Oksana Grigorieva on Larry King
Oksana Grigorieva was on Larry King Live last night and spoke about her ordeal with Mel Gibson. I was immediately pinged by her responses, and I have to say I do not trust Oksana –not that I in any way defend Mel Gibson’s lack of self-control and temper. I do not.
Read moreWhen asked why Oksana taped Mel Gibson, she replies, “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.”
My next thought was she should be talking about calling the police –not taping him, if this is what she truly believes, but she did not. That’s a whopper of a red flag. From the reports I have read, she never called police that night.
At that point, her story looses validity with me.
She says she started fearing for her life at 8 in the evening. If you are truly afraid you are not going to answer calls or call the person you fear and tape them — heck that would start a true inferno with a man who wants to kill you –especially after it got released to the public!!
If Oksana’s story is true, has she been living in hiding since those tapes came out? Has she hired security guards? Why doesn’t she still fear for her life? Or was this one nasty fight that she is blowing way out of proportion? Violent men who truly want to kill you aren’t stopped when you go public and make more accusations against them. That typically enrages them more! An abused woman would be fearful to do that, but Oksana strangely has no problem causing more controversy in the public eye. She has no fear whatsoever.
Also listen to how she talks about domestic abuse victims. She talks about them in third person as if she is not one of them. That is very notable for me. She says, “They cover up for perpetrators, they try to help them. Then she says, “In the back of my mind I thought if I don’t get killed tonight, then I’d like him to hear what he sounds like…”
I’m sorry, but this is utter rubbish.
While domestic abuse victims do cover for their abusers, and do help them try to recover, they do not think of this stuff in depth of their fear for their life. It’s nonsense!! People whose lives are in danger, abused or not, in those moments, all have feelings of self-preservation. Yet Oksana wants us to think she didn’t. The feelings to help an abuser come later after all the apologies and make-up –when they want to believe their love has changed or will change –not when they are withstanding the abuse. Oksana doesn’t understand human behavior very well and this is a big tell!
At the end, King plays some of the recordings that night. Listen to Oksana push Mel. She says, “You need medication.” Listen to the tone of her voice. Does she sound scared for her life?
I do believe Oksana when she says that Mel was losing control. That’s absolutely true. That does incite this type of anger that we see in Mel, but what threats was Oksana making where he felt he was loosing control? I don’t think Oksana is telling us the complete truth here.
Oksana is asking for a hefty settlement from Gibson for child support. TMZ reported 50-60K a month. There is also a report out at the Huffington Post that Grigorieva had reached a settlement with Mel Gibson for $15M in May where she agreed to destroy the tapes. Is Grigorieva out for money? There is more to this story than Grigorieva is telling. That’s for sure.
