Oksana Sources: Mel's Avoiding Deposition

Sources connected with Oksana Grigorieva tell TMZ Mel Gibson is going to great lengths to avoid sitting for his deposition.

The sources believe Mel does not want his deposition taken before the L.A. County District Attorney makes a decision on whether to prosecute the actor for domestic violence. Mel will almost certainly take the 5th on most, if not all, of the events surrounding the January 6 blowout

But the Oksana sources say taking the 5th could have implications in the family law case.  They say they scheduled the depo more than two weeks ago, only to be told last week ... Mel was going out of the country on a fishing trip.

But other sources dispute the claim that Mel is intentionally avoiding his depo.  They say Mel is coming back to L.A. this weekend and the deposition should take place in a week or so ... long before the D.A. makes a decision.

Does something like this surprise me? NO!

Of course Oksana's 'sources' are going to say something like this.

I believe the course of events is that the sheriff's department hands off their investigative report and evidence to the DA. The DA reviews the evidence, and talks to witnesses to find out more about the case and get a feel for the case. Then the DA determines if there is enough evidence to prosecute. If not, then the DA drops the case. If and only then that the DA decides there is a case to prosecute then depositions would be forthcoming. BUT--we have not even gotten that far, and already Oksana is trying to put some scare into this pubilicy-tried media circus by stating that Mel is worried about going before the DA to give a depostion. I don't think so! I would bet money that Mel is quite ready.

Oksana is the one who should be scared. And if her feelings were bruised in depositions last week, then I've got news for her. She's in for another round with that office!

And there is nothing strange about depositions being rescheduled.

Of course he's trying to avoid it! Look what happened to Charlie Sheen when he delayed his court date, he got off scott free! Mel probably hopes that will happen to him too.

Sam...the DA doesn't even have the case yet! There has been no decision by the DA on the course of action.
No course of action = no depostions.

i think blowsana is just getting nervous due to the commenters on here getting more and more true and damaging information about her past and posting it for all to see.
her attempts at covering up her past treacheries are falling apart and before long she is going to start having the hersheysquirts when the court is in session

And let's not forget that Ms. Oksana was a no-show on one of her scheduled depositions. What about that? Poor thing didn't like being harassed in the deposition the day before so she decided to take a mental health day!

This type of story is going to appear daily from Oksana's camp. The only thing that really matters is what the Court decides in a few weeks. By the way, Oksana's staff had Mel's schedule over a month ago.

For those interested in Oksana's past, this is a must read:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1176755/Oksana-Grigorievas-road-Mel-From-Russian-poverty-Hollywood-royalty-embittered-British-husband-Bond-actor.html

This article was written early last year. It covers people who were closest to Oksana, both in Russia and England, and is very detailed. It covers a period from Junior High up to meeting Mel Gibson.

The only thing missing is her time with Music Mogel David Foster [immediately after she left Timothy Dalton and just before she met Mel Gibson] whom she dropped after discovering he couldn't have children.

It's not as if she called the police immediately on day it happened & pressed charges the same day. She waited this long to bring charges, so what if it takes a few more weeks to get his deposition.

Michael...that's exactly it--what the Court decides is what matters.

Thanks for sharing the link for the article.

Now something I did not know was that David Foster could not father children. Isn't that an interesting tidbit. So, if she were looking for a meal ticket via a child then he would have been defective. He had the money, name, status, and music mogul pieces, but not the meal ticket baby.

Google....exactly, there was no sense of urgnecy, was there?

AND we do not know if a deposition will be taken.

Her camp is trying to put the cart before the horse. It does not work that way in our judicial system.

wondering...Mel must have been blinded by this woman. I can understand wanting a better life for yourself, or following your dreams, or even seeking financial security...there is nothing wrong with that. It is wrong to mislead people and use them. It is wrong to destroy others in your path because of your greed.
