Mel Gibson counters Oksana Grigorieva with extortion claim

By Herald Wire Services
Saturday, July 10, 2010 -

Attorneys for Mel Gibson met with the L.A. Sherriff’s Department yesterday to accuse his Russian baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, of attempted extortion, one day after authorities confirmed they had opened a domestic violence investigation involving the “Edge of Darkness” star.

TMZ.com reported that Gibson’s lawyers were to make “a presentation” of evidence to the Sheriff’s Department that is currently investigating Gibson for domestic violence, child endangerment and assault with a deadly weapon.

The Web site reported that Gibson’s attorneys will provide evidence that Grigorieva allegedly tried to extort money from Gibson in return for tapes she secretly recorded during their “nuclear arguments.” Gibson’s lawyers reportedly were set to ask the Sheriff’s Department to open a criminal investigation against Grigorieva, the mother of Gibson’s 8-month-old daughter.

Gibson was condemned by the NAACP last week after reports emerged that Grigorieva had taped a 30-minute rant by the actor in which he hurled racist and sexist epithets against her in a fit of rage.

But the actor’s lawyer said Grigorieva invented the claims that Gibson punched her in the face twice in January, knocking out her teeth and giving her a concussion, because she was having second thoughts about the confidential custody agreement the couple had signed.

Mel Gibson Demands Sex, Threatens to Burn House Down in Fourth Released Tape

 

Published July 14, 2010

| FoxNews.com

In yet another shocking rant caught on tape, embattled actor Mel Gibson tells ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva that he will burn down her house after demanding sex from her.

In the tape obtained by RadarOnline.com, an incensed, out of breath Gibson chides Grigorieva for falling asleep the night before without giving him sex. He later threatens her physically, telling her he will burn down the house, but first she will have to give him oral sex.

““I deserve to be bl*wn first! Before the f*cking Jacuzzi! Ok, I’ll burn the goddamn house up, but bl*w me first! How dare you!??!”

While reports of his threats were released last week, this is the first time the taped recording of the rant has been released.

In the recording of a telephone conversation, the site says the enraged actor tells Grigorieva “you deserved it” after she says that he hit her and broke her teeth.

He also said “You need a f**king bat in the side of the head,” RadarOnline.com reports.

The two are involved in a bitter custody battle over their daughter.

The L.A. County Sherriff’s Department has also opened an investigation into Gibson's alleged violent behavior toward Grigorieva, that will soon be heading to the district attorney's office.

Investigators are treating this case very carefully," a source close to the investigation told FOX411.com. "They’ll be determined to nail him. It’s highly likely he’ll do time (in jail) for this if found guilty.”

A rep for the Sheriff’s Department stated that the investigation was preliminary in nature and no further information is available at this time. A rep for Gibson earlier declined comment but said a statement could be made sometime this week.

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva: Why Their Custody Battle Went Nuclear

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva: Why Their Custody Battle Went Nuclear

Dominique Charriau/WireImage

 

Two months ago, Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva both sat down in a downtown Los Angeles law office and signed a private contract guaranteeing that her taped conversations of him, made in February, would never see the light of day.

That out-of-court settlement, which also detailed child support payments for their baby Lucia, "was superb and mutually beneficial," says a source close to the case.

The source says the agreement was in the best interests of both Grigorieva and Gibson, whom she taped allegedly threatening her and admitting to having hit her. The authenticity of the tapes is currently being examined by L.A. sheriff's detectives.

Within weeks, all hell broke loose: Both sides were slapped with restraining orders, a judge forced Grigorieva to surrender the audiotapes, and Gibson's alleged vitriol went viral.

So what happened?

Emotionally Vulnerable

"This is a case of a woman scorned," says the source. "When Oksana first met Mel, he promised her the world. Obviously things didn't work out. She ultimately felt screwed over because he wanted out of the relationship."

"Oksana is in essence a good person," the source continues, "yet someone emotionally vulnerable and profoundly naive. She let herself get swept up in this horrendous mess by listening to the wrong advice."

According to the source, Grigorieva, 40, regretted signing the May contract and sought new attorneys who advised her that they could get a better deal.

Gibson, 54, the source says, did nothing to violate the settlement.

"Because Oksana's emotionally vulnerable, she was easily manipulated," the source says. "By going on the offensive, she opened Pandora's Box by disregarding the settlement and taking the case to court, which made the case public. Compounding that, her team didn't disclose the existence of the settlement agreement, which angered the judge. It was a total disaster."

Asked why Grigorieva didn't call the cops on Gibson after he allegedly hit her in January, the source explains: "Oksana didn't want to disrupt things with Mel. She wanted to make sure Lucia was well taken care of. It was best to resolve the situation as a private family matter."

As for how this mess will all resolve: "This is a high-stakes poker game with potential crimes committed on both sides that could go either way at this point," says the source. "The gloves are completely off."

Mel Gibson's Ex Oksana Grigorieva Post-Fight PHOTO Released, Extortion Charges Surface

Mel Gibson Oksana Abuse

UPDATE: Sources connected to Oksana's dentist tell TMZ he believes the photo is doctored.

The sources quote Dr. Ross Shelden as saying, "The nose is not hers. The lips are not right. It's not a true and accurate picture. It has definitely been altered."

PREVIOUSLY: Radar has released a photo of Mel Gibson's ex, Oksana Grigorieva, after she says he punched her twice in the mouth, knocking out her teeth and giving her a concussion. See it here.

"Oksana lost a veneer and the right front tooth was severely chipped," a source familiar with the investigation told Radar.

TMZ reports that Oksana's teeth were not damaged. Her dentist submitted a sworn declaration that one veneer was knocked out and the other was damaged. Experts who have analyzed the photos believe the injury is inconsistent with being punched in the mouth since there is no soft tissue damage--and it may have been self-inflicted.

There is "no evidence of external or internal damage," a law enforcement source told TMZ.

Sources also told TMZ that Oksana tried to extort Mel out of more than $10 million in return for keeping the tapes of his explosive, racist rant private, and there are emails to prove it.

"There's a long trail of evidence," a source said.

Thursday Oksana and Mel attended a custody hearing and Mel did not lose his visitation rights to their baby daughter Lucia.
