As for Oksana, she may be a gold digging whore but she has her price. Word has it the Oksana was offered a 15 million dollar separation package if she would just agree to keep quiet about Mel's racist ranting and homicidal threats. Oksana initially accepted the whopping offer bit then reneged on the deal. Now that's only good sense - always reject the first offer! Besides perhaps Oksana decided that the world needed to know how mad Mad Max is. That would strengthen her custody claim on young Lucia. Young Lucia would strengthen Oksana's claim on Mel's waning fortunes. That could add up to much more than a paltry 15 million.
Oksana's claims of abuse, both to her and her daughter might be intended to boost the custody case too. Oksana released some rough looking shots of her self with jagged broken front teeth, and claiming that Mel had broken her expensive dental veneers while in a fit of rage. She has also released some pictures of Lucia Gibson Grigorieva - her first tabloid shots and already more sensational than anything released about the Brangelina brood! - showing a small red mark on the baby's chin. Now the mark is about the same size as a pimple, but Oksana insists that this is proof of child abuse. It supposedly occurred during the incident in which Mel broke Oksana's teeth, and wasn't there before the incident. Of course a claim like that can cut both ways since observers are asking why the hell she stayed with him for a year after that, if he was such a menace. Should it turn out that Oksana herself made the mark on her daughtyer's chin, say to support her custody case, then people are gonna wanna cut her up with rusty razor blades.
To cap things off Mel is mounting a counter offensive - as if he hasn't been offensive enough already. Apparently he's having Grigorieva investigated for extortion. With so many illegally recorded tapes and demands for money it seems like a reasonable case. So Mel's people met with the LA Sheriff's Dept yesterday (they still owe him over that drunk driving arrest) to present evidence that Oksana threatened to go public with the tapes if Mel didn't pay up to the tune of ten million. Oksana says that's ridiculous - after all she's already claimed to have walked away from a 15 million offer that she originally accepted. Maybe that's why she's mentioning it now. It never hurts to try and grab a little creditability, even by way of a likely story! BTW Mel is also being investigated over possible criminal violations.
