Five days before the 2003 California gubernatorial election, the Los Angeles Times published an investigation in which six women accused the Terminator actor of humiliating and groping them. A total of 15 women highlighted the touches on his part.
At the time, the actor denied the allegations, saying they were “made up” and that he “never groped anyone.”
However, he did admit that he “behaved badly at times.”
In his documentary Arnold, the former bodybuilder addressed the scandal, saying: “At first I was a bit defensive. Now I can face things and tell myself that era doesn’t really matter. Whether in the days of Muscle Beach [NDLR: berceau de la forme physique à Venice, Los Angeles]It wasn’t good 40 years ago or today. It was bullshit. Forget all the excuses I could think of, it was wrong.
Despite these allegations, Arnold Schwarzenegger won the election. From 2003 to 2011 he was the 38th governor of California.
“I was surprised that there were no further consequences for the election. I thought there were more outraged people,” Los Angeles Times reporter Carla Hall, who was behind the case at the time, said in the documentary, according to Rolling Stone.
► The three-part documentary will begin streaming on Netflix on June 7th.
