>Gibson pleaded no contest to the charge of misdemeanor battery (saving him jail time), originally agreeing to a custody settlement of $15 million—if Grigorieva vowed not to release damning audiotapes of the director
>However, six months later, Grigorieva went to authorities and said the actor had punched her as well as threatened her and Lucia with a gun
>after a year of back and forth, the former couple eventually settled on $750,000. Gibson had agreed to pay Grigorieva in three installments—$250,000 after the releases were signed, another $250,000 by September 2013 and a final installment by September 2016
>Gibson has already paid her one of the $250,000 installments, but since his ex spoke out about the allegations against him in the interview with Stern, the California Court of Appeals ruled that Gibson won't have to pay her the remaining $500,000, the documents state
>Thus, Grigorieva will only receive 1/60 of the original $15 million deal
