14 DAY TRIAL // They’ve been photographed together a couple of times in the past month, and reports claim they’re definitely dating. In an interview with People magazine, Greek model Stella Mouzi denies she and Mel Gibson are an item.
As we also informed you a short while ago, word began to spread that Gibson was moving on from ex Oksana Grigorieva with Stella after they were photographed leaving a restaurant after having what looked like a romantic dinner.
Later on, they were together again, this time at an exclusive Hollywood party, with spies saying the two had taken quite a fancy on each other.
Not really, Stella says, insisting she and the controversial actor and director are nothing but good friends.
“I came to the US from Greece a few months ago and was charmed by the American hospitality. I made many new friends including Mel Gibson, with whom I share merely a friendly acquaintance,” Stella says for the aforementioned publication.
So, that’s how far her relationship with Mel goes. While on the topic, Stella also takes the time to rubbish another false report, namely that she makes a living working as a fetish model.
“I am a dancer, performance artist and a photographer – that is the extent of my professional life,” she stresses.
“It has been difficult to be the subject of false rumors, which have also been hurtful to my friends and family,” Stella adds for People.
At the same time, an unnamed but admittedly reliable source confirms her words, saying, “They’re 100% just friends.”
TMZ was the media outlet to break the story that the two were dating, as we also told you at the time. Insiders revealed that the actor was very interested in the Greek beauty and that she felt the same about him.
In fact, it was being said, she was so smitten that she was even thinking of ways to extend her visitor visa in the US, so that she and Mel could spend more time together.
