Schwarzenegger Had Sex With 16 Year Old Girl, Hush Money Paid

Edited on Mon Oct-16-06 02:40 PM by Dems Will Win

Old story but one with new legs now that the Foley Scandal has been uncovered. The GOP has ANOTHER Child Predator...

Here's the sequence of events to keep this all straight:

1.Schwarzenegger has sex with 16 year-old Gigi Goyette in 1975, breaking the statutory rape law. She said they had "outercourse".

2. They have subsequent 7 year affair from 1989-1996 while he is married.

3. Enquirer prints 2001 article on affair. Arnold withdraws from speculation on running for Governor for 2002 race.

4.August 2003: Recall of Davis goes on ballot. Arnold declares for Governor.

5. 2 days later, Enquirer pays Goyette $20,000 for "exclusive" they never run, plus another $1,000 to her friend to keep quiet--all before the recall election. Goyette expected book deal.

6. Arnold wins Governor seat.

7. 2 days before taking the oath, Schwarzenegger signs multi-million deal with American Media, owner of Enquirer for $8 million, to endorse their body-building Flex magazine and be a consultant, etc. Arnold also gets $250,000 contributed to his charity, which he or non-profit does not disclose on candidate forms.

6. Arnold vetoes bill to provide controls on supplements that he profits on through magazine deal.

9. AMI Deal exposed as conflict of interest in 2005 and subsequent AMI documents reveal $250,000 contribution. Goyette talks to author Leamer.

Here's the 2001 Enquirer story:

ARNOLD'S MISTRESS

HIS SHOCKING 7-YEAR AFFAIR

For seven years, Arnold Schwarzenegger hid a mistress from his loving wife Maria Shriver -- and hours after learning The ENQUIRER discovered his sordid secret, "The Terminator" terminated his run for governor of California.

The brazen actor began his affair with former child actress Gigi Goyette when she was only 16 -- and even made love to her in the very same hotel where he was staying with "Dateline" star Maria.

A bombshell ENQUIRER investigation -- featured in our issue that hits the stands Friday -- has exposed the whole shocking story, including how the father of four hid the trysts from his family.

Several months ago the muscleman-turned-actor emerged as a leading Republican contender for governor of California -- but earlier this week, after we called his representative for comment, the star made a surprise announcement that he won't enter politics until his youngsters, ages 3 to 11, are older.

Actress Paid Not to Talk of Schwarzenegger Affair
Publisher of Tabloids, Bodybuilding Magazines Gave Woman $20,000 After Actor Joined Governor's Race

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12 -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, already facing plummeting approval ratings and questions about his business dealings, took another hit Friday with a report that a tabloid publisher with close ties to the former movie star paid an alleged paramour of his $20,000 not to discuss their relationship.

The August 2003 confidentiality agreement between American Media Inc. -- publisher of the National Enquirer, Globe and Star -- and bit-part actress Gigi Goyette was reached two days after Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy for governor, and seven months before he signed on as an editor for two bodybuilding magazines owned by the company.

Details of the agreement -- in which Goyette agreed not to share her story with anyone outside American Media -- were reported in a front-page story in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, though the deal was first described in an opinion piece published by freelance journalist Laurence Leamer in the same newpaper more than a month ago.

The governor's office would not comment Friday, other than to refer to comments Schwarzenegger's spokesman Rob Stutzman gave the Times saying he did not believe the governor knew of the deal.

Stutzman added that Schwarzenegger's dealings with American Media had no connection to the company's "business of purchasing the rights to stories."

"That's what they do," he said. "Obviously, part of their business is the tabloid business."

Stu Zakim, a spokesman for American Media, said, "We're not commenting at all." A message left on Goyette's answering machine was not returned. Neither were messages left at a number the California Bar Association listed for her attorney, Charlotte Hassett.

Ethics-in-government experts and political observers said the deal almost certainly did not violate any laws but that it created the appearance of a conflict that could hurt Schwarzenegger's reputation at a time when he is relying on his own personal popularity to advance his political agenda against growing opposition across California.

Gigi Goyette, who outed herself as Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret mistress for the past seven years, on a hilarious programme called Arnold Schwarzenegger - Made In Britain, a fascinating look back to his beginnings in bodybuilding contests.

The programme traced the Austrian's unlikely journey from a sweaty gym in Romford Road, East London, where a dear old couple called Wag and Dianne Bennett worked on building up his calves, to success in Hollywood and some of the finest bedrooms in America, including Gigi's.

Gigi solemnly informed us that what she and Arnie have been doing is what she likes to describe as "outercourse". This, film fans and political supporters of the Terminator alike will be relieved to discover, involves in one of Gigi's many memorable phrases: "no insertion". She was very strict about this.

