Oksana Grigorieva's Lawyers: "This Has Never Been About Money," Insist She Never Leaked Tapes

Attorneys Daniel Horowitz and Martin Garbus - representing Mel Gibson's ex Oksana Grigorieva - chatted with Meredith Vieira on the Today show this morning about the case. Horowitz says the following about Oksana:

    “She’s a domestic violence victim, she was beaten, she was terrorized, and yet all the media seems to focus on is whether she extorted Mel Gibson, when in fact it’s just the opposite. This has never been about money, there’s no chance in my view of anything even close to extortion... This is what happens to domestic violence victims, they’re vilified, and we’re trying to set the record straight."

He and Garbus continue to insist that their client did not leak the infamous audio tape rants, adding that Oksana is a woman of "stature and accomplishment."

Is it possible that public opinion has swayed and people like Oksana less than Mel at this point?



Damn.

These guys are not even good a spin... No matter what anyone thinks of Mel, it is hard to label Oksana 'a person of accomplishment' whilst keeping a straight face. She and her lawyers seek money and limelight. Really? The Today Show? Meredith?
Money is primary. They are proving themselves to be scammers and schemers and it appears this case may lead to several unsolved murders... Did Meredith ask about those?

So far there are two lawyers who believe it's not about the money... possibly the funniest two guys on the planet!

She accomplished being the mother of his child.

She deserves combat pay to put up with such an idiot.
Of course, he only showed his good side while he was courting, like most abusive men.

Instead of trying all these power plays which made him look like a total monster to the world, why didn't he just offer her a decent sum, got himself good visiting right and walked away.

Hard to reason with an abuser. That's why.

i guess this is her PR campaign right??? not sure what to think of this but the leaking of emails , tapes and who knows what else she have is from her part ..so please !!! NEW LAWYERS and new evidence leaking mmm I do not believe in coincidences

She did accomplish anything. Being the "mother" of and being the woman who had his children are two different things. She hasn't proven herself to be a "mother" to his kid yet. However woman love giving the title "mother" to any female with a kid... but a man isn't necessarily a father just because he helped birth a kid. Double standard. Let's face it, she's a nobody tramp with looks who's only in that situation because of her looks.

Mel is in his 50's. She was pushing 40. She immediately has a kid to line her nest. Of course it was about money....from Day One! She is the ultimate gold-digger and Mel was too stupid to figure it out. If he has any brains he'll get himself fixed.

Horowitz is out of his mind. Of course this was ALWAYS about money for Oksana and it still is. She set him up, period. He afforded her every whim and pleasure, she was clearly jealous of Robyn and Hannah and his other, real family. It is a typical syndrome of the "other woman". Why is it soo hard to understand that fact? Oksana constantly refers to "power, diety, money, Robyn, and her fair share". There wasn't a time when she didn't state these things. Wake up you bimbos, Oksana is someone to warn Hollywood about. She is and always has been if you check out her history, an opportunistic W***e. The tapes were horrid, but so is this woman. Who airs for public consumption, tapes like these? Believe me her actions are NOT those of a domestic victim. Horowitz is a fat money grubbing skank and I am legal all the way, so I can stick him with that claim.

She is a pathetic woman and given the track record of a stable 28 year marriage, I'd say Gibson should have the baby girl. There is no stability in Oksana whatsoever. The tapes, are bad, but they do not prove anything other than a horrible break-up. I'd say most of America has experienced words like these from an x-husband, lover or significant other. It is common. Oskana and all of the lies and different stories she has told are alarming and make her in my opinion, a very sick woman. Her child will hate her one day for doing this to her father. I wonder if she has even considered anyone other than herself? I doubt it. Pathetic

These lawyers are pathetic. Do they really think that the public is that stupid! Why are they mentioning an album that Josh Groban released in 2006? Is that all they can come up with? They are merely spouting what Oksana has told them. Who cares about her background? Naturally she omitted any negatives and there are plenty of negatives. If she was so "terrorized" why did she move into another of Mel's homes? Why didn't she go get her own place? Me thinks she has no intention of giving up the good life. This is about a woman scorned, not a woman terrorized. We all know that the prelude to Mel's meltdown was conveniently missing from the released tapes. Did you catch him yelling, "I want my daughter!" Something Oksana said caused him to go balistic. Mel will take care of his daughter. Lucia will never want for anything, except maybe normal parenting. I believe that he loves that child deeply. Hopefully his lawyers bargain a large trust for Lucia. Oksana needs to learn what it is like to work--no housekeepers, no nannies, no cooks. She needs to get a real job rather than expecting someone else's hard work to support her.

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
