"Team&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/oksana-grigorieva/\"&gt;Oksana Grigorieva&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;lied to TMZ when they denied she had an intimate relationship with her former bodyguard ... at least according to several emails between the bodyguard and Oksana's lawyer.&amp;#160; But Oksana's lawyers say there's more to the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Oksana bodyguard: \" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/11/09/1109-bodyguard-oksana-tmz-ex-4-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TMZ &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/10/20/oksana-grigorievas-bodyguard-kristian-herzog-tell-all-book-intimate-relationship-mel-gibson/\"&gt;broke the story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; .... &lt;strong&gt;Kristian Herzog&lt;/strong&gt; -- who has served time in jail for impersonating a cop -- claimed to have been in an intimate relationship with Oksana that began in May. Oksana's lawyer,&lt;strong&gt; Dan Horowitz&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/10/21/oksana-grigorieva-daniel-horowitz-kristan-herzog-sex-relations-tell-all-book-lucia/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;told TMZ last month&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -- with Oksana looking on -- Herzog's claim was \"ridiculous\".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But TMZ has obtained an email Herzog sent to &lt;strong&gt;Martin Garbus&lt;/strong&gt;, another one of Oksana's lawyers, on November 6. The email reads: \"Martin: Do you agree that Team Oksana at some point, needs to admit Oksana and Dan LIED to TMZ and you need to tell TMZ the truth that in fact Oksana and I were intimate?\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, Garbus responded with one word: \"Yes.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan Horowitz explains the emails this way: \"Marty's job was to placate Kris, because once he got cut out of Oksana's world completely, we assessed him to be a clear and present danger to her life. By stringing him along and making him feel important, we hoped that he would just fade away rather than explode and hurt somebody.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ has also obtained photos (&lt;em&gt;above&lt;/em&gt;) showing Oksana in a nightgown, sitting on a bed with Herzog at her home. But Horowitz tells us the pictures were taken during a PEOPLE magazine photo shoot and were in no way intimate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge in the custody case issued a restraining order against Herzog last month, concluding he was a danger to Lucia and prohibiting him from going near her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
