Radar is reporting that Mel Gibson’s estranged wife of 29 years, Robyn Gibson, has fled the country. Perhaps “fled” is the wrong word, but I tend to think it’s apt. Mel Gibson’s baby-mama, Oksana Grigorieva has been on a media blitz to promote her album, Beautiful Heartache. Robyn probably doesn’t want to listen to any of the press. Or maybe she just wanted to go on holiday with her youngest son, Tommy. Radar is also reporting that Mel and Robyn’s divorce is about to become final “within days” but has no mention of what kind of settlement Robyn will be getting. Mel is reportedly worth around $900 million, and some sources claim that Robyn could be getting half. My guess? She’ll probably walk away with around $200-300 million in cash, assets and property. Bring mama a mojito.
Earlier this week, we covered one of the interviews Oksana Grigorieva has been doing to promote her album. In that Reuters interview, Oksana did her best to come across like anything other than a vapid gold-digger. She actually seemed sympathetic at times (to me at least), but she did say some aggravating things, like: “How can I be judged for falling in love? We live in the same city. I don’t control who I meet… love is inexplicable… It’s not like I was planning to meet Mel specifically. Life happens. There was a working relationship for a long time. I thought he was happily married until I was reassured otherwise. And then it happened.” Oksana also claimed that she and Mel had no specific plans to get married.
Oksana’s CNN interview was a lot of the same, but I thought I’d put some of highlights up. If you’d like to see the interview, CNN has it. Oksana calls Mel a “visionary” (barf) and claims that she and Mel aren’t going to find out the sex of the baby. But how will they pick out a name? Oh, right. “Cash Money” works for a boy or a girl:
“Beautiful Heartache” was released to iTunes on July 23 by Icon Distribution, Mel Gibson’s company, which up until now has handled only soundtracks for his movies.
“He’s an incredible artist,” Grigorieva said. “A visionary. He enabled me to produce this album, for my music to live.”
Grigorieva and Gibson were first photographed together on the set of his movie “Edge of Darkness,” according to People magazine. Grigorieva is pregnant with Gibson’s child and is to give birth this year.
She said the couple has opted not to learn the sex of the child. It will be her second child, after Alexander, her 12-year-old son with actor Timothy Dalton.
“I’m already buying things in gender-neutral colors. It’s very cute,” she chuckled.
Alexander, she added, is excited about having a sibling. “He’s like a little man, protecting me. He’s looking forward to it very much.”Grigorieva says she and Gibson have no immediate plans for marriage. “We don’t know yet. We haven’t really talked about it,” she admitted.
She acknowledged that her relationship with Gibson has given her a unique opportunity to present her skills. “If you think about it, every talent needs a serious push and help from somebody who is stronger, because it’s pretty much impossible for anybody to succeed in this industry. So I’ve become very lucky, and I’m very grateful… You don’t control the situations or the people you meet. I did not plan this. I’m just doing what I’ve always been doing. It’s not like I’ve changed my goals at all.”
In the meantime, Grigorieva is adapting to life in the public eye.
“It hasn’t been too bad, actually. There was a period of time where it was a little bit difficult, but now it’s much better,” she said.
Before embarking on limited press for the new album, Gibson did offer a few words of advice, she added: “Just be myself and speak the truth. What I most like to talk about is my music and ‘Beautiful Heartache.’ And that’s pretty much it.

When she’s not yawn-inducing, she makes me queasy. This whole operation makes me queasy, actually. Mel and his money (and his public relations team) are trying to sell a better, more wholesome version of Oksana and their relationship to the public. It’s very transparent, and it isn’t working. I hate gold-diggers who play the victim. The real victim of all of this is named Robyn, and she’s laying on a beach somewhere sipping a Mojito.

I saw a tiny bit of Oksana’s performance on GMA this morning. She has a nice voice, but we all know the only reason she’s getting any press is because of who she’s boffing. For that reason I had to change the channel. Mel Gibson’s hypocrisy is beyond ridiculous, it’s really gross at this point.

