mother allows a twice convicted felon into her house and allows him to interact with her kids? where is the concern for her kids? the fact that she says that her increased child support is enough to allow her to repay her debts shows that the intended use of that money won’t be going to the benefit and welfare of her child, but is intended merely for herself.

  46. humph says:

    and fyi realist, oksana is living in a rent free house which was given to lucia by her father, she has her own car as well given to her by mel, and has also been provided a nanny to help look after lucia. on top of all that, she is now receiving 20k a month in child support, so please tell me how that isn’t lavish enough for a a child who hasn’t even turned one yet? ironically, mel’s other children never had that kind of luxury whilst they were babies. his other children went to public schools and had to do chores and work to earn their pocket money. lucia is probably the only one of his children who has had so many benefits given to her even at such a young age, and she isn’t even his legitimate child. i think mel has been more than generous with lucia. oksana was never his wife, nor a long term partner, so she is not entitled to his wealth nor should he be forced to help pay off her debts or her other luxuries.

  47. Jenny says:

    @humph, Debbie and all the other Mel apologists: you are never, NEVER in the position to critizise an abuse victimes actions (as long as they are somewhat legal obvi.)Every person reacts differently to abuse, and it is not up to you to rule which is the right and which the wrong way to deal with the situation. It is easy to say that you would leave him or that you’d go to the police, or do this and never do that, but in reality you never know how you’d react before it happens to you…and I hope you never find out.

  48. Debbie says:

    SHE is no Victim of abuse, It makes me sick to the core for those true victims out there who truly are

    Debbie

  49. humph says:

    jenny, i am not a mel apologist but your blind support of oksana just because she is a woman is sickening. there are actual women and even men out there who do bring up false allegations against their partners, espeically in child custody cases, as a way to control them. what oksana is doing would also be considered abuse. she has been talking about this whole issue with mel non stop since june, she has humiliated him publicly as well as dragged out robyn and the children in this by claiming that they were abused by mel even though robyn herself has declared mel was never physically abusive. oksana blames mel for everything bad that happened to her, like her failed career and negative image to the public. she wants him to take responsibility even though he already is, he was responsible enough to protect his child from a felon and provides for her needs and wants. oksana has done nothing positive at all except to keep dragging this on to complain about mel and how she’s so broke coz he won’t give her more child support. this woman isn’t a victim anymore, she’s more like a borderline female/sociopath who leeches off others and feels entitled to their wealth even though she doesn’t have any rights to it.

  50. Jenny says:

    humph – the world is not black and white, people aren’t either simply good or bad. Oksana being a moneygrabbing golddigger who most likely went after Mel for his money and broke up his marriage and keeps talking bs to the press does not change the fact that Mel got caught on tape saying things that without a doubt classifies as verbal abuse (even if the tapes where edited he still had to say those things). No one knows whether her alligations regarding him hitting her or the baby are true, but seeing Mel’s track reckord I find it hard to give him the benefit of the doubt in this case.

  51. humph says:

    just coz the guy was caught ranting on the tape doesn’t make him guilty of physical abuse. yes, he’s definitely guilty of verbal abuse and there’s no excusing his language, but if those tapes were edited like a lot of experts have been saying then the words ‘you deserve it’ were probably taken out of context. and as for your assertion that mel’s track record supports oksana’s claims of physical abuse, i definitely don’t think so. mel has always been known as a hot headed moody guy who yells and swears a lot when pissed off. he was also known as a womanizer, even whilst married to robyn. in other words, he was always a jerk. but there have never been any reports or rumours that he was physically abusive to his ex wife, children or any of the mistresses he slept with (besides oksana). physical abusers have a history of domestic violence, and oksana is the only one who has accused him of this. and so far, her physical evidence (besides the tapes) of the domestic violence is shaky at best. her photos do not show any black eyes, bruising, bleeding, or cut areas anywhere on her face, in her mouth or on her lips. and oddly enough, she didn’t even bother to take photos of her neck and chin even though she claims that mel had tried to strangle her. and on top of that, her stories about the night of the abuse keeps changing, and she only went to the police to hand over her evidence months after the alleged incident occurred.

  52. Sonia says:

    She is a liar and a thief as told by an indepth look into her past, since a young girl she and her mother have been after nothing but money and anything to get it. (they were very poor in soviet Russia and it shows!)

    What she is doing to Mel, what the media has done to Mel is DISGUSTING, A travesty of justice. I don’t care if Mel is a slimey little pri*k that thinks he owns the world (which I DO NOT think) he should not be convicted and cruicfied in the media the way he has been without proof! Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty??

