For some reason, Mel Gibson fans think it is okay for him to hit a woman, based presumably on the fact that they like his films. And while Oksana Grigorieva continues to be the (alleged) battered wife in all of this sorry tale, it seems that Gibson only needs to throw his hands up and say “I never did” and Gibsonites will be out in force branding Oksana a liar.
However, all decisions thus far have been made on very little. All we’ve known is that Those Tapes were leaked which made Mel Gibson sound as mad as a tree filled with human legs and that he’s under the impression she’s trying to get some extortion on the go.
Now, for the first time since this whole furore kicked off, Oksana Grigorieva has talked about the actor and their relationship on Wednesday’s Larry King Live on CNN.
Gibson has been very, very quiet on the whole thing, refusing to comment on whether Those Tapes are real, his views on the paternity and domestic violence court cases. All he’s saying is that Grigorieva is guilty of extortion.
However, Grigorieva is happier to talk and on Larry King’s show, went over what happened on the night of Jan. 6 when she fought with Mel Gibson.
She says:
“He hit me and choked me in front of my son and brandished a gun at me.”
“The very following day he was apologetic, asking for a chance. He said he would be cured, treated, evaluated. All those words. I didn’t record it. I believed it. If someone’s asking for a chance, you give them a chance.”
However, after that, Gibson repeatedly called her and she went about recording the calls.
“I knew this is not the man I fell in love with. This is his illness – this profanity, anger, rage,”
You might be thinking ‘Why did she tape him then?’
“I’m actually not going to live through the night. I wanted my mother to be able to prove, if I’m dead, who did it.”
Zoinks! Big talk!
It seems that, when she became pregnant with daughter Lucia (the child that Oksana and Gibson are both in court over), Mel started to show ‘his true self’.
“Early in our relationship, he did say, ‘There’s a dark side of me. I don’t want you to ever see that because it will destroy us.'”
So would he get blind drunk and lash out?
“There was no liquor. He’s a batterer. Domestic violence is an illness.”
Jesus wept. There’s no jokes to be had here is there? We’re either looking at some incredibly callous lying or a tale of a mentally ill person beating up his wife.
We wish we hadn’t written this thing now.
How horribly sobering. At least Charlie Sheen had the decency to beat up inanimate objects while making someone fear for their life.
Oh look. That’s nearly a joke. That’ll do.

Writer needs to get the facts straight. Oksana is NOT his wife. Yuck
Pravda says
This extortionist has NEVER had Lucias best interest at heart.
She has done nothing but disobey court orders,
humiliate/slander the father of her child and failed
as a decent human being.
Stop that broad making a mockery of the U.S. legal system Judge Gordon!
Oksana is the most vile and disgusting excuse for a human being.
Cookie Monster says
Yadda, yadda, and so on. All that I want to know is when in the hell is Mad Max 4 going to get made? Any movie with Jesus Mel as the star would do very well right about now. Those silly gonads of The Hangover struck-out on a goldmine.
Michael says
I don’t think it’s okay for Mel Gibson to hit a woman. But has he been convicted of anything yet? Why don’t you execute him now?
