Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger recently addressed the love child he fathered with his maid in Netflix docuseries titled ‘Arnold’.
Arnold Schwarzenegger addressed accusations of misconduct that have been hanging over him for 20 years in his recently released Netflix docuseries.
Speaking about it, he said, “My reaction in the beginning, I was kind of defensive.” He said that in hindsight he can recognize he was wrong. “Forget all the excuses,” he said.
His docuseries ‘Arnold’ is about his life as an actor, bodybuilder, and politician’s life, from his early life in Austria to his rise to superstardom to his roles in ‘The Terminator’, ‘Twins’, and ‘True Lies’.
The docuseries also features the secret son the actor fathered with his housekeeper while married to Maria Shriver, as well as the claims that he groped and humiliated several women in separate incidents across three decades.

Days before he was elected governor of California in 2003, the Los Angeles Times published a report in which six women accused Schwarzenegger of touching them in a sexual manner without their consent.
In archival footage from his campaign trail interviews, the FUBAR actor can be seen calling the report made up and declared that he never grabbed anyone or pulled up their shirt or grabbed their breasts.
Now, looking back on the scandal two decades later, Schwarzenegger expanded his apology in a to-camera interview in the Netflix documentary, admitting that his past behavior was ‘wrong’.
“My reaction in the beginning, I was kind of defensive,” he said while reflecting on his previous statements. “Today, I can look at it and kind of say, it doesn’t really matter what time it is.”
He said, “If it’s the Muscle Beach days or 40 years ago, or today, that this was wrong.” “It was bullshit,” he added. “Forget all the excuses, it was wrong.”
