Women say Arnold groped, humiliated them
Los Angeles Times
Oct. 1, 2003 09:44 PM
Six women who came into contact with Arnold Schwarzenegger on movie
sets, in studio offices and in other settings over the last three
decades say he touched them in a sexual manner without their consent.
In interviews with the Los Angeles Times, three of the women described
their surprise and discomfort when Schwarzenegger grabbed their
breasts. A fourth said he reached under her skirt and grabbed her
buttocks.
A fifth woman said Schwarzenegger groped her and tried to remove her
bathing suit in a hotel elevator. A sixth said Schwarzenegger pulled
her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been
performed on her.
According to the women's accounts, one of the incidents occurred in
the 1970s, two in the 1980s, two in the 1990s and one in 2000.
"Did he rape me? No," said one woman, who described a 1980 encounter
in which she said Schwarzenegger grabbed her breast. "Did he humiliate
me? You bet he did."
Four of the six women told their stories on condition that they not be
named. Three work in Hollywood and said they were worried that, if
they were identified, their careers would be in jeopardy for speaking
out against Schwarzenegger, the one-time bodybuilding champion and
box-office star who is now the front-runner in the Oct. 7
gubernatorial recall election.
The other unnamed woman said she feared public ridicule and possible
damage to her husband's business.
In the four cases in which the women would not let their names be
published, friends or relatives told the Times that the women had told
them about the incidents long before Schwarzenegger's run for
governor.
None of the six women who gave their accounts to the Times filed any
legal action against him.
Schwarzenegger's campaign spokesman, Sean Walsh, said the candidate
has not engaged in improper conduct toward women either on the set or
off. He said such allegations are part of an escalating political
attack on Schwarzenegger as the recall election draws near.
"We believe Democrats and others are using this to try to hurt Arnold
Schwarzenegger's campaign," Walsh said. "We believe that this is
coming so close before the election, something that discourages good,
hard-working, decent people from running for office."
He said Schwarzenegger himself would have no comment.
None of the women approached the Times on her own, and none was
identified by Schwarzenegger's rivals in the recall race.
All were interviewed by the newspaper in the course of a seven-week
examination of whether Schwarzenegger had harassed women on or off the
movie set.
Schwarzenegger's attitudes about women have been an issue on the
campaign trail, where critics have accused him of being misogynistic,
based on past statements he has made to various publications. In
response, Schwarzenegger has said he respects women and that many of
his comments were said in jest or simply meant to be provocative.
Schwarzenegger's conduct toward women also has been widely discussed
in Hollywood over the years, no more so than after a March 2001
article in Premiere magazine called "Arnold the Barbarian." After the
article appeared, a number of Schwarzenegger's colleagues wrote to the
magazine saying that the story was inaccurate and that Schwarzenegger
treated women with respect and kindness.
The earliest incident of the six described to the Times was said to
have occurred in 1975 at Gold's Gym near Venice Beach, Calif. E. Laine
Stockton, then newly married to professional bodybuilder Robby
Robinson, said she had come to the gym to watch her husband work out.
Stockton was 19 at the time. She said she was wearing slacks, tennis
shoes and a loose-fitting T-shirt. She said she was not wearing a bra.
As she sat on an exercise bench, Stockton said, Schwarzenegger walked
up behind her, reached his left hand under her T-shirt and touched her
bare left breast.
"The gym is full of bodybuilders and Arnold comes and he gropes my
breast -- actually touches my breast with his left hand," she said.
She said Schwarzenegger then walked away without comment.
Stockton said she does not rule out the possibility that
Schwarzenegger "may have meant it in playfulness." But she did not
take it that way.
"I was just shocked, shocked to the point where I almost didn't know
how to react, because it was so out of the blue and so unexpected,"
she said. "It just completely caught me off guard, and when I finally
came to my senses, I immediately went over to Robby and I said, 'Look,
Arnold just groped my breast.' "
Robinson, a former Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe, said that
at the time of the incident, he had been across the gym getting a
dumbbell.
"I ran up and tried to comfort her," said Robinson, who has since had
a falling out with Schwarzenegger. (A black known as the "Black
Prince" during his years on the professional bodybuilding circuit,
Robinson has accused Schwarzenegger of racism -- a charge that
Schwarzenegger's campaign denies.)
Robinson said he was upset by what Schwarzenegger had done to his
wife, but did not confront him. "What he did was uncalled for, but I
couldn't say nothing," Robinson said, explaining that he feared he'd
be ostracized by the bodybuilding world.
He said he told his wife to stay out of Gold's Gym from then on.
Robinson and Stockton are now divorced. They were interviewed
