Domestic Violence

Mel Gibson appears to hate everyone. The 54-year-old outspoken actor is being investigated due to domestic violence allegations that have surfaced. The allegations likely came from his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, whom Gibson has been locked in a brutal custody dispute with over their 8-month-old daughter, Lucia.

The Russian singer Grigorieva, 40, filed a restraining order in June that claimed that Gibson punched her in the face “more than once” in January, causing a broken tooth and concussion. Sources close to Gibson have denied any wrongdoing.

Gibson’s most famous run-in with the law occurred in July 2006 (mug shot seen here), when he was arrested for DUI and then made anti-Semitic remarks to the arresting officer, who is Jewish.

Investigations continue in Malibu for the case of domestic violence accusations for actor Mel Gibson and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.  The celebrity couple have a baby girl together, named Lucia.  Recent telephone calls that Oksana handed over to police include violent outbursts that made Ms. Grigorieva fear for her life – these are included within the current evidence.

Allegedly, within the messages, Mr. Gibson stated that she deserved a beating because she was ruining his career and keeping him away from his daughter.

They have been in a battle for custody over Lucia for a year now, but further evidence has not been created.

The Los Angeles Times indicates that Gibson’s representative Alan Nierob has not confirmed the report’s accuracy due to legal matters.

Mr. Gibson would face criminal defense charges, jail time and civil penalties, and could lose visitation rights to his daughter.  If the court decides Mr. Gibson is a danger to them, this could very well happen, but they are only investigating – Not arresting or charging. Right now, Mr. Gibson is a very famous actor and producer, but negative press like this, even if untrue, continues to hurt his box office popularity.

Since being a part of The Rolling Stones for the past three decades, 62-year-old guitarist Ronnie Wood has had a somewhat over-the-top private life in addition to his crazy life on the road.

Wood was released on bail yesterday until a court date in January after being arrested for an alleged domestic assault two days ago on Claygate High Street near a town southwest of London.

According to police, they were called to the scene around 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 2 after a domestic incident was reported. Wood was taken into custody and spent the night in jail before being released on bail yesterday.

Although details surrounding the arrest have been kept a secret as the event is still under investigation, it is reported that Wood began dating a 20-year-old Russian cocktail waitress while married to wife Jo for 24 years. Wood’s name was prominent in the news last year as his divorce on the grounds of adultery was highly publicized all over the world.

Police haven’t yet released any details explaining who was assaulted. I’m sure we’ll be hearing very soon and it will be juicy, as always.

Domestic violence is exactly what megastar Rihanna was exposed to at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown, famed R&B singer in February of this year. Apparently the couple was sitting inside of Brown’s car following a pre-Grammy party and ended up in an argument which escalated into a fight. Brown had struck her multiple times and caused some serious bruises. She was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention and then was released. Later that day Brown went to the police station and confessed to beating his girlfriend and was subsequently released after posting the $50,000 bail. Weeks after the incident they were seen together again. Obviously this is a complicated relationship and we haven’t heard the end of it. Hopefully, for Rihanna’s sake she will seek more pleasant and positive male companionship in the days to come.
