Lets put to bed some of the non issues in regards to Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret baby.
The woman Arnold apparently had an affair with is apparently not as pretty as Maria Shriver. Who cares! It is completely irrelevant how pretty the person Arnold allegedly had an affair with, is, or was.
Other celebrities and politicians have had babies out of wedlock.The difference appears to be not only the length of time that has elapsed has been a decade or longer, it's also that Arnold got to choose when to expose the secret. Arnold waited until AFTER he served his entire 8 year term as governor, so trying to say it's like other out of wedlock situations is not really accurate.
So what are some of the more germane issues?
The biggest one for me is if Arnold Schwarzenegger truly kept the pregnancy and the child a secret from Maria Shriver, while also allowing the person he allegedly had the affair with to keep working within the Schwarzenegger household for the next decade, he potentially endangered Maria Shriver's life.
Yes, Maria Shriver was at the mercy of a woman who could have snapped at any time over her desire for her son to have a real dad. The whole time that Shriver's rival was sizing her up in Shriver's home, Shriver didn't know there was a rivalry, and that is beyond deplorable.
In my opinion it's criminal behavior on Schwarzenegger's part to allow a secret love interest to actually prepare meals for Shriver, to possibly even have access to prescriptions as well. It also shows horribly bad, and ultra narcissistic behavior on Schwarzenegger's part if he never even considered that his wife could be in danger.
The second issue for me is that Arnold got to share his secret with the world on his own terms when he wasn't the only one that was affected. I think Arnold's calculating narcissism has already backfired on him. The fact that Arnold retained such control for so long might result in those who knew him, including political allies, friends, family and even fans, feeling trivialized.
