She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees.

Today, Hello Mag published the first interview with Guatemalan housekeeper Mildred Baena, the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son. The above is, according to Baena, Maria Shriver’s reaction upon hearing from the woman that Schwarzenegger was the father of her child.

Both women had been pregnant by the same man at the same time. One, organizing cocktail parties in the household; the other, a Guatemalan immigrant, cleaning the same home. Is it any surprise that the maid would be on her knees somewhat asking for “forgiveness”? This is awful on so many levels.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
