Mel Gibson Dumping U.S. Homes, Moving To Australia With Ex-Wife
Tweet
Mel Gibson is poised to quit the US after selling his mansion near New York.
The disgraced Lethal Weapon star, who faces allegations of violence from his Russian former girlfriend, sold the mock Tudor property, known as Old Mill Farm, for £16 million – £10 million less than the asking price.
Gibson has also put his Malibu home, Lavender Hill Farm, on the market for £10 million, according to a property newsletter.
He has told friends that he will move back to his native Australia with his ex-wife Robyn, who still supports him.
Gibson, 54, is ready to contest the allegations of Oksana Grigorieva, 40, who claims he punched her and hurt their baby, Lucia, in a drunken rage in January.
A source close to the family said: ‘Oksana’s allegations have united Mel and Robyn and this move is her idea.
‘She is shocked and furious at this woman’s lies and their seven children are shocked.
‘Robyn has never seen a violent side to him.
‘She has persuaded him that he needs to get away from Hollywood and find peace on his ranch and she will go with him along with some of the children.’
A friend of Miss Grigorieva said: ‘Oksana has done nothing but tell the truth.’
Gibson and Robyn divorced last year just weeks after he was pictured for the first time with Miss Grigorieva.
A spokesman for Gibson declined to comment.