separately by the Times.
The next incident described to the Times was said to have occurred in
1980. A former pro beach volleyball player said Schwarzenegger touched
her breast on a Santa Monica, Calif., street.
The woman remembered walking down 19th Street, just off Wilshire
Boulevard, when Schwarzenegger spotted her and got out of his car, the
motor still running.
"Come here," she recalled Schwarzenegger saying, as he motioned with
his finger to the woman, then 22.
The two knew each other. She worked as a waitress at Fromin's deli,
she said, a place Schwarzenegger frequented. One day, she recalled,
Schwarzenegger asked her when she was going on break. "We could have a
lot of fun in half an hour," she remembered him saying. She said she
was both a little scared and a little flattered. "I can't say I wasn't
flattered. Arnold invited me to his apartment." She said she declined
his invitation.
Schwarzenegger renewed his invitation, she said, when he spotted her
playing in a women's volleyball tournament at Venice Beach. "After the
game, he came up to me and said, 'Now you will come to my apartment.'
He didn't want to hear no." The woman said she told him, "It's not
going to happen."
This time, she said, as she walked along 19th Street, Schwarzenegger
conveyed a sense of urgency: "Come close, it's very important." As she
drew nearer to hear what he had to say, she recounted, Schwarzenegger
"grabbed and squeezed" her left breast.
"If I was a man," she said she told him, "I would bust your jaw."
As tears welled in her eyes, she said, Schwarzenegger laughed. "He
thought it was hilarious."
She said she went to her car and "just started crying and crying."
The woman said she told her sister about the encounter with
Schwarzenegger. In a telephone interview, the sister confirmed that
she had been told about the incident at the time. She recalled that
her sibling was "completely offended" by it.
One of the women in the Premiere article was British television host
Anna Richardson, who accused Schwarzenegger of touching her breast. In
an interview with the Times, she confirmed that account.
Richardson said she was interviewing the actor in December 2000 as
part of his promotional tour for the movie "The Sixth Day." The
interview, to be aired on her TV show "Big Screen," took place in a
suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
Richardson said she had interviewed Schwarzenegger on previous
occasions and that he had been a "perfect gentleman."
"This time around was quite different," she recalled. "He was already
kind of hyped up. He kept looking at my breasts, kept asking if I
worked out," she said. "I went to shake his hand and he grabbed me
onto his knee and he said, 'Before you go, I want to know if your
breasts are real.' "
Richardson, then 29, said she replied that her breasts were real. She
said she looked around for help from the other people in the room, but
nobody came to her assistance. "At that point, he circled my left
nipple with his finger and he said, 'Yes, they are real.' " She said
he then let her go.
The Schwarzenegger campaign has provided a different account.
Sheryl Main, a Hollywood publicist who has worked with Schwarzenegger
on many films and accompanied him on his worldwide travels since 1995,
said she was present at the interview. Main said it was Richardson who
provocatively approached Schwarzenegger. She said that after finishing
the brief interview, Richardson rose, cupped her right breast in her
right hand and said, "What do you think of these?" She then sat on his
lap and was immediately escorted from the room, Main said.
She contends that Richardson later concocted her story.
A movie studio secretary said Schwarzenegger grabbed her buttocks in
the late 1980s.
She said the episode occurred on the Columbia Pictures lot, where she
worked. She said she often accompanied her boss, who was also a woman,
on visits around the lot. One day the boss asked if she would like to
meet Schwarzenegger, who was in a production office.
"It was like, 'Oh, come with me, you can meet him,' " the secretary
said.
When they reached the office, she said, Schwarzenegger was seated on a
couch. The secretary, then in her 30s, said she sat on a couch
opposite Schwarzenegger while the actor and her supervisor talked.
When the conversation ended, the secretary said she approached
Schwarzenegger to shake his hand and say goodbye.
He remained seated, she said, and he slipped his left hand under her
skirt and grabbed her right buttock.
"He just held on. He held on and said, 'You have a very nice ass.' He
said, 'I'd love to work you out.' "
"I remember thinking his hand was cold on my butt," she said.
The door, not far from where Schwarzenegger was sitting, was open and
the secretary said she remembers seeing a couple of people outside
look in at them -- and then quickly look away.
"All I was really thinking was, 'I'd like to go.' I was trying to
figure out how to get his hand off my butt and his arm away from me
without making a big deal of it. I remember thinking, 'Geez, that's a
strong arm.' . . . I was just thinking, 'Let me get out of here.' "
She said she looked at the ceiling and looked at her boss, who kept
repeating, "We've got to go now. We've got to go now,' and yanking my
arm. My boss did the best she could to get me away."
