Mel Gibson must be wishing he’d never walked out on his Aussie wife of 28 years, Robyn Gibson, after the gloves came off last week in his increasingly sordid split from one-time mistress Oksana Grigorieva.
The Russian beauty has alleged Mel was “extremely violent” towards her during their three-year relationship — even knocking out her teeth. The 54-year-old Lethal Weapon star has dismissed his ex’s claims as her “crying wolf”, amid allegations she is out for revenge over Mel’s reported affair with Polish porn producer Violet Kowal, while Oksana was pregnant.
Adding to the drama, Robyn is now reported to be in hiding with her 11-year-old son Thomas, fearing Oksana is stalking them out of jealousy over their good relationships with Mel. In an ironic twist, Robyn is now prepared to testify on her ex’s behalf.
As the accusations fly between Mel and Oksana, who have an eight-month-old baby, Lucia, each has filed a restraining order against the other. And Mel has reportedly legally blocked “DVD evidence” against him from being released, amid claims the aspiring singer secretly taped their terrifying rows.
Oksana, 40, claims Mel “punched her in the face … breaking her teeth and giving her a concussion,” sources close to the singer told showbusiness website TMZ.
Giving more weight to her accusations, Oksana reportedly has photographic evidence of her bruised and bloodied face after the fight.
“You can see Oksana’s two main front teeth were broken and there are bruises all over her face,” a close friend reportedly told RadarOnline.com.
“They [photos] will come out eventually and she is prepared to use them in their court case,” the unnamed friend said.
“Oksana was scared to death to go to the cops. Any battered woman is … most women never speak out and suffer for years.”
