London, July 15 (IANS) Mel Gibson’s lawyers are seeking to hold his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in contempt of court after accusing her of violating a restraining order by leaking secret audio tapes of his now-infamous rants to the press.
The attorneys filed papers in a Los Angeles court this week blaming Grigorieva for the tapes going public, thereby breaking the terms of a restraining order the actor obtained against her which bans her from speaking about her volatile relationship with Gibson, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Till now four clips of secretly taped telephone conversations have surfaced, purportedly featuring the ‘Braveheart’ star ranting at the Russian singer using racially offensive and abusive language.
In one recording, a man, who sounds distinctively like Gibson, appears to admit to beating the woman. The male goes on to threaten more violence – even hinting at killing the female.
The latest recording appears to feature Gibson threatening arson and demanding oral sex ‘I’ll burn the g**damn house up, but b**w me first! How dare you!’
The tapes emerged days after Grigorieva accused Gibson of hitting her during heated arguments before they split earlier this year.