The secretary said Schwarzenegger released her after about 20 seconds.
Later, as they left the production office, the secretary said her
flustered supervisor remarked, "Oh, my gosh! I had no idea he would do
that." The secretary said she replied: "Oh, well, no big deal."
"I was sort of embarrassed in front of her. It just felt strange."
A day or two later, Schwarzenegger called her boss' office, and the
secretary said she answered the phone. "He figured out it was me and
he said, 'Oh, you still haven't come to work out with me.' " She said
she did not respond and simply put her boss on the line.
Six or seven years later, the secretary recalled, she walked past
Schwarzenegger on a studio lot. "No recognition. No looking," she
said.
Now 47, she has been in and out of the entertainment business. After a
long period of unemployment, she said she now has another secretarial
job at a movie studio and does not want to risk losing it by being
publicly identified. She also declined to provide the name of her boss
on the Columbia lot, saying that it could jeopardize her career as
well.
She has, however, recounted the story numerous times through the years
-- initially as a warning to other women with whom she worked. Yet the
secretary said most women she knows in and around the entertainment
business were untroubled by the incident.
"I was like, 'He's disgusting, he's revolting.' They said, 'No, he's
hot.' The attitude of women was more upsetting than he was."
She also told the story to a friend, Michael Collins, a freelance
writer and director of The Los Angeles Press Club. In an interview
with the Times, Collins said that she recounted the episode to him
eight months ago -- well before the recall race. "She never thought he
might run for governor," he said.
In late 1990, Schwarzenegger was in the San Bernardino County town of
Fontana, shooting "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." According to a female
crew member, Schwarzenegger harassed her on several occasions.
She recalled encountering the actor in an elevator as she headed
downstairs to the pool of the hotel where the cast and crew were
staying. On each occasion, she said, she was wearing a terrycloth robe
over a black, one-piece Speedo swimsuit.
"At least three times -- if not more -- he would end up in the
elevator with me, groping me and trying to take my robe off," said the
crew member, now 41 and still working in the movie industry.
"He would pin me against the corner in the elevator" and try to take
off her robe and pull down the straps of her suit, she said.
The incidents did not last long, she said, because the elevator ride
was short.
The woman said her reactions to Schwarzenegger's overtures evolved
with each incident. "The first time, you're like, "Oh, my God! I was
groped by Arnold Schwarzenegger!' The second time you're like, 'This
is disgusting.' The third time you're like, 'Get the . . . away from
me.' "
She said she told her boss, who advised her, "Just stay away from
him."'
After that, the woman said, she would check the hotel hallway before
entering the elevator. She said if Schwarzenegger got into the pool,
she would get out.
"What could you do? He was the highest-paid actor in the world. I was
a peon," she said. "The only thing you could do is stay away from
him."
The crew member said she told her husband about the elevator
confrontations within a year of when they first met in 1992. "I heard
this story a long time ago," her husband confirmed.
The couple spoke with the Times only after repeated assurances that
their names would be kept confidential. "I'm a professional in the
film business," she said. "I fear retribution."
Another woman, now a wife and mother in her 30s, said she also fell in
Schwarzenegger's "sight lines" while "Terminator 2" was being filmed
in Fontana.
A member of the movie crew, she said Schwarzenegger was sitting in a
director's chair, surrounded by three or four other men, waiting for
filming to start. It was either late afternoon or early evening, she
said.
"I was walking on the set and Arnold called out, 'Come here, you sexy
devil,' and reached out and pulled me on to his lap," the woman
recalled.
She said he then whispered in her ear: "Have you ever had a man slide
his tongue in your (anus)?"
Young and unsure of herself, the woman said, "I didn't know how to
react. It was bizarre. What he said was so specifically sexual, it was
bizarre.
"I remember looking around and seeing this bank of smiling faces and
feeling alone," she continued. The men standing at Schwarzenegger's
side, she said, "were in total support mode -- of him, not me. It was
kind of like everything he did was OK, and isn't it funny and isn't it
swell? It was like they were proud of him . . . Nobody said, 'What are
you doing? Leave her alone.' "
After the incident, she said, she continued on her way. "I didn't fall
apart," she said, but added: "It's embarrassing and degrading when
you're doing a job."
She did not report the incident, she said, because she was simply a
low-level crew member. "You're in an environment where you just go
with the flow but not cause trouble." The attitude on the set was:
"Isn't it flattering that Arnold is paying attention to you?"
The woman said she recounted the incident at the time to a family
member. In an interview with the Times, the family member confirmed
