Howard Bragman: ‘I Was Going To Represent’ Mel Gibson’s Girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva

Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman was going to represent Oksana Grigoriev, Mel Gibson‘s former girlfriend, who continues to be in the news after numerous recordings of Gibson allegedly screaming offensive threats and other obscenities to her were made public.

“I was going to represent her, and then I wasn’t,” Bragman told PRNewser today. “I need to be at one with my clients and their public life and we weren’t at one in this case,” he said.

Grigoriev gave an interview to tabloid RadarOnline this past Friday.

“I certainly didn’t do this one for the money, I wanted to help what I think is a battered woman,” said Bragman.
