Mary says many interesting things in this video to me. What do you see?
Do you think this guy is remorseful?
Steve Kardian talks about the crime likely being under reported. I’ve met Steve and I think he is an awesome guy! He is really passionate about what he does, very motivational and an absolute inspiration.
Capri Anderson was on Nightline last night talking about her allegations against Charlie Sheen. Many people want to know what the story is!
I believe Capri Anderson is upset about something that happened, but when she tells her story, she is clearly leaving out a lot of details, which flags me. Without the details, it means she has a need to hold things back, and with that, I have to ask why.
ABC says because Charlie was “too drunk to carry on” Capri put Charlie to bed. Capri, however, picks up the story about going into the room. She says, “We go inside the room and then I hear kind of a big snorting sound and I look over and he says, ‘Do you party?’ and I say, ‘No, no thanks.’ Politely.”
What?
I thought Charlie was too drunk to carry on. This is a red flag! She is leaving out a lot of details and her details don’t even add up at this point, if Charlie is truly too drunk to carry on!
She says at another point, “He gets up at one point, and he’s kind of with his hands around the bottom of my dress, my thighs, and he kisses me.” Uh…I don’t want to ask. Envision what she just suggested. Either she is being very lewd or she is twisting reality here.
She continues, “He starts kind of walking with me, against me so I am walking backwards at that point, towards the bed and he gets on top of me…”
Do you notice how many times she says “kind of”? Either he is walking or he isn’t!
She wants us to believe without any provocation he puts his hands around her neck. I’m sorry, but I’m not buying this. If Charlie did this, it would happen with provocation. People don’t just drool to squeeze someone’s neck, or if they did, there is more to this story.
Capri then tells us he threw a lamp and trashed the place. Okay. Where are the details? Her entire role in this has been removed, which is very fishy!! If she is an innocent bystander as she wants us to believe, she would have nothing to hide, but obviously she feels the need to hide something!
Carpi’s story that she was afraid to call 911 because of Sheen’s wealth and power is unbelievable to me. If the police see a room that is trashed, that’s pretty good evidence of someone being out of control. This is more suggestive she didn’t want to be held accountable for something herself, if you want my opinion.
Her story that it wasn’t her choice to come forward because her name was leaked to the press is another bunch of bologna! She could remain silent, if she chose. She didn’t have to go on Nightline.
At this point, I wouldn’t put a penny on Capri’s story. She’s hiding details and she’s hiding them for a reason. Yes, she appears upset at times, and it is genuine AT TIMES but it could be because she has to answer up to rumors she wishes would go away instead of what Charlie may have done to her!
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.