being told about the encounter and said, "Arnold thought it was kind
of fun to toy with her. It embarrassed her."
The woman said she wished she "wasn't so spineless," but feared that
she would be shunned in Hollywood if quoted by name.
"There's an unspoken rule in the industry," she said. "What happens on
the set stays on the set."
Nancy Tafoya, who was also on the set of "Terminator 2," recalled a
memorable meeting with Schwarzenegger. Tafoya -- who was serving as a
legal guardian for 13-year-old actor Eddie Furlong, her nephew and one
of the film's key characters -- said she was talking with a group of
people when Schwarzenegger came up behind her and yanked her long,
black hair.
Her head snapped back, she said. Although she was not injured, Tafoya
said she was "shocked." The people around her, she said, started
laughing.
Tafoya said she was never touched in a sexual manner by
Schwarzenegger, but she saw him push his body against a female crew
member.
Tafoya said she was no more than 15 feet from Schwarzenegger when he
approached a woman wearing jeans, a shirt and tennis shoes.
She said Schwarzenegger walked across the room and faced the woman.
"Then he grabbed both sides of her knees and pushed them apart and
started moving his pelvis into her," Tafoya said. "It lasted about 10
seconds." She said the woman laughed nervously, and Schwarzenegger
walked away.
"I thought that was incredibly offensive, and I didn't know who I was
more annoyed with -- him or her," said Tafoya, a social worker. "But
when I looked at her, I thought the woman didn't have much choice,
because it happened so quick."
Some of the dozens of people interviewed for this article stressed
that the culture on movie sets tends to be rowdy and permissive.
Often, the tone is set by the star, they said.
In Schwarzenegger's case, they said, his sense of humor and language
is often outrageous -- but not mean-spirited. Many of his colleagues
find him to be charming.
"He's fun, extremely intelligent and very professional," said
stuntwoman Simone Boisseree, who worked with Schwarzenegger on four
films. "I like him as a human being and think he's a decent guy."
Another stuntwoman, Chere Rae Bryson, came away with a different
impression after working with Schwarzenegger on the 1990 movie "Total
Recall." She said he often used vulgar words for vagina and clitoris
during her contact with him during the filming.
"He was crude, boisterous and disparaging around women," she said. "In
the makeup room, his language was so bad I turned around and walked
out."
Bryson said Schwarzenegger seemed to have toned down his behavior when
she worked with him on a second movie, "Collateral Damage," released
in 2002.
"People do change as we get older," said Bryson, who was also an
actress and Playboy bunny. "All of us, at one time or another, have
displayed behavior that I'm sure we're not proud of. Hopefully, he's
evolved from that."
Bryson said Schwarzenegger was also on his best behavior whenever his
wife, Maria Shriver, was present. The couple married in 1986. "When
Maria was around, he was a gentleman," Bryson said. "When she wasn't
around, he was the opposite."
One woman who says she was deeply offended by Schwarzenegger's words
was a waitress at the Bicycle Shop cafe on Wilshire Boulevard in West
Los Angeles, where the actor used to hang out with about half a dozen
pals on Sunday mornings in the late 1980s.
"They always sat in my section," she said. The group was friendly and
chatty with her, and always took their lead from Schwarzenegger. They
tipped well, too. "There was definitely harmless flirtation with all
of them," said the woman, who also worked sporadically as a TV
actress.
One Sunday, she said, she was pouring coffee at the table when
Schwarzenegger beckoned her.
"I bent down to listen to him," she recalled. "He said, a little
louder than a whisper, 'I want you to do a favor for me.' I thought,
OK, maybe he wanted more bread. And he said, 'I want you to go in the
bathroom, stick your finger in your (vagina), and bring it out to me.'
"
She stood upright. "I was thoroughly disgusted" but said nothing to
Schwarzenegger, she recalled. "There was drama in the silence of it,"
she said. "He looked up, and it looked like I was threatening (him)
with the coffee pot."
Everyone at the table then glanced over at the restaurant owner, Andre
Driollet. He wagged his finger at the waitress, she said, apparently
fearful that she was going to dump the coffee on Schwarzenegger.
"I was so appalled, and when Andre looked at me (as if) to say you
better not, I immediately went to him to tell him what happened," she
recounted. What Schwarzenegger had said "was above and beyond what was
acceptable. I think he should have had hot coffee poured in his lap."
Driollet, who according to a relative is living on a boat in the
Caribbean, could not be reached. In interviews with the Times, two
friends of the waitress said she told them of the incident long ago.
The waitress said she told Schwarzenegger at the time: "If you're ever
some place and some woman throws hot coffee on your head, it will be
me." He laughed, she said.
"He thought it was the funniest thing. And then the whole table
laughed because, if Arnold laughed, the whole table laughed."
But what if the expierenced kicker has never been able to kick the ball
between the uprights!!

