Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva custody fight
Unless you didn’t get the memo, Mel Gibson is crazy. No, seriously- totally, completely, irrefutably insane. And since he’s insane (duh!), craziness follows him, or rather, he attracts it, or even better- he creates it.
That said, it should come as no real shocker that Mel and his baby mama Oksana Grigorieva separated and things are getting messy. Let’s put it this way: Mel and Oksana are making Charlie and Denise’s breakup seem civil.
It was no real surprise when Mel and his baby mama Oksana Grigorieva separated in May, but until recently the drama has been kept to a minimum. Through mediation the two had agreed to joint custody of their daughter, Lucia, but on Monday Oksana filed a restraining order against him in court. That, of course, is when mess got real and the accusations starting flying….
On Friday we learned of an alleged fight between the two in January (yes, you read that right- January) in which Oksana claims Mel physically assaulted her. And by “assaulted her”, I mean she says he punched her in the face, knocking out teeth. This altercation was the basis of the recent restraining order- 6 months later. A source close to her claims she was tired of “living in fear”, while a source close to him said she’s the one that went crazy the day in question, shaking their daughter to the point that Mel had to “step in.”
Of course, Mel’s lawyer contested the restraining order- which also prevented Mel from seeing his daughter- and joint custody was put back in place. At that point it was revealed that Oksana secretly taped them fighting, but that the judge had ordered the tapes sealed. And now there are claims that Mel hasn’t been paying child support. Oy vey.
Now both sides have entered into the usual game of he said she said that will most likely escalate to various levels of ridiculousness until they finally go their separate ways, and with kids involved that is easier said than done- especially in Hollywood.
My favorite quote thus far? A source close to Oksana said, “Mel and his camp are spinning the facts in a desperate attempt to protect his reputation.”
Um, I’m pretty sure his “reputation” is that he’s crazy- any notion to the contrary pretty much disappeared circa 2006.
