The mistress of Arnold Schwarzenegger has gone to the press to tell her side of her affair with the former California governor. But her sugar-coated account of what went down may backfire on her. Was it wrong for Mildred Baena to kiss and tell before we've heard a peep from Maria?
Baena, who goes by the name Patty, gave Hello Magazine all the sordid details, making Maria Shriver's revelation of her husband's affair sound like it was a therapy session for the one time housekeeper!
The article includes a photo of mom and her 13-year old son, Joseph (and yes, he looks like Arnie!)
But because Baena claims she wasn't paid a dime for the tell-all, one has to wonder why she did it.
According to the article, Maria Shriver's revelation that her husband had a mini-me resulted in her comforting Patty in an impromptu therapy session '" and even asking her to stay on as the family housekeeper.
Baena claims that it was Shriver who put the pieces of the paternity puzzle together, saying that Shriver eventually asked her point blank if her husband was the father of Joseph when it became obvious that the child resembled Schwarzenegger.
"Maria asked me directly if Joseph was Arnold's son, and I just broke down. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, saying that yes he was and I was so sorry. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees." Baena said.
Baena also said that she offered to pack up and leave the family home immediately, but that Shriver asked her to stay until after the holidays.
And in what could be construed as a slap in the face for Shriver, Baena also said, "I told her it wasn't Arnie's fault. It takes two."
Which two was she talking about? Her and Arnie? Or was she justifying Arnie's cheating ways by implying that his wife should share part of the blame?
Although Baena surprisingly claims she never directly told Schwarzenegger that he was the father of her child, when told that the "Terminator" star was his dad, Baena's son ( who is clearly a young man of few words), reportedly said, "Cool."
But perhaps the strangest part of the story is Baena stating how much she loves and respects Shriver and how much Arnold is suffering, saying, "I hope with time they work things out."
Out of respect for Shriver, Baena would have done better if she had kept her story to herself'"and kept mum with the well wishes.
Baena claims she wanted to get her side of the story out there because so many lies have been printed about her. But her account of what went down with Maria sounds a little too kumbaya'"unless Maria is looking for saint canonization someday!
As for Baena's goal in this whole mess-- to tell the truth? Guess better late than never.
