Mel Gibson has escaped serving jail time because he agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors in his domestic violence case, he will plead guilty to misdemeanor battery of Oksana Grigorieva and he will escape going to jail.
Mel will attend court on Friday where he will plead not guilty to simple battery, he is said to believe that if he did fight the case he would win but since he wants “protect” his loved ones he decided to accept the deal. Blair Berk, Mel’s lawyer, released a statement saying:
“I know from almost 20 years as a criminal defense lawyer that sometimes justice can come for a client at too high a personal price. That is particularly so for Mel, whose right to due process can only be exercised in this case with an enormous media circus attached. Mel’s priority throughout all of this has been that the best interests of his young daughter Lucia and the rest of his children be put first in any decisions made. It is with only that in mind that he asked me to approach the District Attorney with a proposal that would bring all of this to an immediate end.”
So let me get this if you decide to beat on your loved one and then plead not guilty to “simple batter” you can pretty much get away with it. This is sending such a good message to people out there. The only punishment that Mel is likely to get is maybe a few classes on domestic abuse. What a world we live in.
TMZ are reporting that Oksana Grigorieva‘s latest claim under oath is that Mel Gibson beat her up while they were having sex – and there was no safe word because she didn’t know it was going to happen.
Oksana never made a claim like this before so it seems random but anyway, she claims that when they were doing the dirty Mel beat her up because he was having problems getting it up and that’s the only way he could do it.
TMZ claims they have gone through the court file and the only bit of physical violence that pops up is when he hit her on January 6th, none of this sex beating stuff.
I’m gonna call bullshit on this allegation, but then again you never know what goes on behind close doors – especially the bedroom door. See people if anyone ever mentions a bit of slapping each other in the bedroom make sure there is always a safe word. That’s my words of wisdom for the day.

Oksana claims in her declaration, during the January 6th showdown, Mel Gibson struck her twice, and the second blow grazed Lucia, drawing blood and creating a small abrasion on her chin.
Oksana submitted a photo in the custody case purporting to show Lucia’s injury. [ see photos ]
That’s all well and good, but TMZ has obtained screen grabs from a video Oksana sent Mel on January 9th, three days after the incident, which Mel’s lawyers claim in court documents show absolutely no evidence of an abrasion.
Looks like a pimple to me.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mel’s lawyers claim Oksana doctored the photo to prove a phantom injury.
All their dirty laundry just seems so bizarre to me.
Oksana Grigorieva told Larry King on Wednesday night that Mel Gibson hit her, choked her and waved a gun at her during a violent encounter in January.
Oksana recalled on ‘Larry King Live‘ that on “Jan. 6 [of this year] the beating took place. Mel actually assaulted me while I was holding the baby in my arms … I ran into my son’s bedroom and told him, ‘Mel’s crazy.’”
Oksana recalled on ‘Larry King Live‘ that on “Jan. 6 [of this year] the beating took place. Mel actually assaulted me while I was holding the baby in my arms … I ran into my son’s bedroom and told him, ‘Mel’s crazy.’ ”
See the interview:
Oksana said that her 12-year-old son, Alexander, hid behind the bed as Oksana stood with her daughter Lucia, “like a mother protecting her cubs.”
Gibson came into the room and struck her twice, she said. When Larry asked if Mel was drunk, Oksana said he was not. “He hit me, and choked me in front of my son and brandished a gun at me.”
King asked her, “Why did you stay with him?” Grigorieva replied, “That was a mistake. I stayed a little bit too long.”
Oksana admitted to forgiving and getting back with Mel at one point: “I gave him the last chance. He asked me for the last chance. He begged. He cried. He cried on his knees. What am I supposed to do?”
When asked by the talk show host why she taped the phone calls with Gibson, Oksana said, “I started taping it around 11 o’clock because I thought, ‘I’m actually not going to live through the night. I’m actually not going to live through the night and I wanted my mother to be able to prove that if I’m dead that this is who did it.”
Mel Gibson, on the other hand, enjoyed a night out with his ex-wife Robyn on Tuesday, according to The Daily Mail. In a show of Gibson family unity he and his former wife of nearly 30 years were among the guests at their son Milo’s 21st birthday at a restaurant in Hollywood. News came out this week that Mel admitted to slapping, not punching, Oksana in a fit of hysteria.
Team Oksana Grigorieva lied to TMZ when they denied she had an intimate relationship with her convicted felon/former bodyguard, at least according to several emails between the bodyguard and Oksana’s lawyer.
But Oksana’s lawyers say there’s more to the story.
TMZ broke the story that Kristian Herzog, who has served time in jail for impersonating a cop, claimed to have been in an intimate relationship with Oksana that began in May.
Oksana’s lawyer, Dan Horowitz, told TMZ last month, with Oksana looking on, Herzog’s claim was “ridiculous”.
But TMZ has obtained an email Herzog sent to Martin Garbus, another one of Oksana’s lawyers, on November 6th.
The email reads: “Martin: Do you agree that Team Oksana at some point, needs to admit Oksana and Dan LIED to TMZ and you need to tell TMZ the truth that in fact Oksana and I were intimate?”
The next morning, Garbus responded with one word: “Yes.”
