Fans Slam Schwarzenegger’s Divorce Joke, Say He Tried to Bury Nanny Son Detail

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent quip regarding his ex-wife Maria Shriver taking "half his money" during their divorce has ignited backlash, serving as a potent reminder of why certain subjects should remain untouched. Not long ago, Schwarzenegger's jest resurfaced painful memories from their tumultuous separation, which was marred by scandal, particularly his admission of an affair with the family housekeeper. While honoring journalist Chris Wallace at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, he made the ill-timed comparison, humorously noting, “The only difference between Chris and Maria is that Chris has never taken half my money.” This remark swiftly drew outrage, with many defending Shriver's role and emphasizing that, as a Kennedy, she needed no financial gain from him. Comments highlighted his infidelity, asserting Shriver deserved more than half of the assets, given the distress caused. Ultimately, his attempt at humor underscored the profound consequences of past actions that continue to resonate within their family dynamics.
