So Maria Shriver, you may have seen her on our little media tour. She has a new book out, which I finally bought. I was having trouble bringing myself to put money in her pocket, but it's for a greater good. So this is the book. It's called I Am Maria, Maria Shriver, number one New York Times bestselling author.

Who is Maria Shriver and what controversies surround her?

Maureen Callahan 1:12
And in fact, to my great dismay, I saw in this weekend's book review, it has debuted at number one on the New York Times list. And that was the inciting event. I said, I've got to talk to you guys about this, and we've got to take it apart. So, you know, Maria Shriver... I'm gonna give you my blanket objections to her, and then we can go in and really dig in piece by piece. Maria Shriver has newly reinvented herself, I'm gonna say over the past decade, as a real Christian woman of faith. whose difficulties in life now have imbued her with so much wisdom and experience that her job is now to teach all of us how to become better people and really self-actualized, again, whatever that means, but this is the garbage language that we are infected with in this current culture. Maria Shriver, and this loops into this new book,

Her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, the mega movie star of the 80s, there was nobody bigger, maybe Sly Stallone, he had an affair. I'm going to say actually a relationship because it went on for about 10 years with the Schwarzenegger slash Shriver household maid. That affair resulted in a child. who was kept a secret for about 10 to 15 years. This child spent a lot of time in Arnold and Maria's home among Arnold and Maria's four children, one of whom, Patrick Schwarzenegger, starred in the White Lotus. For my money, by the way, one of the best performances on the whole show. Oh, I also saw Jason Isaacs at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Very small guy, like shorter than I am. I'm 5'7". He was like maybe 5'5", and like real thin.

But anyway, So the kids grow up with this other child in their home often, and this child, we're going to show you a picture of him, is the spitting image of Arnold Schwarzenegger, okay? So Maria Shriver would have us believe that the wool was pulled over her eyes for about 15 years, that she had no idea that this could have been a child fathered by her own husband, who, by the way, open secret in Hollywood. I remember reading about this as a kid in like Premier Magazine and Movieline Magazine. This was back when magazines really mattered and they like really delivered the goods. And it was reported often in there, not only that Arnold was a serial womanizer, but that he was really creepy with women on sets and way too handsy. And he definitely would have been me too'd. You're telling me that if I'm like a kid in suburban Long Island and I know about this, that Maria Shriver doesn't know about it? Not buying it.

Maria Shriver doesn't know that this kid who's a carbon copy of her distinct looking husband with a jaw that like, come on. You don't, okay, fine, whatever. The story breaks. Maria, shocked, taking to her bed, her fainting couch. Can't believe it. By the way, she grew up a Kennedy, okay? This is what these men do. They treat their women like shit. They have affairs. They sire other kids.
