Oksana Grigorieva claims photos prove Mel Gibson ‘brutal attack’

[HMG] – In a predictable sequel to earlier stories it’s now being reported that Oksana Grigorieva, the estranged girlfriend of Mel Gibson not only has tapes of Mel in an allegedly racist tirade, but also has photos of the results of a beating.

This latest stage in their ongoing feud centers around photos which Oksana claims show her bruised and bloodied after being supposedly beaten by the 54-year old actor.

“You can see Oksana’s two front teeth were broken, and there are bruises over her face,” a friend who has seen the photos tells Radar. “They will come out eventually, and she’s prepared to use them in their court case.”

The apparent assault took place at Mel’s Malibu mansion on January 6th. But Mel’s lawyer has emphatically denied his client has been, or was ever violent toward the 40-year old Russian singer.

So why, you may ask, is Oksana sitting on photos? Why not go to the cops right after the ‘fight’ ?

“Oksana was scared to death to go to the cops,” claims the source. “Any battered woman is. Most women never speak out and suffer for years.”

The former couple’s romantic connection imploded in April, and the core of their dispute is Mel’s wish for visitation rights to their 8-month old daughter, Lucia. But this wasn’t helped when Oksana obtained a restraining order against him last week.

Mel later filed one as well.

There is no court date we know of as yet, but we’ll keep you advised on how bad this thing gets…
