Oksana Grigorieva: Don't Blame the Victim, Mel!
Mel Gibson's lawyers say Oksana Grigorieva has lied about her injuries and tampered with evidence regarding his alleged assault on the mother of his child.
Now Oksana's spokesperson claims she is the smear campaign victim.
Stephen Jaffe says that "While Mr. Gibson's camp has floated a variety of false claims to try to distract the public from the true facts at hand, it is telling that his camp has not once denied that it is Mr. Gibson's voice on the published recordings."
Those being the Mel Gibson tapes.
It's true that the actor's lawyers haven't denied it's him on the tapes, which paint him as a bona fide crazy man. They've suggested that the tapes may have been doctored by Oksana and his rants taken out of context - big difference.
Both Oksana and Mel claim the other is slandering them.
Jaffe then adds, "It is common in such cases for those who perpetrate domestic violence to vilify the victim of that domestic violence. One would hope that those who are close to Mr. Gibson would take a more constructive approach."
The spokesman's response comes in part after reports surfaced last week intimating that Oksana's injuries may have been self-inflicted - which she denies.
The judge in their custody battle over eight-month-old Lucia is at least somewhat skeptical of the allegations, given the possible inconsistencies of the evidence and testimony from Mel's wife, Robyn, that he never abused her in 28 years.
However, other experts say her injuries are consistent with her story.
"It is obvious not only from the photograph of Ms. Grigorieva, but from other evidence ...that he struck her in the mouth and temple, that she sustained injuries as a result of his blows," says a source close to the Gibson investigation.
"The notion that her wounds were 'self-inflicted' is ridiculous and not credible. No legitimate, independent expert analyst could reasonably draw such a conclusion."

A couple of days ago, the Headline News interviewed a guy from Radar Online. He said, Oksana brought the tapes to Police, and Radar did some "investigating reporting"...and got the tapes..And by the way, Radar didn't pay a dime for the tapes.....It sounded almost like it was someone from L.A. police, who "shared " the tapes with Radar. I am sure, there are some people there who are not big fans od Mel...Remember his drunk arest 4 years ago?
Oksana was with Dalton for more than 10 years, and 3 years with Gibson. If he was a stable guy, I am sure she would be still with him. He is not a bad catch: talanted, has money, not bad looking and loving...Too bad he is not all of these...
I just don't understand, how you, girls, can blame her for "intentionally" conceiving a child? Wasn't he there too?
I used to love his movies, and still do, but unfortunately he is a truly mad man. I am sure he even knows it, somewhere deep inside. He has to! No one who is a true Christian will act t

There is a resolution to Mel's situation... His ex wife should file suit against Oxbama for intentional alienation of affection in the amount of $10Million. There was a similar case in No Carolina and the woman won a large sum. Oxbaba targeted Mel and accepted his cash and help with her "career" and you know that child was conceived intentionally to ensure the cash flow. She should also be arrested for pandering or solicitation. Her conduct is appalling. She allegedly loved this man enough to have his child and yet has no compassion or sympathy for the position she has put him in. She is smiling in the camera like she has earned it's adulation - and doesn't seem to understand she is the star of this tragedy. Furthermore, once the dust has settled that child will be ignored and unloved because it will have served it's purpose - 'it' will be drug out on occasion for dramatic effect when the lights of the cameras no longer seek her...

i recall a while back where oksana claimed that she was not wanting to play this out in the media, and claimed that mel was trying to do so.
every single day since, there has been some tape or statement released from her camp directly to the media/tabloids.
her camp has done nothing other than try to tarnish the public image of mel, and give a distinct opinion to the public prior to any trials or court proceedings.
the courts have made the assessment that mel is not a threat to his daughter.
i highly doubt that a judge who is a specialist in domestic abuse is less credible than some high priced lawyers employed by the 'victim' who is demanding money.
oksana's past seems to include marrying people for citizenship, money, opportunity, and fame.
i think mel's camp needs to play a bit dirty as well and publicize these facts. she should get as good as she gives.
she certainly fights like someone who wouldnt stand for being abused and hang around for months afterward.
