Mel Gibson ‘warned’ ex-lover about his ‘dark side’

LONDON - Oksana Grigorieva has revealed that ex Mel Gibson warned her about his “dark side” at the beginning of their romance.

“At the beginning of our relationship he did say, ‘There is a dark side of me I don’t want you to ever see… because it will destroy us’,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying on CNN news show Larry King Live.

“When I became pregnant I felt like he had me… He had complete control over me (and) he started to show his true self,” she said.

Oksana Grigorieva claims she quizzed Gibson about his alleged bad temper and his 2006 DUI arrest, during which he hurled anti-Semitic abuse at a Jewish traffic cop, and he told her he had been set up.

“He said he was nothing like that: ‘Look, everybody who works for me is Jewish…’ He said that there was even an actor, who they recorded… who sounded like him… He pretty much denied everything,” the Russian singer said.

The singer is now fighting Gibson for custody of their baby daughter Lucia, claiming her ex is a danger to the tot.

Grigorieva has previously claimed Gibson attacked her while she was holding their baby.

Taped phone conversations allegedly featuring an angry Gibson raging at his ex have been leaked to the media. (ANI)
