Things are getting ugly between former couple Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva.

Russian musician Grigorieva claims that the actor has stiffed her on child support for their daughter Lucia, nearly 8 months.

"He is not paying me a penny. Nothing," Grigorieva tells British paper The Mail on Sunday. "I am having to live on credit cards and borrowed money. It is not a good situation."

Recent unconfirmed web reports claim the pair filed dueling restraining orders against one another. Not so, Grigorieva claims. "There is no restraining order against me, but my lawyers went to court and a judge granted a restraining order against him."

The singer adds angrily: "There are so many lies being said about me. I was trying to keep things dignified and be respectful to the father of my daughter, but what he is doing is cruelty."

Grigorieva declined to go into further detail about their current battle, noting, "The truth will come out eventually. There are custody issues. What is happening to me is not fair."

Gibson, 54, and Grigorieva, 40, split after a year of dating in April -- just a year after he divorced Robyn, his wife of 28 years and mother to seven of his kids. Robyn's settlement -- Gibson was worth an estimated $900 million -- was reportedly one of the most expensive in Hollywood history.

The Russian star also clarifies the nature of their split. 'He didn't dump me, I left him. I rescued my children and myself."

Gibson's rep has declined to comment on the ex-girlfriend's claims.

    The way the PC media acts you'd think she was the first woman to have ever been called a skank during an argument. Get real.

    THIS IS ALL PART OF THE ZIONIST MIND CONTROL AGENDA. THEY THINK THEY OWN AMERICA AND WE KNOW THEY OWN THE MEDIA!!!!

    Why doesn't Oksanna get a job and take care of her daughter instead of waiting on Mel to pay up. Be a real woman and do for yourself! She wanted the man so badly that she was willing to sleep with him while he was still married, then accept the fallout. Why do all these women expect to be taken care of by men? Mel is the one who did all the movies and put in all the work to make the money. Women-if you decide to sit at home and take care of the kids instead of making your own money, then all you deserve is child support. Get a job and get a life!

    I believe sometimes us woman need a good beatng to put us in check....some of us ladies get loud and try to step up to our men thats when we need to get hit! He did the right thing, so did Chris Brown

    If she's such a "star", why is she crying about money?

  • June 28, 2010 - 10:23pm susie

    maybe the eurotrash should get a job instead of trying to milk mel of money.

    Hahaha, wow this chick is after publicity. Mel KNOWS he is in the public eye, so he would NOT do anything so stupid or violent to cause a media blitz. This girl is sure wanting more than her 15 minutes. AND, can't she get a job like the rest of us if she has a kid to raise? She obviously did NOT use protection and at her age, I think she knows what causes pregnancy. She was looking for a meal ticket, what she pulled is call "entrapement", now she is not getting her way or what she wants. She pulled the same this on actor Timothy Dalton and got pregnant. Neither one of them cared to marry her after they realized what she was about. Stupid Mel, use a CONDOM the next time.

    I don't feel sorry for her. You went after a married man. Did you think he was going to be any different with you then he was with his wife of 28 years. One difference she loved him. You were looking for that big pay day in the sky and you didn't care how you got it. Incidentally, you look like a younger version of Robin. Does that tell you anything?

  • June 28, 2010 - 4:34pm Mom of Three

    I'm sorry...she wanted him in the first place because he was a player, now she's upset because he has that same power to crush her? Be careful what you wish for.

    WTF!!!! B4 their break up she was supposedly a singer, song writer and musician. How was she living a year ago. Really she doesn't have enough for the baby??? WOW I know Russian girls are gold diggers but come on to make it this obvious... Plus she has a kid from Timothy Dalton LOL is his money not enough for the 2 kids. I bet if she was on welfare she'd go shopping for herself then say she still has no money... Skank, Boz,

  • June 28, 2010 - 2:27pm me

    I wonder if Mel misses his wife now. She is a classy, private woman who NEVER spoke about their private life or tried to get publicity for anything. And if his drunken ranting was a small example of what she had to put up with, she deserves every penny of that settlement.

  • June 28, 2010 - 1:21pm Bookworm

    You have to use credit cards and borrow money? How about you just get a job you gold digging hoe? I have no sympathy for either of them. She's a s!ut trying to use him for his money and he's a moron who left his good wife for this hoe. They both deserve what they get.

    ****************I HOPE THIS FEELS GOOD FOR THE WIFE AND CHILDREN HE ABONDOND FOR THIS SKANK*************************AND PS DEAR IF HE'LL DO IT WITH YA< HE'LL DO IT TO YA!!!!!HA HA HA**************I DO FEEL SORRY FOR ALL OF HIS CHILDREN< HOW BAD THEY MUST FEEL THAT THERE DAD IS SUCH A UNCLASSY LOW LIFE LOOKING FOR A PIECE OF SKANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • June 28, 2010 - 1:05pm The Birmingham Nosey

    When they began "dating" it was said that she already had an established career as a singer/performer! PLUS, she would be receiving support from Timothy Dalton for the child of his, PLUS, I thought it was reported that Mel bought a house for her to live in. It doesn't cost any more to shelter and feed a child because it was sired by Mel Gibson-- she just CHOSE a wealthy man to have a baby with and now she wants her big bundle of money.

  • June 28, 2010 - 12:38pm Anne-Marie

    Besides the fact that she is a tramp, Mel Gibson needs to check into a mental institution. What's up with him lately. He's gone off the deep end.

  • June 28, 2010 - 12:36pm LyricsRme1

    Did I miss something in the article??!! This woman is talking about living on credit cards and borrowed money....how 'bout just getting a job? Granted Mel should support his child, but what if he worked at Speedy Burgers and didn't have the money? I'm sure she'd get a job then.

  • June 28, 2010 - 12:22pm just sayin2

    can you say BIG settlement?? in English its the same thing.. MONEY..

  • June 28, 2010 - 11:01am your name

    strange to see how many people think that man should not pay any child support. Indeed, she must not ask for nothing, but work three jobs to support HIS child, and he will enjoy his billion dollars - how nice that would be ... for Mel.

  • June 28, 2010 - 10:55am sharon

    As a dad he should support the kids..that about it..he shouldn't give her money to have a lavish lifestyle.she don't deserve it..his ex wife deserve every penny coming to her
