Maria Shriver has broken her silence and responded to the news that her estranged husband, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, fathered a child with a member of his household staff 10 years ago.
"This is a painful and heartbreaking time," said Shriver, 55. "As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment."
Tuesday's news about Schwarzenegger's indiscretion follows last week's announcement that Schwarzenegger and Shriver had separated after 25 years of marriage.
The couple have four children together, ages 14, 18, 20 and 21.
We're "kids" compared to Europe. We get all flustered over humans acting flawed and horny but it's all around us in our own lives so why act like it's horrific when a politician does it?
If that IMF idiot had chased a chambermaid in a Paris hotel the reactions would have been muted compared to doing it in NYC.
I don't condone it but I do expect it. My gripe is the family values types that get caught with none of their own and don't bash gays when you're in the closet.
