oh man, what's this world comming to. it's like everywhere I turn someone did something extremely idiotic/stupid/evil... imo both mel and oksana are a lousy human beings, that's that. actually, the whole hollywood reeks. something's gotta change.

isn't Mel Bi-Polar? that would explain a lot.

I sure am hearing a lot of holier than thou comments. Sure he is ranting and raving. I would put money on that she said plenty to him before hitting that record button to get his reaction. My husband and I have said terrible things to each other in the heat of an argument. Getting physical is not cool, but whose to say she is telling the truth about that? Is there a Dr. report? If not, why not? And her claiming she did not leak these tapes is BS. Of course she did! I think she was trying to blackmail him, and Mel you should have known better than to get involved with her!! She is a cheap user.

I've been in an abusive relationship and I heard the tapes. My ex had a drinking problem and would call me randomly, without the slightest provocation to threaten me over the phone, threaten my family etc. From what I heard, I'm 99% sure Oksana did not provoke him, men like that are unstable. I always leaned towards "the 2 sides to the story: abused women somehow provoke their partners" but after what I experienced, abusive men are gonna be abusive regardless. I've recorded my ex, I didn't plan for it or get things started to do so, but he called me one night, and just started being so abusive and I couldn't understand why. Then I started getting scared for my safety, and just pressed the record button on my phone in case, I needed further evidence if things escalated. I deleted the convo, we're no longer together and emotionally, it has all been an uphill battle. My prayers to Oksana.

what is wrong with some you people. whether she is setting him up or not.. nothing changes the fact that this man says, "blow me, you whore." throws every racial slur out there, pants like a lunatic. she may be pushing his buttons, she may be a gold digger, but clearly the horrible person he is is there. it just needs to be set free. it is always bubbling under the surface. i am in no way condoning her actions, (that is, if they are in fact wrong) but some of your comments prove why women hide rape and abuse. because it often become the question of what did she do to deserve it. WRONG!
