Oksana Got $15 Million to Destroy Mel Gibson Tapes

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 24th 2010 01:45PM

The drama continues for Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva. New documents, which were signed in May, reveal Oksana got millions from Mel in exchange for promising to destroy "evidence," including all those tapes she leaked. She backed out on her word but still wants more money.

According to TMZ, Mel agreed to pay Oksana and their daughter, Lucia, approximately $15 million if Oksana agreed to "turn over all evidence and represent and warrant that all evidence has been turned over and all evidence will be destroyed in a manner agreed upon by both parties."

"Evidence" in this case was noted as "recordings, audio tapes, emails, text messages, videotapes and photographs ... of Gibson."

In July, Gibson, 54, came under fire when a series of leaked tapes of him screaming at ex-girlfriend Oksana surfaced. Grigorieva has since been accused of using the audio rants to attempt to extort more than $10 million from him.

The agreement gives Oksana a handsome payout, including:

- $1 million when she turns over all of the "evidence
- $10,000 per month for 18 additional years payable beginning in January
- $1 million life insurance policy on Mel,
- The rights to their Getty picture deal, and all profits from her album, totaling $17,112.
- They also agreed about a "joint, mutually agreeable press release about the reasons for the separation."

TMZ claims Oksana refused to sign the formal, longer version of the contract that lays out specifics.

"When a person born in a foreign country comes to America, they look at the American justice system as the best in the world. You have a retired judge as a mediator and some of the best lawyers in L.A. in the mediation and you trust that what they are doing is lawful and proper, " Oksana's lawyer explained. "This truly underscores how victimized she was. Mel deserves better as well."

Mel began dating Oksana last year just a few weeks after his wife of over 30 years filed for divorce.

PUH-LEAZE!! She is NOT a victim! I'm not excusing Mel's behavior AT ALL, but we all know that she instigated a lot of the stuff that went down. Selfish Gold-Digger is what she is.

By martin

Typical greedy gold digging chick.How do these guys put themself in these position.Oh what a pretty face will do for a girl

By vlado

Well I think Mel is dumb I would kick her all the way to Russia and send it to Siberia for refurbishing her character. There is name for her "Chirovaja devocka".

By george

Shes instigated most of this crap. You go Mel, most of us movie goers support you. you have been for the most part maligned by a biased media!! Stay strong! Kick her to the curb!

If by being a "gold digger" you mean she found his weakness and exploited it, then I agree. However, she didn't MAKE him an abusive, alcoholic, anti-semetic, racist. He was all those things long before they ever met.

Unreal. The tapes are already out there, so why bother paying her off? Seems like money out the window..and a little illegal if you ask me.

By Di

Nothing illegal this man does suprises....a movie was made several years ago...by this man...supposedly written by him..and suprise..it's identical..to a book a deceased relative wrote..and no one tell me get a lawyer..had 8 already.

Why do you people keep saying that Mel began dating this babe after his wife filed for divorce? Mel and Ox were vacationing together in Costa Rica months before the divorce application. Mel and Ox were living together in his Malibu property prior to the divorce application. And, Mel and Ox's baby was born just 5-6 months after the divorce application. Golly. Mel and Ox sure were just victims of a calendar malfunction!!!!!

By Tex

Yep, like Brangelina.

By madge

She used sex to say to Gibson, "Gotcha" .
And a kid to get her permanent meal ticket in place.

....same excuse bank robbers use.

If she's not getting 15 million in cash up front the deal stinks. She's going to get child support no matter what. the rest stinks to me. I don't feel sorry for him or her, they both deserve each other.

By guinevere

hhhmmm he's no saint, but she's definately not a victim..she's smelled dollar signs ever since she hooked up with Gibson, got pg and yes while he was still married to his exwife...not much sympathy for a gold digger

By Donna

Ever since all this came out, I do dislike Mel.
But this woman,,, I really dislike her. Shes nothing kore than a dishonest, money grubbing, gold digging woman.
I would rather my reputation be ruined, than to pay off anyone like this.
Mel will bounce back, this woman will live the rest of her life being known as the woman who tried to ruin Mel.

By niter36

Just plain old gold digging slot !! guys open your eyes next time and dont think with your other head
