Mel's Side: Oksana Grigorieva Mel Gibson Tapes, Explosive Ending!

Why is Mel Gibson Still Gaining Support?

Lori Lane
Radar Online's executive vice-president and creator David Perel made an appearance on HLN's Joy Behar Show with new information, if you hadn't already heard, surrounding the five audio tapes released between allegedly Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

Radar Online dismisses rumors that Oksana sold them the lengthy thirty minute tape that was and still is divided and released daily. Truth is, Perel shared that no money was given surrounding the tape(s).

Who is their source? Perel's not talking except to suggest that there was a lot of good investigative work completed following a restraining order report while dancing around HLN's Joy Behar's question.

The big moment, according to Perel, is about to come. Saving the best (or worst) for last? Twenty minutes of tape has already been released on Radar Online with ten additional minutes of the "most controversial" about to be unleashed. That's a scary upcoming thought.

During the Mel Gibson debate on the Joy Behar Show Stephen Baldwin suggested the Radar Online tapes were a set up by Oksana Grigorieva against Mel Gibson. Baldwin focused on the buttons Oksana may have pushed to get such a response, and Baldwin's not alone on that angle. As you could gather, Joy pretty much would rather have Gibson's mouth washed out with soap.

Questions surfaced of whether the tape recorded rants were tampered with according to our favorite source TMZ. Ever have an excellent mixing board? With our Yamaha we could make Oksana's voice sound like Daffy Duck if we wanted to after splicing and dicing Mel's sentences into a frenzy. It's not that far fetched. Especially when Oksana is calm and no names are mentioned, such as Oksana or Mel. Also, Oksana is no stranger to a mixing board it would seem - she's a professional pianist, songwriter and singer.

We explore the path of a mixing board - where would Oksana get pieces of Mel Gibson rant to put together like a puzzle?

Could Mel have been brushing up on the character Thomas Craven for the movie Edge of Darkness? Seen it, good movie, classic Mel. In the movie Thomas Craven's daughter is murdered and falls into his arms leaving the homicide Boston Police Department detective on a rampage in a maze of secrets for answers. But, as you guessed, Mel's character did not say some of the words heard on the Radar Online tape(s). So, what else could the words have been stripped from, if stripped at all?

Could the words be from practiced scenes from Mel's upcoming movie How I Spent My Summer Vacation about a career criminal put in a tough prison in Mexico? We could see Mel's character go off on a female Mexican guard taking his bribe but probes him anyway. However, according to Brownsville Herald the movie includes a 9-year-old character who assists the criminal in surviving - there goes that pre-taped logic!

It's going to be a needle in a haystack as to where the words came from - if "included" from another time or place.

Oksana's past is just as important as Mel's. Gibson, 54, and Grigorieva, 40, share a daughter, Lucia. Both adults have more than over a decade of differences - they seemingly define salt and pepper, sun and moon, day and night. A young Oksana married actor Timothy Dalton, now 64, in 1997. Dalton was in Wuthering Heights during the same year Oksana was born in Russia. They have a son together, Alexander, according to Wikipedia.

The comparisons can be interesting. Such as, it's evident that Oksana likes older actors. However, two actors and two children does not say much. Yet there is no information surrounding Oksana's divorce with Dalton - it may be interesting to find out what transpired there.

Aside research there is a key factor that is overlooked by many - permission - willing to be recorded.

According to Fox News Mark Geragos told Pop Tarts (sounds good) that it would ultimately be up to the judge whether or not Oksana could face charges for taping another person without their permission - permission - permission! However, there is a chance the judge finds no wrong doing on Oksana's part - it's the exception to the California penal code rule.

Since there is an order against release of anything to do with the case between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva why not investigate Radar Online to figure out whether or not Oksana went against the order? Could Oksana be playing two sides of a coin, above the law?

As Joy Behar stated - it wasn't the baby that gave Radar Online the thirty minute explosive tape(s). Did the butler do it or Professor Plum?

Let's face it. What some call racist remarks, others do not. Some claim it's Mel's voice, others think it's not. Some suggest Oksana is extorting money from Mel, others suggest Oksana is doing nothing of the sort. It's a mixed up bag of nuts, to say the least. But one cannot escape the true mystery - where did the tape(s) come from, if not Oksana? Even though Oksana claimed to be the one speaking, the one taping, the one...the one...

So, as we explored possible tape tampering, lack of permission to record, potential tape leak somewhere or a court order ignored, outside of the Gibson critic room, we end on a final note.

If Oksana is such an angel then why is she denying to some extent Mel's (if Mel on tape) claims that she sucked him financially dry? Because after they split Mel purchased a $3 million home for her and their daughter to live in. The April 2010 story and past pink panty photo can be viewed via National Enquirer compliments of Radar Online.

To top it off, as reported by TMZ, Oksana claimed lack of child support from Mel in late June of 2010. After the $3 mill home, a car, and - dare we say it - health insurance? Many would not have used such a vulgar display on the phone but if, in fact, it were you - some choice words may have been shared.

And these are the reasons why Mel Gibson still gains support.

    I think the 2 of them deserve each other. It's too bad there is a child involved.

    Mel doesn't always help his own case but neither does Charlie Sheen. Charlie is on his ex-wife's answering machine calling her an "N-word," the C-word, and using the F-word about a dozen times. Both Mel and Charlie had/have the same talent agency. The head of that agency demanded Mel's dismissal saying they couldn't handle anybody who uses the N-word. Yet that same agency just negotiated a two million dollar per TV episode contract for premier N-worder Charlie Sheen. Why the discrepancy? Or should the question be, why the discrimination? I can only see one difference between the two situations, "The Passion of the Christ."

    Mel, You know life is a battle between good and evil and either you win or lose. Two sides of the same coin, don't let the negative win. You, just like all of us have the potential to be good or evil depending on what buttons are pushed. This to shall pass, most important is Baby!

  • Barbara7/17/2010

    Mel, I feel for you and at this point I would not give her the satisfaction of pushing the right buttons. You need to be calm and collective and show her whos the better person. You made mistakes like we all do but you need to move on. Don't let her get the best of you. Just go on with your life and be happy. Life is to short to have all this stress and getting her attention. She all kinds of calm and you are the mad person. Take my advise and go the opposite way. Be calm, be happy. You are suppose to be happy with what ever else you have going. Put your energy towards whats going on around you now besides all that stress with her. Go and get a massage and relax. If you need to talk, I'm here even though you don't know me. Im a good listener. barbz1254@yahoo.com I do wish you the best and I will pray all goes well for you. Barbara L

    who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men ;-)

  • Saul Relative7/16/2010

    And he'll continue to have support, especially after his ex-wife has stepped in and has taken his side in the violence allegations. If Mel says he was just method acting, getting ready for a part (is there proof of when the conversations were recorded?), then he just might slide on this...

  • JerseyNana7/16/2010

    I will wait to hear the whole story if that will ever come out!

  • Tony Payne7/16/2010

    Good reporting. It does sound as if there is a lot more to it than you would think at first glance. Could this all be pre-meditated by Oksana...

  • Jenny Heart7/16/2010

    Michele has a great point.

  • Michele Starkey7/16/2010

    One of the other contributors raised a very good point: If your boyfriend, lover or husband were threatening you, abusing you or beating you - would you grab the phone or grab the tape recorder? I think a tape recorder would be the last thing on my mind, how about you? Cheers
