Estranged ex wants Mel Gibson to pay PR bill

Oksana Grigorieva wants Mel Gibson to pay for her publicist.

The Russian singer, who is currently engaged in a custody battle with Gibson over their 10-month-old daughter Lucia, is allegedly seeking $84 000 from the Braveheart actor to pay for PR services to clean up her image after she released secret tapes of arguments between the pair.

Oksana is reported to be asking Judge Scott Gordon to clear the debt she has ensued from the expensive public relations team.

However, according to gossip website TMZ, the judge would “never” award the money for PR alone, and would only adjust the current agreement existing between the two in the needs of baby Lucia.

The 40-year-old beauty’s lawyers have already gone to court to ask the judge to up Mel’s monthly payments to $40 000, though the actor reportedly wants to pay just $6 000 a month.

Mel's lawyers insist some of Oksana's requests, such as payment for her bodyguards, are unnecessary as Lucia is still just a baby.
