Los Angeles:
Hollywood star Mel Gibson's head line grabbing feud with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has taken a new turn with her father alleging that the actor's friends used to solicit prostitutes for him.
Petr Chernukha, 66, said that the Academy winning actor's friends wanted to end his relationship with the Russian beauty and often sent prostitutes to his home and office.
"They brought prostitutes for Mel to his office and even to their house when Oksana was away," said Chernukha. He also alleged that the Brave Heart star hit Grigorieva's 12-year-old son Alexander, whose father is Bond star Timothy Dalton.
"Mel was openly jealous of Oksana's attention to her son. He hated Alexander and even hit him once. After that Oksana did her best to avoid them being together," he said.
Chernukha's allegations come as authorities investigate counter-claims that 40-year-old Grigorieva tried to extort cash from Gibson. A child custody dispute between the pair is also under way in court over their seven-month-old daughter Lucia.
Los Angeles cops opened a domestic violence probe against the 54-year-old actor after Grigorieva taped him allegedly threatening her. Officials have not decided whether to charge him.
