Oksana Grigorieva
Oksana Grigorieva spoke out to People Magazine about her problems with Mel Gibson. She talks about how Mel came after her, threatened her and pulled a gun on her, and then threatened to kill himself.
Do you think she is telling the truth?
Read moreI don’t think it takes any rocket science to know that Mel Gibson has a temper. We’ve all heard it for ourselves in the past few months, which makes the likelihood that something could have happened higher than usual.
Is he capable of pulling a gun out and threatening Oksana? Absolutely. The rage we heard in his voice is pretty predictive of his lack of emotional control.
Do I believe something happened on January 6? I do.
Oksana appears to show genuine sadness over the event, but I don’t see fear, which is odd.
I also find it odd how she talks about the gun that day. She says, “And then he pulls a gun out.” Notice how she shrugs her shoulders. That’s not a conclusive hot spot for me (alone as honest people do this), but it is noteworthy. Then she hedges when she says, “And he, you know, he pulls a gun out basically, and he wants to kill us all.”
Basically? He either did or he did not. Why is she minimizing this? This flags me. She also doesn’t speak in past tense when talking about this. She says it in present with the words “wants” instead of wanted.
She continues, and says, “And then he says (shoulder shrug) if I leave then…he’s going to…um…..blow his brains out on the wall (shrug). There was no logic in what he was saying.” When she says this, I see that she is a bit indignant. I suspect he did say said this at one point or another. Did he say it that night? I don’t know.
At the end when she talks about him beating her up when she was holding the baby in her arms, she definitely was concerned for her children. I have no doubt about that, but I’d like to question Oksana about the gun incident. I’m not convinced, but I can’t rule it out at this point. I’d need to see more. Most people who someone pulled a gun on them would be terrified–especially if they were holding their children, as Oksana says.
According to People Magazine, the L.A. Sherrif is investigating Oksana to see if she used the audio tapes to extort Gibson.
Gary Coleman Death: Accidental
News is out today that authorities ruled Gary Coleman’s death “accidental” due to his fall–that after falling, he died of natural causes.
Is that interesting?
I wonder if any seriousness was given to the fact the fall may not have been accidental? That work would involve investigations outside of the coroner’s office.
Sometimes cases like this fall through the cracks for a whole host of reasons. It reminds me of the Kari Baker story. Her death was classified as a suicide at first and it took her family a lot of hard work and effort to get that changed and for her husband, Matt Baker, to be held accountable.
I had a poll on what people thought of Shannon Price on June 11, and 98.23% of people didn’t believe Shannon, while the remaining people were undecided. No one said they trusted her.
Shannon Price truly causes me concern. I worry about the next person or people who come in contact with her. I suspect the probability is high we will see her in the news again one day and it won’t be good news.
Now, how do we classify this case when 98% of those polled didn’t believe her, no one trusted her and yet the case was ruled “accidental” by authorities? I’m totally perplexed! I think we all are suspicious for good reason…
Eddie Long’s Accuser Jamal Parris Speaks
‘Bishop Eddie Long is Almost Like a Drug’ Jamal Parris Talks to FOX Atlanta from Rod McCullom on Vimeo.
I’ve been following the case of Bishop Eddie Long and his accusers. It’s quite an interesting case, with a lot of twists and turns. Did you know two of the three accusers were 18 when the alleged offenses took place (the third was 17)? That’s why this is not a criminal case, and it explains some of the language that Bishop Long used in his speech last weekend.
It is awfully ironic that Bishop Long speaks out against gays, but according to his accusers had sexual relationships with young men. More so, Bishop Long’s lifestyle, raises my eyebrows. He lives a fancy lifestyle off of the money of his congregation and isn’t shy about it. According to NRP, “Long himself drives a $350,000 Bentley, bought a $1.1 million home in 2005 and favors gold necklaces and Rolex watches.”
When I watch Jamal Parris talk, he seems sincere, but this case is complex. It’s not that simple. I need to see more. Remember deception isn’t always black and white, one is honest and one is not. Sometimes the truth runs in between and I need to see more to know exactly what is going on here…
Added 10/6: I do have to say that both of these men raise my eyebrows at this point…
Brad Womack and Ellen DeGeneres
I was shocked to hear that Brad Womack is coming back for another shot at The Bachelor! Were you? I do like to watch this show because I get to see real people in stressful situations. That’s always lots of fun for me 🙂
Brad is honest when he says that he was a total commitment phobic on his first round of The Bachelor. He was also a player and he played himself into a lonely world rejecting two women at the end of the show. Has Brad accept that reality, too? I’m not so sure. Brad loves female attention and Brad also loves himself.
I think Brad is putting himself back out there because he does want a relationship and he thinks the added pressure will make it work. Frankly, ladies, I wouldn’t invest in him. His chances at a successful relationship are slim at this point.
If Brad told us how he had changed, instead of telling us how he defended himself for three years, I’d have more hope, but he didn’t. He just wants us to believe he changed, he believes he changes, but that doesn’t equal real change. I’m just not buying it.
I think we will see a stressed Womack potentially propose to save his soul in public, but that likely won’t equate to a successful Bachelor union, if you ask me. Then again, he is the type who might make the same mistake twice where his courage falters again. Wouldn’t that be interesting to see? I don’t predict behavior, but past behavior gives us a window into what the future could be.
BTW, if there is someone I love, it is Ellen. Didn’t you love how frank she was with Womack? Go Ellen!
