Mel Gibson Had Annulment Of Marriage To Robyn & Plans Christmas Wedding To Oksana!
Posted on July 30, 2009
Mel Gibson was married to estranged wife Robyn for 29 years and they have seven children together. But Mel reportedly wants his marriage annulled so he can marry his pregnant mistress this Christmas. Read more on this story below.
Actor Mel Gibson is said to want to marry his girlfriend in a Christmas ceremony. Insiders say Mel may have pulled some strings at his family-owned breakaway Catholic church, to arrange a secret anullment of the marriage.
The National Enquirer is reporting that he did, in the hopes that the annulment would eventually be recognized by the Catholic church.
The Enquirer stated that the annulment was approved by Gibson’s breakaway Catholic congregation, and it isn’t officially recognized by the Catholic church.
But despite the annulment not being recognized by the Catholic Church, Gibson, 53, is planning to marry his pregnant girlfriend, Oksana, 39.
Catholic Bishops denied Mel’s request for an annulment but his father, Hutton, 90, led a tribunal that annulled the marriage, a family insider revealed.
The tribunal was attended by loyal congregation members of Gibson’s private, independent church, the Holy Family Chapel in Malibu, about a month after Robyn filed for divorce.
Hutton Gibson presided over the hearing and granted his son’s annulment request after Mel presented “evidence†that the union was never a true marriage, even though he married Robyn in a Catholic ceremony in Australia in 1980.
“Especially important was Mel’s description of how he felt pressured into the marriage in the first place because Robyn was pregnant,†maintained the family insider. “Those feelings indicated to Hutton that it couldn’t be a true marriage, and so he felt it must be invalid.
“After the discussion ended, Hutton pounded his fist on the table and said, ‘It is clear that this union did not have what it takes to be a true marriage!’â€
“The annulment is being kept secret, but Mel hopes that some of the Bishops he has recently befriended can be persuaded to give him an official Catholic annulment.â€
The Enquirer reported:
It must be nice to have friends in high places- specifically, your religious zealot of a daddy. I find it very hard to believe that a real Catholic Bishop would grant an annulment of a 29-year marriage, regardless of how it started. But then again, several high-profile Catholics have managed to win annulments of decades-long marriages. The Kennedy family has spawned a few, including the most famous one in which Joe Kennedy won his bid for annulment against ex-wife Sheila Raunch Kennedy, who wrote about it bitterly in “Shattered Faith.†Though it’s never been confirmed, Ted Kennedy is also believed to have been granted one in his marriage to Joan Kennedy – he’s since been seen taking communion, which is a big no-no for divorced Catholics unless they’ve had an annulment. Mel does seem to have a way of getting what he wants – if he does end up marrying his mistress in a Catholic church, we will have our answer.

Its a fake and a bogus, that article was first printed in gossip for fun, and has no truth in it.
Look th eopriginal that under the pseudo quote of the national enquier say: “10. august 2009 natioanl enquirer printed edition” scuse me but thats in 11 days form now and there is no print edition of th enational enquier for the 10th of august.
the alone edition printed si the one the printed this wendesday and who came out today…
so…
its an hoax.
Sorry guys just as oyu were getting all hot about it.
I CALL THE BLUFF ON THIS STORY
watch out the date, its says “national enquierer ptrinted edition of the 10 august 2009..
eemm scuse me but htat sin 11 days and there is no print edition of that edition that exist yet os thats bs as usual.
Its taken form a site cll “gossip” and who undrline that what they say i sjsut for fun so dont buy it.
That news is a fake.
I do not think the Hutton will have ever granted an annuleent les than amonth after hsi divorce and if é ahd one in may he will ahve told so at jay leno to jsutify his sins and clean the slut.
No way its true.
in worse he stayed away from ehr all july and we can see on the pictures taken of her last night that she isnt even pregy.
lok at the pic of he rpublised on hollywooscope , where she is stittign between Mel and another guy, with her dress all set up to her croch, showing her legs up to the panty and showing pending boobs too, and a totaly flat stomach.. at 7 month in the pregnancy that sounds very suspect… or a faked pregnancy.
Or maybe she get an abortion after hearing how Mel got his annulement? LOLOLOL
Under all circumstances this doesnt make sense since Mel himself said he wont marry her even when he thougth she was pregy, so why should he do it now?

Holy Family Chapel is off the wall in some of the stuff that goes on there…many of the women there openly spread a devotion to St Martha, called the Dominator Prayer. Google it! This is a Voo-Doo prayer, occult , satanic, which is used to “control your enemiesâ€. It is quite popular, and many of the women who attend Holy Family Chapel say it every week on Tuesday. STRANGE stuff going on there! Hardly surprising that Hutton would think he has the authority to annull a marriage! SHEESH!

Why is mel wishing to marry again because his newly intended is pregnant , and he has wanted his first marriage annuled with the reason his first marriage was invalid due to the fact that his first wife Robyn was pregnant with their first child at the time of their marriage?
Mel,Your marriage went on to produce 6 more healthy children.
You validated your marriage repeatedly.
Be honest about this important issue to yourself,your first wife and family and your future wife ,as you will be influential in forming a lot of people’s opinions who are not fully informed of the true teaching of the church I believe you care very much about ,but can’t comply with at the moment for some reason/s.
You can’t just create a self-styled, individualized
Breakaway “Catholic” version of the Catholic Church??? Get Real!!!
Who is Mel? A new-age, self-appointed,King Henry 8th of England?

If Mel’s marriage is annulled does that mean his eight kids are bastards?
As well as being a racist, a drunk, a homophobe and an antisemitic – Mel is also a nut.
His new marriage wont last. He’ll beat the crap out of her when he is drunk.

People are mistaken about annulments. As usual, society knows nothing about the workings of the Catholic Church.
YES, a decades-long “marriage” can be annulled if it is found, after interviews and intense investigation, that something essential was lacking at the time of the ceremony, no matter how many children came from the marriage. These essential things could include: mental illness; a grave lack of understanding about the true nature of marriage and what its purposes are; lying about one’s age; lying about one’s religious beliefs; having divorce in mind as a “plan B”, etc. These are very valid reasons for a Catholic annulment, just as they would be valid reasons for a civil annulment.
NO, the children of such a union are not illegitimate. That is a legal term that carries only civil importance, not religious. The children are loved and recognized by the Church, and they are not illegitimate because the couple was at least married in the eyes of the law, though not in the eyes of the Church. Nevertheless, such children would have to learn about this in order not to feel rejected. It’s hard on them.
This is not a divorce; it means that there was never a true, valid marriage in the first place. If you walk down the aisle thinking to yourself, “If it doesn’t work, there’s always divorce,” you are definitely not married, as marriage is for life and the vows would be a lie in that case.
Until an annulment is granted (it is NOT always granted, by the way, if it is determined that the marriage was truly valid), the couple is still considered married until proven otherwise.
That being said, I think what Mel Gibson is doing is beyond discouraging. I liked the Passion, but I never admired his personal beliefs about the Catholic Church because he is disobedient and appears to be a zealot, and now he is apparently committing adultery. He’s made his own little church all for himself, and that’s never a good thing because it becomes a cult.
I don’t agree with what he’s doing, but I wanted to clarify about annulments, perhaps one of the most misunderstood procedures in Church dealings. Yes, there are abuses of annulments, but not in all cases.

And I might add that if this story is true, Mel Gibson’s father obviously has no authority whatsoever to grant annulments. That belongs to the Catholic Church and its tribunals alone.
