Oksana claims Mel’s “cruel” and a deadbeat dad

By Alexandra Heilbron on June 28, 2010 | 10 Comments


Mel Gibson‘s former mistress, Oksana Grigorieva, 40, spoke to London’s Daily Mail to claim Gibson is not paying child support for their nine-month-old daughter. She told the paper by phone yesterday that she’s had to borrow money from friends: “He is not paying me a penny. Nothing. There are so many lies being said about me. I was trying to keep things dignified and be respectful to the father of my daughter, but what he is doing is cruelty. I am having to live on credit cards and borrowed money. It is not a good situation.” She denies that Gibson has filed a restraining order against her, saying she’s taken out one against him, adding, “He didn’t dump me, I left him. I rescued my children and myself.” However, Mel’s lawyer, Stephen Kolodny told TMZ.com, “Oksana’s deceitful conduct in trying to terminate Mel’s access to his daughter continues… Making sensational allegations is not the way to resolve this.”

    Oh, wow. Another gold digger willing to spread her legs to make as much money as she can from a rich man foolish enough to fall for her easy ways.

    East European women are deceitful!
    They make themselves hot and available to play the game of taking advantage of western men who are looking for an approachable woman. They will use your finances, fame and your citizenship for their own selfish purposes.
    Don’t fall for it! They are disingenuous, fraudulent, treacherous!
    Believe me, I know!

    She made her bed as the saying goes, and with another woman’s husband. You reep what you sow. If you don’t understand this is means you got what you deserved.

    “East European women are deceitful!”

    Bill, that’s quite an ignorant generalization, like saying all Germans are Nazis. Then again, you speak from experience, so maybe you’re just upset you got conned by a woman (like any other man).

    peter, i agree. bill, you really need to realize that in this day and age its not ok to be against an entire race.

    about this article, didnt she ever wonder how she was going to support a baby when she found out she was pregnant? did she automatically ASSUME that because the baby belonged to a star that she was entitled to something? did she expect mel to support her and the baby for life? she should have been working before the baby was conceived, she should have worked through pregnancy and she should have found a job once she had the baby. she is still a normal mother and is still expected to support her child too, she cant expect mel to pay for EVERYTHING in her life just because hes a celeb. im sure if she had a child with a non-celeb she wouldnt be expecting to be broken up and still have all of her financial needs met by the ex. i think she only went on about this to try to make herself seem less crazy. mel has a restraining order against her and it was public news before this was. talk about revenge.
