Mel Convinces Sheriff to Probe Possible Oksana Extortion Attempt

Michael Kovac/FilmMagic

 

Mel Gibson's reputation has been pretty much trashed this month, thanks to his greatest hits being in heavy rotation on the Web and detectives trying to determine whether he did indeed beat his ex-girlfriend and endanger their child.

But he's not going down without a fight.

His lawyers have finally convinced officials to investigate a possible extortion attempt by rant subject Oksana Grigorieva.


"I can confirm that the Sheriff's Department is looking into extortion allegations that have been brought to our attention," Los Angeles Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells E! News.

The probe was launched after Team Mel met with detectives yesterday to present their side of the sordid story.

Sheriff's detectives are already gathering evidence to see if Gibson may have perpetrated a crime, however no charges have been filed.

Sources have claimed that Grigorieva threatened to go public with recorded phone calls of Gibson's vicious diatribes if he didn't pay her as much as $10 million in hush money.

Grigorieva has adamantly denied leaking the tapes to RadarOnline and previously labeled the allegation she tried to blackmail Gibson as "ridiculous."

Her rep, Stephen Jaffe, declined to comment on today's developments, telling E! News: "At this time I cannot comment at all because I am not familiar with the allegations other than what I have heard on the tapes, which I have never doubted are true and accurate." (eonline.com)

Oksana Grigorieva Abuse Photo; Were Injuries Caused By Mel Gibson or Self-Inflicted?

The Mel Gibson tapes are disturbing and reveal a terrible temper, but Oksana Grigorieva is still lacking for evidence that the actor physically attacked her.

Until now ... maybe.

Earlier this morning, Radar Online posted a photo of Oksana taken hours after she claims Gibson punched her in the face during a January 6 altercation.

The image is part of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department's ongoing investigation of the deeply troubled actor, who may face domestic violence charges.

It’s also being used by Oksana in her custody battle with Mel over their eight-month-old daughter Lucia. You can see the awful photo for yourself here.

The question is: Did Mel Gibson do it?

Not necessarily. Oksana says he punched her twice in the mouth, knocking out her teeth and giving her a concussion. But is the pic consistent with that claim?

According to TMZ, Oksana's teeth were not damaged, despite her dentist submitting in a declaration that one veneer was knocked out and another damaged.

Experts who have analyzed the photos believe that Grigorieva's injury is inconsistent with being punched in the mouth since there is no soft tissue damage.

In other words, it may have been self-inflicted and this is a shakedown.


There is "no evidence of external or internal damage," a law enforcement source told the celebrity gossip site. Mel has denied physically attacking Oksana.

Gibson's lawyers are expected to accuse Oksana of trying to extort Mel out of more than $10 million in return for keeping the tapes of his tirades private.

As for the rant in which Mel apparently admits beating Oksana, telling her she deserved it after she referenced him punching her, that's questionable too.

Mel's legal team wants taped rants thrown out as evidence because of "strong evidence" they were edited and tampered with ... it's all extremely weird.

Basically, the Gibson tapes are what they are - in terms of vulgarity, and proving in chilling detail that one of Hollywood's biggest stars needs serious help.

But there's also so much we don't know: Why he is SO angry? Were the recordings altered? Is her injury really self-inflicted? Will either face charges?

That we'll have to wait and see. (thehollywoodgossip)

Mel Gibson Sources: Oksana Grigorieva Demanded $10 Million to Keep Tapes Secret

The five shocking, vile recordings of Mel Gibson tearing apart his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have painted a disturbing picture of the actor this week.

Mel's crazed rants were filled with racial slurs, misogynistic insults, death threats, demands for oral sex and laments of financial problems. Just ugly stuff.

But where the Mel Gibson tapes - which his lawyers already claim were edited and altered - the subject of a criminal extortion attempt by Grigorieva?

Sources connected with the star say there is "hard proof" Oksana tried to blackmail Gibson, demanding more than $10 million to keep the tapes secret.

We're guessing he didn't play ball.

RANSOM: Mel Gibson clearly has serious problems, but was Oksana Grigorieva trying to exploit and extort him by recording their explosive phone calls in secret?

Sources close to Mel now say Oksana even went so far as to demand a specific amount of money, one they declined to reveal but say exceeded $10 million.

Moreover, the sources boldly claim that there are emails and other "physical evidence" to prove it. One source even said, "There's a long trail of evidence."

The judge handling Mel and Oksana's custody fight declined to strip him of visitation rights Thursday, even as police investigate him for domestic violence.

Oksana alleges that Mel hit her in the face twice, citing one of the tapes as evidence. Mel's wife of 28 years, Robyn Gibson, says he was never violent.

