Some people were wondering what exactly was the dirt behind the separation of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver after 25-years of marriage, and now the world knows...
Turns out that the governator fathered a child with a household staffer some time ago. After leaving the governor's office he finally told his family about this other 10-year-old child that he had, and that was the REAL reason that Maria left Arnold.
The amazing part is that this fact was kept a secret from not just the Schwarzenegger/Shriver family and friends, but from the entire world for more than 10 years.
I mean can you imagine what Maria must feel at this point? Back when he was running for office she was the one that came to his defense against allegations of sexism and the groping female staffers.
Maria told a Republican women's group in Orange County in 2003, "You can listen to all the negativity, and you can listen to people who have never met Arnold, or who met him for five seconds 30 years ago. Or you can listen to me. I wouldn't be standing here if this man weren't an A-plus human being. I wouldn't be taking my time, I wouldn't have left my job that I love, I wouldn't be doing any of this if I didn't believe in this man."
And the whole time she was defending him, he KNEW that he had cheated on her and fathered a baby with someone who worked in their house. Someone that she probably spoke to every day. A baby that the family probably knew. A child that probably played with his kids growing up. His kids had no idea that they were actually playing with their own sibling.
And what does the governator have to say for himself at this point?
“After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused."
Sounds like we have another Jesse James/Sandy B situation going on here. Maria thought she could tame the "bad boy" and it just didn't work out. If we've learned anything from this, it's that you can't change someone. I mean it's 2011! If a guy is a cheater, he's going to cheat and it doesn't matter if you're America's sweet heart or a Kennedy...
Now, nobody is releasing the name of the staffer or her child... all we know is that she worked for the family for 20 years and retired in January. She was married at the time that she was having the affair with Arnold, claimed that the baby belonged to her husband, and is no longer married at this time. That's about all we know.
I think that the worse crime is keeping the secret from his wife and family for 10 years. I mean, if I were Maria, I would be way more pissed about that, than the actual infidelity. Having unprotected sex with one woman and then doing the same thing with his wife... Letting her defend him in public, knowing that he was a cheater and a groper. Acting like these other women and their claims of groping were lies, when they were telling the truth. The last 10 years of Maria's life have been a total and complete lie. What an incredible bummer for her.
What do you think about this new revelation? Does Arnold deserve forgiveness? Do you think he's really sorry?
