Mel Gibson Moves to Strip Oksana Grigorieva of Custody of Lucia

Mel Gibson Moves to Strip Oksana Grigorieva of Custody of Lucia

Perhaps this explains why Mel Gibson's mug shot painted such a grumpy, serious picture of the man this week. He's preparing for an all-out legal war.

The actor's lawyers will appear in court Monday and ask the judge in his custody battle to award him sole custody of Lucia, according to court papers.

Mel pleaded no contest to battery last week, ending a year-long saga of nasty allegations from Lucia's mother and Gibson's ex, Oksana Grigorieva.

But that was really just the conclusion of the first chapter.


In addition to attempting to take custody away from Oksana, Mel Gibson's lawyers will ask Judge Scott Gordon to award her visitation only with a monitor.

Gibson, whose no contest plea is NOT an admission of guilt (he denies her allegations), also wants the judge to deny Oksana overnight visits with the baby.


Mel's lawyers argue in the court documents that Oksana's "false and derogatory statements" about Mel show she is not acting in the best interests of Lucia.

Oksana Grigorieva has trashed him once again this week, even after Judge Gordon has warned her in the past that she could lose custody if she talked to the media.

This comes after the Mel Gibson tapes, too. Oksana was not charged with extortion, to Mel's dismay, but her shadiness in recording him is beyond dispute.

Mel Gibson Says Hello to Third Grandchild

Mel Gibson Says Hello to Third Grandchild

His life hasn’t exactly been full of good news over the past year or so, so Mel Gibson was overjoyed to welcome his third grandchild over the weekend.

The troubled “Lethal Weapon” actor’s 30-year-old daughter Hannah gave birth to a happy and healthy baby boy on Saturday (March 12).

Hannah is married to blues singer Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and they also have another son and a daughter.
Last week, Gibson entered a plea of “no contest” to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge stemming from an incident with Oksana Grigorieva last year.

Timothy Dalton to Testify Against Mel Gibson?

Timothy Dalton to Testify Against Mel Gibson?

Before Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva dated James Bond star Timothy Dalton, with whom she also has a child. The two still communicate - about Gibson, in fact.

According to reports, Grigorieva told a lawyer that Dalton will testify against Gibson in their case, revealing potentially damning evidence against the actor.

In the battery and extortion investigations into Gibson and Grigorieva, she alleges he punched her and that "Tim" saw a bruise on her left eye after the fact.

"Tim saw a bruise on my left eye as well as Mady," Oksana said, referring also to her facialist and Dalton, the father of Grigorieva's teenage son Alexander.

"Both will testify," she added, noting: "Facts and witnesses."

If Gibson is charged with domestic abuse, the idea of Dalton - the subject of one of many Mel Gibson rants - testifying in court would make for a spectacle.

The revelations about Dalton, taken from Oksana's emails to an ex-attorney, came a day after we learned her desire to call his bluff and take her chances.

The e-mails, texts and documents uncovered in a Radar Online investigation reveal that over the course of last year, Grigorieva has also claimed:

•     That a furious Mel once flew from Costa Rica to "spy" on her
•     That he jealously accused his own friends of hitting on her
•     That she told two other doctors she was "hit by a man"
•     That she emailed a lawyer the night Mel allegedly hit her
•     That she also telephoned three friends - "Jimmy" and "Alicia and Robert Seidler" - the same night, who advised her to call the police
•     That she told Jimmy Mel was "threatening to come and kill me"

While the Russian musician has battled repeated claims she has changed her version of events, or is trying to bilk Mel for cash, the D.A. will ultimately decide whether her account is credible and what, if any, charges will be filed.

Oksana Grigorieva to Face Extortion Charges?

Oksana Grigorieva to Face Extortion Charges?

A Los Angeles County District Attorney will have to decide if Mel Gibson's ex Oksana Grigorieva should face criminal extortion charges, after she released tapes of the actor threatening her.

District Attorney spokesperson Jane Robinson told E! News: “Sheriff’s officials dropped off last part of the Mel investigation today. It’s under review.”

Being questioned is whether Oksana intentionally tried to gain $15 million in hush money to prevent the recordings from going public.

Soon after signing a custody agreement over their daugther Lucia, Oksana Grigorieva reneged and the recordings appeared a few months later, although she has always denied her involvement.

Discussing the taped phone call -- which sees the actor call her a “selfish b***h” -- Oksana Grigorieva said she began recording when she was scared she would not make it “through the night.”

She said: “I started taping it around 11 o'clock because I thought I'm actually not going to live through the night. I wanted my mother to be able to prove that if I'm dead that this is who did it."

Former Oksana Grigorieva Bodyguard: Team Mel All the Way!

