Mel Gibson Ends Love War with Settlement Agreement
Los Angeles — After more than a year of sparring, the bitter dispute between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva, his former girlfriend, has already been settled but Mel Gibson’s reputation was badly tainted and damaged. Gibson, recipient of the Academy Award, and Grigorieva, Russian musician, ended their dispute that worsened into becoming a criminal case, through a custody and financial settlement.
The terms and conditions of the agreed settlement between the two parties have already been finalized pending announcement in court, to be formally announced through a hearing this coming Wednesday. The controversial issue about the custody of the couple’s baby daughter will be discussed in a closed session as announced by the court.
Alan Nierob, spokesperson of Gibson, has confirmed that there was indeed a settlement and Gibson appreciated so much the help and legal assistance of the judge in mediating the dispute. On the other hand, Stephen Jaffe, Grigorieva’s spokesperson, chose not to comment further on the issue.
The court proceedings of the long standing dispute them the two parties had already started for more than a year and it was secretly unknown to the public. Gibson through his attorney, Stephen Kolodny, said that his client has been a very good provider for his former girlfriend with a financial support that included tens of thousands of dollars per month and a 4 bedroom and multi-million dollar home.
