HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Mel Gibson's friends were reportedly so eager to end his relationship with Oksana Grigorieva that they frequently sent him prostitutes.
The Russian singer's father, Petr Chernukha, claims the Oscar winner's circle of friends were "irritated" by his relationship with Grigorieva and hoped the prostitutes would spark a split.
"They brought prostitutes for Mel to his office and even to their house when Oksana was away," the 66-year-old Chernukha tells The Sun newspaper.
Chernukha also discussed the ongoing domestic violence investigation in which Gibson is accused of attacking his former girlfriend. He claims Gibson pushed Grigorieva while she was holding their 10-month-old daughter Lucia and also tossed a chair through a glass door.
The father also claims that Gibson hit Grigorieva's 12-year-old son Alexander, her child with actor Timothy Dalton.
"Mel was openly jealous of Oksana's attention to her son," he told the publication. "He hated Alexander and even hit him once. After that Oksana did her best to avoid them being together."
Gibson and Grigorieva have been locked in a bitter custody battle over Lucia ever since they split in April after a year of dating.