Former Oksana Grigorieva Bodyguard: Team Mel All the Way!

Oksana Grigorieva's ex-bodyguard Kristian Herzog has had some rough things to say about Mel Gibson in the past ... like how Mel wanted him dead.

Now, though, the guy who likely knows the most about Oksana Grigorieva's claims against Mel Gibson says she's exaggerating or downright lying about violence.

Herzog, who served as her bodyguard until recently, and who may or may not have nailed Oksana Grigorieva, says she admitted to him Mel never punched her.

Oksana is a manipulative liar trying to bilk Mel, says Kristian.

Rather, Herzog says Oksana Grigorieva told him Mel Gibson slapped her. That's it. Gibson admits slapping Oksana Grigorieva, claiming he was trying to protect daughter Lucia.

Herzog, who's been subpoenaed by Mel's lawyers in the couple's custody fight, also says she had a motive for secretly recording Mel Gibson rants.

That motive, simply, was "to pressure Mel Gibson to pay her money."



Grigorieva reached a $15 million settlement with Mel Gibson, but then backed out at the last minute. Soon after, the tapes leaked online, one after another.

Oksana Grigorieva, who claims she recorded Mel Gibson because she feared for her life, is being investigated by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department for extortion.

Who knows if Kristian is the least bit reliable, but it's interesting that he's come out against Oksana Grigorieva with such damning claims. Makes you think ...

Broke A$$ Oksana Grigorieva Sends Mel Gibson Mammoth Legal Bill For Good Measure

Broke A$$ Oksana Grigorieva Sends Mel Gibson Mammoth Legal Bill For Good Measure

Oksana Grigorieva is not only feuding with Mel Gibson early, often and nastily, she thinks he should be on the hook for all legal expenses therewith.

To the tune of $163,000 a MONTH.

Mel just got a legal bill from one of Oksana's vast arsenal of lawyers, Alan Shifman of the firm Dewey, Cheatem & Howe. Just kidding. Probably.

RELENTLESS: Oksana cannot be stopped in her pursuit of cash justice.

Shifman claims he racked up a $163,000 fee for work performed from October 15-November 15. Then he was replaced like the 38 before him.

Even at $600 an hour, that means he worked about 272 hours during the month, or nine hours a day, seven days a week. Not sure we buy it.

Oksana's attorneys want Mel to pay more than $1 million in legal fees overall. She's too broke to bribe a witness OR pay lawyers, apparently.

Mel Gibson to Judge: Oksana is Malicious!

Incredibly, Oksana Grigorieva's claims that Mel Gibson beat her during sex didn't sit well with the star. Now he's moving to have her stripped of custody, STAT.

Mel Gibson's lawyer went to court for an emergency hearing Friday, asking the judge to strip the "malicious" Oksana Grigorieva of custody of baby Lucia ASAP.

Oksana Grigorieva claimed earlier in the week that Mel Gibson beat her during sex to get aroused. Mel Gibson and his lawyers were outraged at the claim - and that it got out.

Mel accuses Oksana's camp of leaking confidential info.

Mel Gibson to Judge: Oksana is Malicious!

Mel Gibson's family lawyer, Stephen Kolodny, asked Judge Scott Gordon to strip custody from Oksana Grigorieva on grounds she acted maliciously by allegedly leaking the story.

The claim about Mel Gibson stems from a court deposition that was supposed to be kept confidential and hasn't been confirmed. It's unclear how the report got out.

Kolodny also argued many allegations Oksana Grigorieva made in her deposition have never been made before and is a belated attempt to smear Mel Gibson and harm Lucia.

The judge scheduled a full hearing for next month. (THG)

Oksana Grigorieva, Mel Gibson Reach X-Mas Truce

All is right in Gibsonland ... for 24 hours or so.

 Oksana Grigorieva, Mel Gibson Reach X-Mas Truce

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva won't be battling over custody this Christmas. Well, probably. They're splitting the holiday with baby Lucia down the middle.

Lucia will spend Christmas Eve with Oksana and the day itself with Mel. The plan was hashed out after Mel was awarded additional custody this month in court.

It should go off without a hitch ... though you never know. Mel actually almost called the police on Oksana for refusing to turn Lucia over on time recently.

Either way, December 26 it is so BACK ON!

Oksana Grigorieva Says No to Playboy

Oksana Grigorieva Says No to Playboy

After allegedly being offered a nice sum of cash to pose for Playboy, Oksana Grigorieva will not be stripping down for the magazine.



Of the rumored offer, Steve Jaffe, a PR rep for Mel Gibson’s baby mama told TMZ, “Not now, not ever, nor for any amount of money, would our client, Oksana Grigorieva, even consider any offer to pose for Playboy.”