Anything outside of the body, though, is fair game, said Gigi. "I could be standing on my head and getting head," she said, conjuring up an image which successfully erased all those pictures of naked hiking from the visual memory bank. Gigi described herself as not so much a mistress, more Arnie's "avenue of relaxation".

when author Laurence Leamer published his unauthorized bio Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger this year, and a subsequent op-ed that delved into a love affair Schwarzenegger once had with a woman named Gigi Goyette, it morphed into a front-page story in the Los Angeles Times and then went national.

Between August 12 and August 14, media outlets nationwide repeated the story: that Goyette had been paid $20,000 by American Media for her life story several weeks before Schwarzenegger was elected, but her story was never published.

Much of this month�s coverage implied that Schwarzenegger may have been linked to the decision to pay Goyette $20,000 to silence her as he ran for governor. It implies that American Media, which at the time was wooing Arnold to be executive editor of one of its muscle magazines, needed to shut up Goyette in order to save Arnold�s reputation. Laugh if you wish.

One headline on a Web site of CBS 5 in the Bay Area stated breathlessly, �Governor Linked to Alleged Girlfriend Coverup.� Although I�m certain that some reporters desperately hope to link Schwarzenegger to an alleged coverup, no �link� has been made. But let�s not fret over facts.

A headline on the Washington Post�s Web site in recent days read, �Actress Paid Not to Talk of Schwarzenegger Affair.� In fact, exclusivity payments, made to ensure people don�t share their stories, are not normally described as paying people �not to talk�--as evidenced by the untold bios that sit on dusty shelves in Hollywood studios.

The Times� August 12 story contained zero evidence that Schwarzenegger was involved in the $20,000 story-rights payment to Goyette or in the decision by American Media not to publish it.

Leamer�s book recounted how Goyette and Schwarzenegger had a short affair in 1975 when she was a teenager, according to her, and then got back together in the 1980s on an annual basis when she worked at a yearly Ohio fitness event he hosts. The Times� story was based on the book and a recent op-ed Leamer wrote for the paper in which he revealed the $20,000 payment promised to Goyette.

�Michael Kinsley went crazy for it,� Leamer said of the Times� opinion editor. But the front-page news story failed to advance things. In an egregious use of innuendo, the article contained the following anonymous comments, attributed to an American Media employee (whether a high-level staffer or a gossip paid for tidbits, the Times didn�t say): �Why didn�t the stories run? That�s the obvious question. ... AMI systematically bought the silence� of Goyette and her friend, whom the paper reported got $1,000.

This anonymous conjecture seems to violate the paper�s useless new ethics �rule,� explained in a July 16 article, which allows anonymous quotes in the Los Angeles Times only �as a last resort to convey important information that cannot be delivered by other means.�

Clearly, the paper was at its last resort.

As the media pursue this story right up to the November special election, let�s be very clear: Gigi Goyette, after cutting a $20,000 deal in August 2003 to sell her story exclusively to American Media, continued telling her story, loudly, in the most public of ways.

On September 3, 2003, Fox News ran a Roger Friedman-bylined story online in which Goyette told Friedman all about her affair. She said it began nearly 30 years ago when she was 16 and ended when Schwarzenegger married Maria Shriver.

In the Fox interview, Goyette accused Arnold of getting her fired from her job after she revealed their love affair to the National Enquirer, which published it in 2001.

American Media Inc.'s relationship with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be a little more involved than mere fitness consulting. Now it looks like David Pecker's empire helped pay off a woman and her friend from speaking about an alleged affair with the very married action hero.

The Los Angeles Times has the story on the $20,000 contract with Gigi Goyette, signed Aug. 8 2003, or two days after Arnold announced his candidacy for governor. Bonnie Fuller's Star revenue also helped pay $1,000 to Goyette's friend Judy Mora to keep quiet.

The 2-page contracts � titled "Confidentiality Agreement," creatively � force them not to speak to anyone regarding their "interactions" with Schwarzenegger and have no expiration dates..

AMI's generosity on behalf of Schwarzenegger, of course, didn't come without strings. It was at that time they were courting him for that notorious arrangement (originally structured to sign Arnold as executive editor of Flex and Muscle & Fitness) that eventually kept nutritional supplement regulations off California's books.

Any social intercourse on the "Outercourse" with a 16 year-old? The $250,000 contribution was not reported and the $20,000 was essentially hush money and must be counted as well.

RECOMMEND if you think the public should know about another Republican Child Predator, who the media and authorities helped cover up.