Mel's lawyers will be meeting with L.A. County Sheriff's deputies, making a presentation of evidence which includes their alleged evidence of extortion.

His legal team will likely push for a criminal investigation of Oksana. (thehollywoodgossip)

More Mel Gibson Goodness

Wow- just when we thought things with Mel Gibson couldn’t get any weirder another tape has surfaced with more choice recordings of the enraged “Lethal Weapon” actor.

The new tape is a flurry of f-bombs and threats against his ex-girlfriend/babymama Oksana Grigorieva as well as random moments of intense panting.

In one of the rants, Mel shouts, "You need a [expletive] bat in the side of the head. … You need a [expletive] brain transplant. You need a [expletive] soul."

Gibson also states, "Threaten ya? I'll put you in a [expletive] rose garden. … You understand that? Because I'm capable of it."

And when Oksana tells Mel he isn’t a man because he hit her in the face and broke her teeth, Gibson replied, "Oh, you're all angry now! You know what, you [expletive] deserved it." (Celebrity Gossip)

Mel Gibson Investigated For Domestic Violence

thehollywoodgossip - The chatter regarding Mel Gibson's alleged abuse of ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva isn't just getting attention online - it's sparked interest among police.

A terrifying tape of Mel's racist tirade against the mother of his eight-month-old daughter surfaced last week. Grigorieva herself denies leaking the tape.

The release of the rant followed accusations that he punched her in the face, however, painting a sick picture of the actor, who split with her in January.

In the tape, Mel allegedly references the incident in which Grigorieva says he assaulted her, and adds that she deserved it. What a class act this guy is.

Understandably, the police are looking into it.

If Oksana is to be believed, no one is safe from Mad Mel.

"An investigation of domestic violence has been launched by [Los Angeles Sheriff's] Malibu/Lost Hills station detectives ... involving actor Mel Gibson and his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva," read a statement released Thursday.

Referring to the January 6 incident, "The police detective in charge of the investigation is currently gathering information regarding the allegations. Due to the investigation being preliminary in nature, no other information is available at this time."

Attorneys on both sides weren't available for comment.

Gibson and Grigorieva have been locked in a bitter custody fight over their daughter, with the Russian singer filing a restraining order June 25. That was the first time the claim he punched her in the face "more than once" became public.

Sources close to Gibson have denied there was any physical violence, claiming he merely was trying to stop Grigorieva from shaking Lucia "like a rag doll."

Mel Gibson Racist Tirade Against Oksana Grigorieva: Sickening and Caught on Tape

Mel Gibson told the mother of his child, Oksana Grigorieva, that she looks like "a f*king pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of ni**ers it will be your fault."

Seriously. He was caught on tape.

The always upstanding actor was secretly recorded by Oksana in the midst of their breakup and custody battle. The words "whore" and "c**t" were also used.

Sickening stuff, honestly.

The tapes were submitted by Oksana Grigorieva to the judge in the custody battle over their baby daughter, which has grown increasingly contentious lately.

Mel Gibson: Even more of a disgrace than thought!

They were recorded prior to May, when Mel and Oksana reached a custody deal - one that since fell apart, with her accusing him of being a deadbeat dad.

Oksana, who says she has incendiary emails she kept from Gibson, has also accused Mel of punching her in the face during a heated January altercation.

We'd like to believe that it's more complicated than this, that there are two sides to the story, that there's a chance Gibson is innocent of any wrongdoing.

We're not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, however.

After all, this disgraceful human being once said, after being busted for DUI, "f**king Jews ... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."

His description of Oksana Grigorieva above? Par for course for pure scum.

Did Mel Gibson Bust Oksana Grigorieva's Grill?

It turns out Mel Gibson's estranged baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva did indeed go to the dentist following a confrontation with the actor on January 6.

The question: Was Mel responsible for the damage she had repaired, or is Oksana just trying to manipulate circumstantial evidence to slander him?

As we reported earlier, Mel punched Oksana in the face - she claims - twice during a heated argument, knocking out teeth and giving her a concussion.

TMZ has since learned there are photos of the damage to Oksana's teeth and records showing that she did in fact go to a dentist the very next day.

Why? That's what's being debated.

OKSANA VS. MEL: Who's telling the truth?

Sources close to Oksana are saying that one of her teeth was completely knocked out and another was chipped thanks to Gibson's violent behavior.

Mel's camp counters that he was not responsible for any damage to Oksana's teeth and that they were not actually damaged ... just the veneers.

One source adds, "Mel has no idea what she did after he left the house." Is it mere coincidence that she required dental work after this altercation?

Oksana says she has recordings of arguments with Mel she secretly taped, and that one of the tapes may incriminate Mel in the January 6 incident.

Sources connected with Mel beg to differ. Stay tuned. (thehollywoodgossip)
