Arnold Schwarzenegger just might take the #1 spot for egotistical player extraordinaire. No, that does not serve as a compliment to his prowess! Yesterday, after posting the first blog about the split between Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, leaks of more unsavory details about his tryst with Mildred Baena (see picture above), a housekeeper on Maria's staff, broke. The son that Arnold fathered with her entered the world during the same week as Chritopher, the youngest of Schwarzenegger's children with Maria. Betrayal doesn't begin to cover the nature of his selfish act. Not only did Arnold impregnate a household employee, he did so during the same time period during which Maria Shriver got pregnant. Just imagine how she must have felt when this news went public.
Now, another woman named Gigi Goyette has retained an attorney, claiming that her first affair with Schwarzenegger occurred at the age of 16. Get this--he was 28. It doesn't stop there. She also alleges that they rekindled the affair in 1989, after he had married Maria Shriver. There's more. Goyette says that they met once a year after that, and when he ran for governor in 2003, she was paid $20,000 to maintain silence. At least he didn't father a child with her, or did he? Why is she taking legal action nafter all of these years? And--will more mistresses come forward, now that the dam has broken?
Why do men who can't keep their pants zipped marry in the first place? I'm not talking about just any man. I'm talking about men who engage in serial sexual encounters. The whole situation worsens when men have gained some variety of fame, because the hurt can't be contained forever. All of Schwarzenegger's children will suffer, but the two half-brothers will most likely bear the brunt of taunts from their peers. This should not be fodder for comedians. Nothing about this is funny. It's a tragedy that will affect the family for many years. Thank God, Maria Shriver has the kind of class that can rise above the garbage. Not so for Schwarzenegger. No apolgy for his infidelities will suffice. He's just part of the trash he created, and he has earned his new moniker The Sperminator. I don't think he'll be back any time soon.