Uhm what skills howling like a cat in heat is a skill?
The way people make a spin on falling in love like it’s stepping in dog shit.
I guess pedos can’t help that they love on small kids either you being in the same town and all.
I guess it proves that drinking like Mel did over the yrs does effect your brain cells.
How ever he and his people try to sell it they both come out smelling like shit on a stick.

Good for Robyn for getting through that fiasco. I wouldn’t give Mel and his sidepiece any credit for her leaving the country. People with several hundred million can do that.
Mel, however, can watch Oksana put the vacuum to his bank account while he pours another cocktail. Cheers!

She looks like a creepy doll who’s face was made out of clay. That one shot they have of her makes her head look HUGE and makes me want to run at her hair with a machete. 900 million at your fingertips and your hair looks like that? Pfft.

Umm, I think her voice is okay for someone performing in a smoked filled lounge on the Vegas strip, but other than that, I think she isn’t terribly talented.

I really used to love Mel’s movies. Now I’ve gotten rid of every single one and I will never watch another. That anti–Semitic rant was the beginning of the end for me.
It’s like Stephen King once said; he had revered this particular writer (he won’t say who because the guy is alive and he won’t besmirch him), and after years of admiration he finally met the guy. Steve said he was appalled at the guy’s behavior, his manner, everything–and he was absolutely crushed. That’s kinda how I feel about Mel.
Karma is a B!TCH Mel, and her name is Octosana.
Robyn stayed with your worthless carcass ALL those years; do you REALLY think this chick will take care of you when your alcohol-soaked brain cells quit working and you can’t even remember who your kids are anymore? Not likely. She’ll stick your old ass in a home and be screwing the gardener the same night.

Maybe he can get one of his many church drones to wipe his a**, wipe his spit from his dried crackle old man lips.
Every time I look at him I think of how beautiful he was in The Bounty and compare how he look now and it’s shocking what excessive alcohol drinking can do to you.
Puts me in mind of the Intervention eppy where the woman was having mental issues to the point that if she stopped drinking cold turkey she would have died because her body needed the alcohol to survived.
Also want to add what lame ass excuse he going to give St. Pete at the Gate, Don’t you know who I am? I made The Passion of The Christ!! Let me in.

Of course Mel doesn’t feel gratitude to Robyn for keeping his sorry carcass for years. That’s the way a woman would see it. He felt nothing but disrespect and entitlement; which is why he screwed around on her for years in the first place. He probably puts the blame on her for his adultery as well. He’d probably also rationalize that he gave her his name, children, a lavish lifestyle, etc. and that she owed him, not the other way around. That’s how all these self-serving assholes think.

Oksana is also full of it. She lived in the same city as trash collectors, deli servers, bus drivers, etc. too. Funny how she just happened to fall for the multi-millionaire, huh? In fact, she has always just happened to fall for multi-millionaires. How’s that for odds?

ditto. except I never owned one…but I always skip right by his movies when I come across one on cable.
In fact, I feel the same way about Tom Cruise.

I am TOTALLY on Team Robyn. And this coming from someone who used to adore Mel in his glory days. It makes me mad that I wasted so much of my fantasizing on this A-hole. I hope Oksana cheats on him with another idiot.

Did Robyn or Mel get the private island in Fiji? I think that island was a 25th anniversary present.

I don’t see Robin getting angry. Does anyone even know if Robin is angry? I can’t help but find this young Oksana very enchanting.
I’ve listened to her music. It comes from a sad, soulful place. And it seems more genuine than most of the garbage I hear. You have to know pain & passion to write those songs. “Say My Name” is beautifully done. I know my opinion is not popular but…. I can’t be in contempt when a love is of something so obviously genuine. You can’t create something like that from a lust for money. Mel is passionate, she is passionate. They make a good match IMO.
J. Ferber (you’ve always been my fav. poster) OMG I have been the wife of a cheater. I understand your angle completely. But I’ve also been the single mother in a sea of trash collectors deli’s and desperation. But I’ve also been hopelessly in love too…….

