EXCLUSIVE: Oksana Grigorieva Files Contempt Charge Against Mel Gibson -- He Faces Possible Jail
Posted on Oct 29, 2010 @ 05:55AM
Mel Gibson is facing jail time after Oksana Grigorieva’s lawyers filed a contempt of court charge against him, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The Russian musician’s legal team filed the sensational motion on Thursday asking a Los Angeles judge to find the Oscar-winning actor in breach of a court order to handover $20,000-a-month in child support.

If found guilty at a hearing on November 10, Mel could be jailed -- or have his wages garnished.
“For three consecutive months, Mel has paid Oksana somewhere between $5000 and $10,000 each month, it varies, but either way, it is well short of what a judge instructed he must deliver the mother of his child," a source close to the legal case told RadarOnline.com.

RadarOnline.com was first to report how the actor, worth up to $500 million, had failed to pay child support for their infant daughter Lucia, who turns one-year-old on Saturday.
Speaking exclusively to RadarOnline.com, Lisa Bloom, said on October 15: “Mel Gibson, at this point, is a deadbeat dad.”

A Los Angeles judge had ordered Mel, 54, who is worth an estimated $600 million, to increase his monthly child support payment from $5,000 to $20,000 each month.
But as RadarOnline.com reported, Mel’s camp has been refusing to write the full check, until the judge rules on a dispute over whether Mel can charge rent for the Sherman Oaks home he owns, where Oksana and Lucia live.

Mel wants $6000 deducted from the monthly figure, for rent.
When asked to explain why he had failed to pay the child support, Bloom, in this video interview, said: “Because he wants to continue to bully Oksana, this is a pattern of behavior that has gone on and on and he thinks he can take advantage of the mother of his daughter.”

20,000.00 for child support is beyond ridiculous! Does she know that in the real world some people don't even make that much a year? She should count her blessings! Get a job freak!

What the hell does she need $20,000 a month for? She should be more concerned about her child, get off your fat Russian ass lady, and work just like the rest of us single mothers.

Waiting for clairfication on the rent is correct. If the answer is she should be paying him rent, then he would never get the money back from her. You can bank on that!

In the tapes,Oksana came across as shameless,manipulative,rude&a bully.E.g the breastfeeding caption when she told him"it's none of your business".With that aloof attitude,anyone would beat her up.She made Mel unhappy&drove him against the wall.

What does Oksana need $20,000 a month for to raise a baby when she has raised a good-enough son on $2,500 a month child-support she's getting from Dalton(rent,food&upkeep inclusive)?She's selfish,extravagant and conceited.$5000 should be okay.

Oksana needs a beating.Hopefully with time Mel will find a really good woman who cares about you and is down-to-earth.Don't give this ugly ingrate any more money,and she ought to handover your baby.

Mel,don't worry about the tapes,on hearing them anyone can tell she was cold and provoking you all throughout.I am black and don't think you are racist at all.Everyone says things they don't mean when they are very angry.

I look forward to Oksana going to jail.She has been playing a dirty game trying to destroy the father of her baby,and lacking foresight.Greedy cow.Does she honestly think she can go on with this for ever?

She wants $20,000 a month to care for an infant. I wonder how much Mel's other kids cost per month. If he can show that his kids live well on less, he should have his case made.

Ox's appearance would be improved if someone smacked her across the face with a 2x4. She is one ugly, mean, nasty beotch.