He continued, “Someone might have sent an email to one of her representatives but that’s not news.”

Word has it, the supposed offer was for $75,000 for a “full nude” spread and appearance on the cover. (Hollywood Gossip)

Oksana Grigorieva Gets Playboy Offer

She made a name for herself with her scandal-plagued relationship with Mel Gibson, and now Oksana Grigorieva is being courted by Playboy.



The former girlfriend of the "Lethal Weapon" actor has reportedly been propositioned to pose for a fully nude spread for the men's magazine.

According to TMZ reports, the Russian beauty would also be featured on the cover of the issue - with the offer being for $75,000.



At this point, there's been no response from Oksana's camp - with Miss Grigorieva currently being in the midst of legal matters with her ex, Gibson. (Hollywood Gossip)

Oksana: Seriously, I Didn't Leak the Mel Tapes!

Oksana: Seriously, I Didn't Leak the Mel Tapes!

The Mel Gibson rants. They need no introduction. Vile, expletive-laden tirades such as those would be shocking from any human being, let alone an acting legend.



But Oksana Grigorieva, Mel's ex-girlfriend, source of baby mama drama and recorder of said rants, adamantly denies she's the one who made the tapes public.



If you say it enough times, you start to believe it, right Oksana? Sadly, the public you're trying to convince likely just assumes the opposite - you're lying.

YAWN: Oksana's hourly bashing of Mel contains nothing new.

"I've never leaked those tapes," she says of the infamous audio that surfaced in July, in which Mel rages against her in a series of explosive phone calls.



She says she does not know how the tapes surfaced, and also denies that she ever attempted to extort any money from Mel Gibson. Both likely stories.



Come on. Mel is a hateful moron who needs serious help, but hasn't been charged with a crime, and there's plenty of evidence of Oksana bilking him.

Oksana Grigorieva Claims Mystery Witness Saw Mel Gibson Beatdown

Oksana Grigorieva Claims Mystery Witness Saw Mel Gibson Beatdown

Oksana Grigorieva, Mel Gibson's estranged baby mama, told Sheriff's deputies there was another person present the night the actor allegedly assaulted her.



She says a man named Tony, a security guard and driver for Mel, was there for the alleged assault, a potentially key witness in their domestic violence case.



One small problem, according to TMZ ... no one named Tony worked for Mel at the time. Once again, Oksana probably couldn't appear shadier if she tried.

Still, she tells investigators she's positive Tony was at Mel's Malibu home and believes he saw the altercation ... or at least part of it. This is all very unclear.



Any witness to the alleged incident would be huge if domestic violence charges are filed against Mel Gibson, but that seems unlikely to us, Tony or no Tony.



Despite her claims that Mel could kill us all, Gibson has not been charged with a crime. He needs serious help, but the O.G. has a serious credibility problem.



Sure, it's possible Mel paid Tony a million bucks to change his name and disappear. It's also possible Oksana is lying or exaggerating the incident with him. (thehollywoodgossip)

Oksana Grigorieva Says Mel Gibson Pulled A Gun On Her & Lucia

 Oksana Grigorieva Says Mel Gibson Pulled A Gun On Her & Lucia

As the Mel Gibson & Oksana Grigorieva story unfolds more and more details come out about the claimed domestic abuse. Oksana has been very verbal in the press about the events and now she has given an interview to people magazine outlining more details of the abuse.  

Mel and his lawyers remain silent about the details but do deny they ever happened.  Meanwhile police are trying to determine whether to charge Mel with domestic abuse and on the other  hand are trying to decide whether to charge Oksana with trying to extort Mel for millions of dollars.

In the  interview she gave to People magazine Oksana speaks about Mel pulling a gun on her and how she thought he would kill her and Lucia.  She also says Mel threatened to kill himself if she left him. 

“When the domestic violence event happened … we were completely terrified and devastated,” Grigorieva tells PEOPLE. “Mel kept spitting on my face until it was covered in saliva …he kept screaming like a crazy man. It’s a scary sight.”  “He says get the eff out and then he pulls a gun out,” she says. “He could have killed us all.”

Oksana just does not come off as genuine.  She gave an extremely detailed account of the supposed attack and as anybody knows who has been in situations involving  a physical attack their memories tend to have a high emotional content and a somewhat reduced ability to provide play by play blow by blow account of the attack.  It’s clear that Oksana’s interview is scripted.

Mel has as I have said many times is probably not a very nice person and made many wrong moves and made insulting statements towards minorities.  However when he got involved with this women he did not get a prize.  I am so am sick of hearing from her.  It is really very clear this is all about $$$$$$.
