ACTOR Mel Gibson will pay the mother of his 22-month-old daughter US$750,000 and get joint custody of the child, ending a bitter custody and financial dispute that badly damaged his Hollywood career.
The "Braveheart" director and his former musician girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva agreed to a settlement detailed in a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing yesterday following a more than year-long war of words.
Judge Peter Lichtman banned both Gibson and Grigorieva from writing books about their relationship, which unraveled in early 2010 amid accusations of violence and extortion.
"I would like to thank your honor for bringing this matter to a reasonable conclusion," Gibson told Lichtman at yesterday's hearing.
Grigorieva, who had been seeking millions of dollars from the Oscar-winning actor, thanked Lichtman for "the tremendous help to resolve this situation."
The acrimony between the couple became public a year ago when taped phone calls were leaked online in which Gibson was heard ranting, cursing and insulting Grigorieva.
