On Wednesday, Entertainment Examiner exclusively learned from sources in the know that The Tonight Show with Jay Leno may be the place where disgraced former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger may provide his first interview following the baby-mama drama that is ending Schwarzenegger's quarter-century marriage with Maria Shriver.
Jay Leno and Arnold Schwarzenegger are not only close friends, The Tonight Show is where Schwarzenegger famously announced his first bid for California governor, shocking pundits and millions of Americans in the process. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have largely avoided the spotlight since the scandal broke, Schwarzenegger will soon be forced to face the music. And softballs from Leno will likely be the safest way for the Terminator star to handle damage control.
Three weeks ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he fathered a baby with a member of his household staff, the result of which is now a failed marriage with Maria Shriver. But Maria will be okay, say the legal and financial advisers contacted by Entertainment Examiner. In fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger may soon have to adjust to life as a less-than wealthy man. That's perhaps the biggest story no one else is yet reporting.
The "Terminator" turned "Sperminator" stands to lose millions in an anticipated divorce settlement with Maria Shriver. Given California state laws and the circumstances surrounding the split, the legal system is going to heavily penalize Schwarzenegger, experts say.
For now, however, Schwarzenegger is simply worried about damage control and his sullied image.
"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in a statement following news of the scandal. "I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry."
