Mel Gibson Allegedly Pointed Gun And Threatened To Kill Oksana, Their Baby, And Himself

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 21, 2010 //

Trust me, at this point I am crazy tired of writing about how nasty a dude Mel Gibson is. But this new revelation is so shocking, I had to share it. As we’ve heard the story for a while, during a fight on July 6th, Mel punched Oksana Grigorieva twice while she was holding their baby, Lucia. The alleged hits were with such force that they supposedly broke Oksana’s front teeth and gave her a concussion. But according to a source who passed Oksana’s statement on to the police, the fight got way, way, worse. After being hit, Oksana fell on the bed and Mel allegedly tried to choke her with one hand and covered her mouth with the other—while she was still holding the baby. He then allegedly took out a gun and began waving it around. He allegedly threatened to kill her, baby Lucia, Oksana’s 12-year-old son (Sascha, who was hiding in the bedroom), and then himself. Oksana then fled the house with both Lucia and Sascha. Sascha was apparently interviewed by child protective services about the incident last week. Keep reading »

“Abusers” Reality Show Brings Real-Life Domestic Violence Abusers Into Your Living Room

Jessica WakemanJuly 20, 2010 //

People on reality shows of yore have eaten bugs, had catfights over men, and stabbed each other in the back for a chance to work for The Donald.

And now, they beat their girlfriends.

“Abusers” is will be an intervention-style reality show that depicts real-life cases of domestic violence and offers counseling and support for both the abuser and the victim. The show — which appears to be in the proposal stage, as there is no mention of a network having picked it up — will be produced by Albert Harris, Jr., a former aide to ex-New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey. The creative team will include Ashley and Josh from “The Real World: D.C.,” who both experienced domestic violence in their homes. Abusers and victims who participate on “Abusers” will be given free online degree programs through the University of Phoenix.

This could work for TV. It just has to be more “PBS” than “Bravo,” you know what I mean? Keep reading »

Mel Gibson’s Latest Screaming Rant At Ex: Profanity And Death Threats By The Numbers

Jessica WakemanJuly 12, 2010 //

So. Mel Gibson, you might have heard, has some issues with misogyny and black people. The last alleged leaked audio of Gibson ranting at his ex-girlfriend was damning as hell. But that was kid stuff. The second alleged leaked audio of Gibson screaming — and I mean screaming — profanity and death threats at Oksana Grigorieva is bone chilling.

I don’t recommend listening to Mel Gibson’s Crazy Rant #2 if you’ve just eaten lunch, cuz this shizz is sick. For your convenience, I’ve tallied up “The Passion Of The Christ” director’s dirty words and death threats after the jump. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go get “You should just f**king smile and blow me because I deserve it!” put on a T-shirt. Keep reading »

“Urkel” Star Jaleel White Accused Of Domestic Abuse

Jessica WakemanJuly 9, 2010 //

No, not Steve Urkel, too! “Family Matters” star Jaleel White has been accused of physically abusing his child’s mother in some very un-Urkel-like behavior. The woman claims two weeks ago, White allegedly punched her in her breasts while they were driving on a highway with their infant in the car. When they arrived home, she claims White slapped her and pushed her into the toilet so hard it broke the tank.

Urkel’s publicist issued the standard denial that all publicists for celebs accused of domestic violence can issue in their sleep: “There was absolutely no battery … no abuse … and the incident never happened. This is just a ploy in an ongoing custody battle over their young daughter to tarnish his name.” We certainly hope this report is untrue. What would Harriette and Carl think of this?

The Latest In Mel Gibson Grossness

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 9, 2010 //

The more I hear about Mel Gibson, the more I wish I had the authority to exile him from the planet. Not that I liked him after the whole “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” drunk driving arrest rant. But as the battle between Mel and Oksana Grigorieva heats up over custody of their 8-month-old daughter, Lucia, more and more totally heinous allegations about Mel are coming to light. The latest—that Mel threatened to kill Oksana. Supposedly, he is on tape saying not only, “I am going to come and burn the f**king house down,” but also, “I will bury you in the rose garden.” Keep reading »

France Makes Calling Your Spouse Nasty Names A Crime

Nikki DowlingJuly 1, 2010 //

The French parliament has approved a hotly debated law that makes verbal abuse—or psychological violence—a criminal offense. Violators could face up to three years in jail and a $93,000 fine. Although it’s difficult to define such behavior that law defines as “repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state.” Letters and email can count here, too.

Mel Gibson’s Split From Oksana Grigorieva Is Getting Ugly

Jessica WakemanJune 28, 2010 //

Mel Gibson‘s split from Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eighth child, is getting messier quicker than the crucifixion scene in “The Passion of Christ.”

Mel and his wife, Robyn, divorced in April of 2009 after seven kids and 30 years of marriage. Later that month, Mel and Grigorieva first appeared in public; she gave birth to their daughter, Lucia, in October 2009. Mel and Grigorieva split in April 2010 and their breakup has quickly unraveled into a custody dispute and accusations of domestic violence.

Last Monday, Grigorieva filed an emergency restraining order against Mel, alleging he hit her twice in the face and knocked out two of her teeth. The very next day, Mel filed a restraining order against her, which prohibits her from speaking about certain parts of the case. Keep reading »
