Oksana Grigorieva is finally talking about her ongoing, public battle with ex Mel Gibson -- the custody fight over daughter Lucia, the harrowing audio tapes and disturbing photos alleging physical abuse."I'm devastated. Everybody's devastated," Grigorieva, 40, tells Radaronline in her first extended interview since the scandal broke a few weeks ago. (The Russian musician gave a very brief comment to photographers last week.)
"I think Mel, basically, is trivializing domestic violence," she says.
"It is unfair that by standing up to somebody -- and speaking out -- I am being victimized all over again. He has hurt so many people."
Gibson hasn't publicly commented on Grigorieva's claims, but a source close to the actor insists he did not abuse her.
Once again, she denies allegations by Gibson's legal team that she attempted to extort Gibson, 54. "It is all false information he is feeding the press. It is a smear campaign," she adds.
Explaining that a court order prevents her from getting into details, she begs her ex and father to Lucia, 8 months: "Speak the truth, tell the truth, for the sake of your daughter."