Dan Horowitz explains the emails this way:
“Marty’s job was to placate Kris, because once he got cut out of Oksana’s world completely, we assessed him to be a clear and present danger to her life. By stringing him along and making him feel important, we hoped that he would just fade away rather than explode and hurt somebody.”
TMZ has also obtained photos (above) showing Oksana in a nightgown, sitting on a bed with Herzog at her home. But Horowitz claims the pictures were taken during a PEOPLE magazine photo shoot and were in no way intimate.
A resounding chuckle — and why would People stage THAT particular set up?
The judge in the custody case issued a restraining order against Herzog last month, concluding he was a danger to Lucia and prohibiting him from going near her.
The always-surprising Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva saga continues with Grigorieva filing a contempt of court charge against Gibson on Thursday, RadarOnline.com reports.
She claims the movie star has failed to pay the $20,000-a-month in child support he was court-ordered to provide her.
If he is found guilty at a hearing on November 10, he could face jail time or have his wages garnished.
“For three consecutive months, Mel has paid Oksana somewhere between $5000 and $10,000 each month, it varies, but either way, it is well short of what a judge instructed he must deliver the mother of his child,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
Gibson, reportedly worth around $500 million, was ordered by a Los Angeles judge to increase his child support payments from $5,000 to $20,000 a month. But RadarOnline reports that Gibson is refusing to pay the full amount until the judge rules on whether or not he can charge Grigorieva rent for currently staying in the house he owns. He wants to deduct $6,000 a month.
Lisa Bloom, Grigorieva’s attorney, has some sharp words for Gibson. “Mel Gibson, at this point, is a deadbeat dad.”
Earlier today TMZ reported that Playboy were going to offer Oksana Grigorieva a cool $75,000 for her to pose fully nude in a spread for the magazine.
Playboy were also going to give her the cover of the magazine but now it seems that none of this is going to happen because she has turned the offer down. Her rep said…
“Not now, not ever, nor for any amount of money, would our client, Oksana Grigorieva, even consider any offer to pose for Playboy. Someone might have sent an email to one of her representatives but that’s not news.”
Considering the amount of legal debt she has, I wouldn’t be surprised if we do indeed see her nude in Playboy sometime in the next year.

Oksana Grigorieva‘s bodyguard had an intimate relationship with her since May, so he claims, and he’s writing a tell-all book that he says will rock the case.
Kristian Herzog, the bodyguard who was recently ordered to stay away from Lucia because of a criminal record involving guns, is telling people connected with the case he was Oksana’s boyfriend for months and still communicates with her on a daily basis.
Herzog is saying he has more than 1,000 text messages and more than 1,000 emails in which he communicates with Oksana about every detail of the case — Mel Gibson, evidence, witnesses, legal strategy and major conflicts between the players.
Herzog certainly had access , he was present during virtually every meeting Oksana had with her lawyers.
As for how Herzog can write a book, he never signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Now I’m not saying the interview looks completely choreographed and staged…Okay, yes, I am, because it does (click here to see it). At first, OctoSana tells Radar that she can’t talk to them, but then she continues to talk…and talk some more.
Oksana claims that Mel Gibson is “trivializing domestic violence” by claiming she tried to extort him.
“It is unfair that by standing up to somebody — and speaking out — I am being victimized all over again.
“He has hurt so many people I feel like I am being victimized all over again.”
Frankly, I’m sick of the both of them. I blame Radar for that.
Mel Gibson has got to be feeling pretty good today after Judge Scott Gordon ruled that he does not pose any threat to his daughter and will not lose his visitation rights.
Oksana Grigorieva has previously stated that Mel is an ongoing threat to her and baby Lucia, and the resulting custody battle was not looking good for him after the “leak” of several tapes where he displayed some pretty serious anger issues.
Mel’s ex-wife, Robyn Gibson, was a huge help in making sure the Judge did not rule against him. Robyn stated that at no time neither during nor after their 28 years of marriage was he ever physically abusive to her or their children. I wonder how bad Mel is feeling about leaving his wife for the attention whore that is currently trying to destroy his life?
The problem is, her dentist claims the photo has been doctored.
Dr. Ross Sheldon is the dentist who fixed Oksana Grigorieva’s trashed grill after whatever the hell happened to cause the significant damage to her front teeth. He says,
“The nose is not hers. The lips are not right. It’s not a true and accurate picture. It has definitely been altered.”
The teeth are definitely hers, but the rest of the picture is very suspicious.
Sheldon also claims that she did, in fact, tell him that Mad Mel is the one who caused the injuries, but that his evaluation raises serious questions about her injuries. He did not see any evidence that Oksana was actually struck in the mouth at all. The dentist believes that she was possibly struck in the left temple, which caused her to bite down hard enough to break the veneer and chip the tooth. He claims that he witnessed bruising on her temple.
Photos taken at his office apparently show no such bruising. The medical charts indicate that there was no damage done to the soft tissue in Oksana’s mouth, which there would be if she had been punched there. There were only two small bite marks inside her lip, which led the dentist to his wacky chain reaction theory.
What do you think? Did Mel beat the crap out of his gold digging ex or not?
