Schwarzenegger love child
2011-05-18
[Arab News] Former Caliphornia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has acknowledged that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff, a revelation that apparently prompted wife Maria Shriver to leave the couple's home before they announced their separation last week.
Turns out he was porking the maid, she got knocked up, had offspring, blamed it on her husband, and Arnold secretly supported them whilst trying to keep it from his wife. That's never happened before, of course...
Schwarzenegger and Shriver jointly announced on May 9 that they were splitting up after 25 years of marriage. Yet, Shriver moved out of the family's Brentwood mansion earlier in the year after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the child is his, The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger told the Times in a statement. "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. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

"I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time," the statement concluded. "While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not." Schwarzenegger's representatives did not comment further.

A front man for the former first lady told the Times she had no comment.

The Times did not publish the former staffer's name nor that of her child but said the woman worked for the family for 20 years and retired in January.

In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man -- her husband at the time -- was the child's father. When the Times later informed the woman of the governor's statement, she declined to comment further.
At least Maria wasn't dying of cancer.

#1  "I told Maria she had been on my staff for more than 10 years. How can she be surprised now?"

Shamelessly plagiarized Borrowed from Frank G's Tuesday comment. It just can't be improved on.
