More questions continue to grow about Oksana Grigorieva, who is involved in an increasingly ugly custody battle with ex Mel Gibson.

On Friday, RadarOnline reported that Gibson, 54 -- who famously spewed anti-Semitic rants during his 2006 DUI -- once allegedly told her, "I want Jew blood on my hands," referring to a high-profile Hollywood figure. He said he wanted to take the person to the desert, strip them naked, cap their knees and leave them in the heat, according to Radar.

TMZ.com reports that it heard the story was about its exec Harvey Levin, who apparently angered Gibson by breaking the news about his ugly DUI bust.

But TMZ insists that after investigating, the story had so many holes in it and proved to be "false."

Sources tell UsMagazine.com that Grigorieva's claims are a ploy for more custody — and cash. (Gibson's lawyer Stephen Kolodny tells Us the duo had reached an agreement in May that would lead to fifty-fifty custody.)

No word from reps for Grigorieva, 40, or Gibson.

But authorities are currently investigating who leaked the now-infamous damaging recordings of Gibson spewing racist comments and threatening Grigorieva to the media.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Grigorieva's sister younger sister, Natalie, may have played a key role. Several sources tell the site that she shopped around the tapes to media outlets before making the sale to Radar. Said one insider: "All the tabloids said no to the deal because they were asked to purchase the audio tapes before hearing them."

Added another, "I suspect that if the authorities look at the sister, they'll find a wire transfer or a check to her from the website. She and Oksana are very close."

If true, the Russian singer could be found in contempt of court.

Authorities are currently investigating whether or not Grigorieva tried to extort money from Gibson. In a text message, Grigorieva allegedly told Gibson that the reason she recorded him was that "you broke your agreement with me," according to THR.

TMZ also reports that Grigorieva had a civil lawsuit ready to file against Gibson in May, in the event he failed to negotiate a custody and financial deal she considered fair.

    I'm no Gibson fan because he has some series issues but what bothers me about the tapes this woman released is that she is consistently calm while Gibson rants. Who stays that calm while someone is threatening them.

    Yes

    It's amazing that words from a drunken boob like Mel Gibson gets the cattle upset, but Roman Polansky drugging and raping a 13 year and Michael Jackson buggering little boys doesn't bug the cattle herd at all.

    When are they going to arrest him? Or is this a case of Hollywood justice where the community blames the victim and gives the star a slap on the wrist? If Mel Gibson was black he would be in jail, and the woman would get soul custody of the child. This is a double standard. They have the taped evidence that he is an abuser and white women and men alike are saying they need to get along. She needs a restraining order on Mel Gibson, not co-parenting classes. AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH SENSE!!

    It is easy to look at Oksana and remember the tale of Medea who murdered her own children when betrayed. Really doubt that Mr. Gibson would harm his child and has not done so for all the years of his marriage to Robyn. But, Oksana strikes me as an angry woman capable of violent revenge when not given what she wants.

    AS a former fan of Gibson I feel he is way past time to .... SHUT TO FLOCK UP! Enough already. No way will he be able to dig himself out of the shythole he dug himself in! Get serious, this dude has serious issues and no way can he take him big ole foot outta his ugly big mouth for damage control! The public will only put up with a certain amount of manure before its hit the off switch! And Mels switch off is long overdue! roll the credits! and Mel don't let the door hit your bigot arse on your way out!! Sadly, he has shown what a pathetic vile sorry excuse for a human he really is!!!

    She is telling the truth. Mel is a racist. Everyone in Hollywood knows he is a racist and some are being paid to keep their mouths shut. Poor Mel is going to run out of money. Time to boycott the Mel Movies.

    This guy is a walking time bomb!

    Mel Gibson should be banned in Skokie, Illinois. It's a place where the Nazis march there back in 1977. Skokie has large Jewish population in Illinois. How would Skokie treat Mel?

    This is 100% believable.

    Mel is violent and a racist. It's terrible that some people are trying to make him the victim. He should be in jail.

    Geez, Mel's father did a number on him, training him to be mean, racist, sexist & hypocitical. Sad !!! I'm made cause I wanted to see that last movie he made, but u'll have to find me in a rose garden b'fore I'd watch anything he's ever done.