What I’d like to know is how these religious nutbags end up uber-billionaires? Hasn’t anyone promoting them noticed how repulsive they are?
It was over for me and TC as soon as the words “I’ve got the need for speed” passed forth from his lips. As for MG, Braveheart was good but it left a nasty aftertaste. Seeing the direction his flicks went after (i.e. “The Whuppin’ of the Christ” & “Apocolypto”), it’s obvious the dude’s got some serious violence issues. I remember reading in a men’s mag that when he was filming “Air America” he was known to partake in 12 – 14 year olds.
What’s ironic is that both these me got me through puberty, which might explain why I always choose such f#*ked up men today.
I’m just sayin’.

He’s going to die miserable and alone.
This “woman” he’s “dating” will leave him as soon as she gets hers.
His wife and kids will each throw up their hands in their own time as they give him up emotionally (which takes much longer for some than others)…and he’ll die alone and unloved and without fanfare.
Karma’s a nasty bitch, isn’t she?
——–
…and “hopelessly in love” is a feeling. We don’t base behavior on feelings first…well, unless we happen to be someone without any personal moral code whatsoever.
I’m a military wife. I’ve lived long, LONG periods without my husband home. Being in love with someone else is not an excuse for infidelity when family, commitment, and children are involved…not to mention religious vows that mean something to both partners in my marriage. “Hopelessly in love” is a disgusting excuse for immoral behavior.
When you are tempted, no matter how strongly, to do something you know is wrong, you have a CHOICE to turn an about-face and walk away from it.
Are bad choices forgivable or understandable? Sure. Sometimes. No matter how much empathy I can have for someone who leaves a marriage to pursue “love” or “gravity” with another person…it doesn’t change the fact that it’s unattractive to wreck a family and then refuse to own any responsibility for it.

Seriously people….the only difference between MG and any other man having his mid life crisis….leaving his family for a younger woman is the fact hes famous and freaking rich….He won’t die alone and miserable..you not watching his movies won’t mean diddly to him or anyone else…and his children don’t hate him…they probably do hate the home wrecking slut hes with but hes dad and they will always love him…and unless you are one of those bitter “all men are pigs” women you’d realize that. Kudos to Robyn for getting on with her life, shes shown some class through all this….and she deserves to be happy. Mel will learn that the slut that screws around with you will screw around on you…and he’ll ditch her sorry ass down the road as she deserves…and just maybe he’ll learn something from it…or not.

They say love is blind, and in this
case also dumb and deaf.
Mel has lost his mind and his looks, all those years of drinking did the damage, and if he was in an unhappy marriage why not he get divorced..
Oh, yeah, I forgot – he is such a devout catholic, apparently stay married and screw around, that is OK.

I understand the impossible love and the inability to leave it. But, you have to, becuase eventually, it will implode. The guilt, the ridiculue and honestly what kids who love their father, will accept and not worry about someone like Oksana. If, she hadn’t chased after older men to sustain her and move her forward; if she had just been new to the US with a shy regard for all things moral, then, I might unerstand….but this in everyway is a tragedy. The woman needs to be deported and I certainly cannot hate or blame Mel for all of this. Just how many men in this world fall prey to this same and boring drama. Mel isn’t thinking, feels youth passing, feels the passion and mistakes it as love, because his marriage grew cold, but trust me, it doesn’t last. Many factors…age, inability to share his entire family…and that would be “share together his entire family”. An utter waste all the way around. So much for his worldwide witness. Sad.

Diana, of all the comments, I cannot believe that you are putting the blame on Oksana! If you are really a woman, you should know better, no woman, no matter how she looks, is cabable of splitting up a marriage if the guy doesn´t want it. MG is the only person to blame in this story.
