What a Hot Mess: The Ultimate Betrayal

Things just keep getting worse for Maria Shriver, doesn't it?  First, she goes through the heartache and pain of losing her mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of President Kennedy, a little over a year ago.  A year later, in January of this year, she sadly goes through her father, Sargent Shriver's death.  And, in the same month, learns of her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger's infidelity.  But it doesn't end there... 

Last week, the famous couple separated, because he screwed the housekeeper who's worked for them 25 years!  Come to find out, there's a lovechild!

Seriously?  What made him cheat on his beautiful wife, with this person, Mildred Patricia Baena, who ABC revealed on television this morning?

I've been cheated on before, but this is beyond pathetic.  I feel so sorry for Maria, because this just keeps getting worse for her.  Can you imagine finding out you lived in a home for the past 10 years with a person who's had a child with your wife or husband? And you didn't know a thing about it?  I cannot think of a more horrible deception.  What's even more sickening, is the fact that Maria was pregnant with one of their boys while this woman lived in their home.  The least he could have done was paid her to go away, instead he chose to have this woman interact with his wife and kids over the holidays, birthdays, and other special events.  This, I feel, is far worse than the affair itself.

You know, I followed the election of Governor Schwarzenegger, because he was a famous actor who was married to a famous Kennedy.  But I remember vividly, the allegations that were pouring in from several women stating he had groped them, allegations that he so vehemently denied.  This is just one huge, Hot Mess!

I'm sorry, I do feel bad for the 14 year old boy who is learning all of this at the same time we are, and it's getting uglier everyday.  Lord watch over him, because it isn't his fault, and I have no idea what it feels like to have your parents being criticized online.  I hope he finds solace in knowing that his Dad, while wrong, took care of him, and didn't leave his side.