    The only fairness and justice we are seeing for Mel is here, in the comment sections.

    Keep it up posters! Post wherever you can. Don’t let this travesty happen, this tried and found guilty before the court case even gets filed. It could be YOU. United, we can make the difference.

    ^ It’s when I read comments like the one above that I start believing the blind item that said Gibson has “employees” who keep talking nicely about him on internet threads and smack about Oksana.

    He’s a pig who thinks he owns the world, a racist who hates on jews and other minorities for the sake of it…if you can’t accept that, then you’re just like him.

    @humph and Sonia…I was going to post a comment, but you’ve both said it all. Bravo!

    @Geez…I’m not one of Mel’s “employees” that’s being paid to post. I just believe in “innocent until proven guilty,” and am perceptive enough to see through Oksana’s b.s…

    I know she is a liar (listen/watched her interviews. I am Russian – this person is transparent for Russians. I think she is a psycho-terrorist who uses men for everything she can get out of them.
    She deserves to go to prison.
    Oksana ruins “real” abuse victims.”
    Oksana brings the culture of female extortion with false claims of verbal, physical and sexual abuse for profit and power in the family courts.

    who the hell is that stupid interviewer saying “you know she is a very good Christian”. Because she says so? I can call myself a Toyota, but you can’t drive me to the store!

    She’s banged out two illegitimate children, gone after married men with money, say’s she believes in “forgiveness”, but engages in retaliation, perpetuating the animosity, going against gag orders, and publicly tries to destroy not just the father of her child, but torments his REAL wife and children by doing so. She is all about SELF. She is all about trying to manipulate the public, gain sympathy. It’s not sympathy that she evokes on my part, but sadness that she stoops so low. There were other, better ways to resolve this that should have been pursued for the sake of the children involved! I feel sorriest for her son, who is old enough to understand what is going on, is at an age where it will be very difficult for him, and for Mel Gibson’s 10 y/o son. They DESERVE the sympathy in this situation most, and she should keep her ugly face off t.v. for that reason alone.

    She WENT AFTER that bully; she deliberately got pregnant; she played the sycophant… god, that sickening email she sent AFTER the supposed abuse “Please don’t torcher urself like that, please!!!! U dint do anything to be so hard on urself. U r amazing man and always will be in my eyes and I will make sure Lucy knows it…” GAG GAG GAG. Thats not what abused women write to their abusers. Particularly when they don’t even live in the same house as them. That’s what a sycophant gold digger writes to a man she’s trying to extract money from.

    My God, are you people for real out there? I’ve heard language like that in corporate board rooms! It may not be “right”, but it happens. And yes, I’ve been threatened with guns before in the heat of arguments by men. I’ve had my life threatened. You don’t continue living in his house, get on the media almost a full freakin year AFTER and start crying about how traumatized you are, but you still “want him in your life”. GET REAL PEOPLE. SHE’s sick too! WHAT kind of woman goes after a rich, older man known to have anger and substance abuse problems in the first place?????

    @discernment…Excellent post! I too think about her Alexander and his Tommy and what they must being dealing with during their already difficult pre-teen years.

    Someone on another blog posted the description of a sociopath and it fits Oksana to a tee. Mel may be a bi-polar alcoholic with serious anger management issues, but at least his mental issues are out in the open. IMO her disorder is much more dangerous.

    Mel’s empl…sorry, “fans” are out in full force.

    Geez: I’m not an employee.

    I’m a real person who doesn’t watch t.v., rarely watches movies, has never met a celebrity.

    However, seeing the payoff for sleeping with one, I might just decide to head to Hollywood soon and see what I can score!

    Where millions of Americans are struggling to avoid losing jobs, homes…. are dipping into retirements to stave off foreclosure…. this greedy bitch, excuse me, greedy Russian bitch who is not even a citizen here, is crying that $20K a month is not enough to raise an infant on, with a house thrown in, and all the other goodies. She needs $15K a month rent in addition????? Send her back to Russia where she can get a bigger bang for her buck.

    Are you nuts? Is the whole freakin U.S.A. gone nuts? Attorneys who say “she’s accustomed to the lifestyle?” WTF is that? If she can so easily forget the previous 38 years she’s lived, it seems she could just as readily forget the last 2, no? And go back to the lifestyle she has by far lived in the longest.

    G R E E D….. it has ruined not just this relationship, but this C O U N T R Y!
