Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend demanded millions of dollars to not publicly release audio tapes of the actor's angry phone calls to her, according to reports. Oksana Grigorieva allegedly tried to extort an unspecified but substantial sum from the actor and director in order not to release the tapes, TMZ reported.
While the exact figure was not revealed it is believed to be in excess of A$11m, in order to keep the audio tapes secret.
TMZ reported the Gibson's lawyers were meeting with police to present alleged evidence of extortion against Grigorieva.
The lawyers are pushing for a criminal investigation into Grigorieva from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
In the recordings, released by entertainment website Radar Online, Gibson is heard using racist language against African-Americans and Hispanics, referring to Grigorieva as a "whore" and apparently acknowleging hitting her.
The Oscar-winning director of movies like Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ is heard shouting at Grigorieva: "You look like a f---ing pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n---ers it will be your fault."
While the tapes have not been confirmed to be genuine, Gibson has not issued a denial since they were publicly released last Friday week.
Gibson fathered a daughter with Grigorieva last October but announced their break-up in April this year.
