Women Say Schwarzenegger Groped, Humiliated Them

[Sequoia]

(If this is a dupe, be my guest. Finally the word is out! Thank you Los Angeles Times. And you know, this is all true as the UK Guardian mentioned this sometime back also. But we all know that here.)


Six women who came into contact with Arnold Schwarzenegger on movie sets, in studio offices and in other settings over the last three decades say he touched them in a sexual manner without their consent.

In interviews with The Times, three of the women described their surprise and discomfort when Schwarzenegger grabbed their breasts. A fourth said he reached under her skirt and gripped her buttocks.

A fifth woman said Schwarzenegger groped her and tried to remove her bathing suit in a hotel elevator. A sixth said Schwarzenegger pulled her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been performed on her.

According to the women's accounts, one of the incidents occurred in the 1970s, two in the 1980s, two in the 1990s and one in 2000.

"Did he rape me? No," said one woman, who described a 1980 encounter in which she said Schwarzenegger touched her breast. "Did he humiliate me? You bet he did."

Schwarzenegger said: "Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie
sets and I have done things that were not right which I thought
then was playful but now I recognize that I offended people."
He went on to say: "Those people that I have offended, I want
to say to them I am deeply sorry about that and I apologize because
that's not what I'm trying to do." Schwarzenegger added that from this point on he will prove he is a "champion for women."


Liar. He'll never change. Rowdy, eh? He'll never, ever be a champion for women.

1. Well it is a dupe but I wouldn't mind if it were every story on the

front page of every paper.

Oh and don't forget to read the story of how he plans to govern by ballot initiative if he can't get his programs passed in the assmbly and senate. Perhaps voters need to realize the legal challenges to THIS form of geverning are one of the single biggest fund wasters in any state.
