Oksana Says Goodbye to Important Witness

TMZ has learned … Oksana Grigorieva is currently attending funeral services for a close friend of hers  … a friend who also happened to babysit for Oksana and Mel Gibson’s daughter Lucia … and may have had some critical information about Mel.

As we previously reported, the babysitter had claimed that she was at Mel’s home on January 6th — and allegedly heard the actor go crazy while Oksana was at her son’s basketball game.

The woman — who died after battling cancer — claimed to have heard part of the explosive argument between Mel and Oksana later that day, but claims she left before any alleged blows were struck.

And … we’re told the babysitter never gave a sworn statement to police or the lawyers regarding the incident … because she claimed she was sick and had other things on her mind.

Mel’s Babysitter: He Freaked Out Before Fight

Sources tell TMZ the babysitter for Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva was front and center for the beginning of the now-famous January 6 blowup.

In the hours before the incident Oksana went to a basketball game, leaving Mel, baby Lucia and the babysitter at Mel’s Malibu home.

According to sources connected with the case, the babysitter says Mel “began freaking out” while Oksana was gone, “slamming doors, cussing and screaming at someone on the phone.”  The babysitter says Mel was screaming to someone on the phone, “I want to f**king destroy you.”

We’re told the babysitter called Oksana and urged her to come home because Mel was losing it.  The babysitter claims, “Mel was possessed and completely out of control.”

Sources say the babysitter was present when Oksana returned home but left before anything physical occurred.

Other sources, however, question the babysitter’s claims, because they say she never previously made any such allegations.

People connected with the babysitter tell us she didn’t come forward with her story because she’s fearful of Mel and is fighting stage 4 cancer and undergoing chemo.
