Mel Gibson Denies Alleged Anti-Semitic Rant Caught on Tape

Oksana Grigorieva Denies Extortion Plot

Oksana Grigorieva made shocking allegations over the weekend claiming she had a new tape of Mel Gibson making anti-Semitic comments to her. The new tape has yet to be released, but for the first time sources close to Mel Gibson are saying this announcement proves Oksana is the person leaking these recordings to RadarOnline.com.

So far over a half dozen recordings Grigorieva made using an app on her iPhone have been published online and immediately gone viral on websites such as TMZ and YouTube.

In a press release Radar Online announced the new claims from Grigorieva and said she has already alerted authorities in California about the tape.

Radar Online is reporting Oksana's claim that Mel Gibson said, "I want Jew blood on my hands" while referencing a high profile Hollywood figure the actor allegedly believes publicly humiliated him.

But representatives for Mel Gibson are saying not so fast to the new claims. In a statement to TMZ and Access Hollywood lawyers for Gibson said this new allegation is a lie to keep Oksana's name in the news and help her to gain sole custody of the former couples daughter, Lucia. They also said Grigorieva is trying to tie this allegation to Gibson's infamous anti-Semitic statements after his arrest for drunk driving in 2006.

Grigorieva also reportedly told authorities Gibson hired people to put the as of now unidentified Hollywood figure under surveillance, and wished the individual would be taken to the desert, stripped naked, knee-capped and left in the heat.

These new allegations come on the heels of photo's released late last week showing a small abrasion on the chin of the couple's then 2-month-old daughter Grigorieva claims Gibson caused when he hit her and the baby.

Last week Grigorieva fought back against allegations she was trying to extort money from Mel Gibson to buy her silence regarding the recordings. While the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office is launching an investigation into domestic violence claims from Oksana against Mel they are also investigating the extortion charges from Mel against Oksana.

At the center of the allegations is a text message from Grigorieva to Gibson that said, "you broke your agreement with me." A source close to Oksana Grigorieva said the text was in response to Mel asking why she taped their conversations.

According to court documents the agreement may have been over a $15 million dollar verbal agreement the two made when they first started dating.