>
> "He just held on. He held on and said, 'You have a very nice ass.' He

>
> "I remember thinking his hand was cold on my butt," she said.
>
> The door, not far from where Schwarzenegger was sitting, was open and
> the secretary said she remembers seeing a couple of people outside

>
> "All I was really thinking was, 'I'd like to go.' I was trying to
> figure out how to get his hand off my butt and his arm away from me
> without making a big deal of it. I remember thinking, 'Geez, that's a
> strong arm.' . . . I was just thinking, 'Let me get out of here.' "
>
> She said she looked at the ceiling and looked at her boss, who kept
> repeating, "We've got to go now. We've got to go now,' and yanking my
> arm. My boss did the best she could to get me away."
>
> The secretary said Schwarzenegger released her after about 20 seconds.
>
> Later, as they left the production office, the secretary said her
> flustered supervisor remarked, "Oh, my gosh! I had no idea he would do

>
> "I was sort of embarrassed in front of her. It just felt strange."

> A day or two later, Schwarzenegger called her boss' office, and the

>
> Six or seven years later, the secretary recalled, she walked past

>
> Now 47, she has been in and out of the entertainment business. After a

>
> She has, however, recounted the story numerous times through the years

>
> "I was like, 'He's disgusting, he's revolting.' They said, 'No, he's
> hot.' The attitude of women was more upsetting than he was."
>
> She also told the story to a friend, Michael Collins, a freelance

>
> In late 1990, Schwarzenegger was in the San Bernardino County town of
> Fontana, shooting "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." According to a female

> "At least three times -- if not more -- he would end up in the

>
> The woman said her reactions to Schwarzenegger's overtures evolved

>
> She said she told her boss, who advised her, "Just stay away from

>
> After that, the woman said, she would check the hotel hallway before

> she would get out.
>
> "What could you do? He was the highest-paid actor in the world. I was
> a peon," she said. "The only thing you could do is stay away from

>
> The crew member said she told her husband about the elevator

>
> The couple spoke with the Times only after repeated assurances that
> their names would be kept confidential. "I'm a professional in the

>
> Another woman, now a wife and mother in her 30s, said she also fell in

>
> A member of the movie crew, she said Schwarzenegger was sitting in a

>
> "I was walking on the set and Arnold called out, 'Come here, you sexy

>

>
> Young and unsure of herself, the woman said, "I didn't know how to

>

Sounds like you've got the problem, not Arnold. Davis is and always will be
a bum. I'm a Dem and I voted for Arnold. Someone has to pull California out
of what Davis did. Who the hell voted Davis back in if everyone wanted him
out anyway? California has a lot of dumbass people. You vote for someone and
then recall him/her. I'm glad I moved back to Massachusetts where, People
vote and keep the people they voted for. Davis is no good, you all knew that
and then you cry all the way back to the voting box to get rid of the same
guy you put into office...AGAIN!

: Women say Arnold groped, humiliated them
:
:
: Los Angeles Times
: Oct. 1, 2003 09:44 PM
:
:
: Six women who came into contact with Arnold Schwarzenegger on movie
: sets, in studio offices and in other settings over the last three
: decades say he touched them in a sexual manner without their consent.
:
: In interviews with the Los Angeles Times, three of the women described
: their surprise and discomfort when Schwarzenegger grabbed their
: breasts. A fourth said he reached under her skirt and grabbed her
: buttocks.
:
: A fifth woman said Schwarzenegger groped her and tried to remove her
: bathing suit in a hotel elevator. A sixth said Schwarzenegger pulled
: her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been
: performed on her.
:
: According to the women's accounts, one of the incidents occurred in
: the 1970s, two in the 1980s, two in the 1990s and one in 2000.
:
: "Did he rape me? No," said one woman, who described a 1980 encounter
: in which she said Schwarzenegger grabbed her breast. "Did he humiliate
: me? You bet he did."
:
: Four of the six women told their stories on condition that they not be
: named. Three work in Hollywood and said they were worried that, if
: they were identified, their careers would be in jeopardy for speaking
: out against Schwarzenegger, the one-time bodybuilding champion and
: box-office star who is now the front-runner in the Oct. 7
: gubernatorial recall election.
:
: The other unnamed woman said she feared public ridicule and possible
: damage to her husband's business.
:
: In the four cases in which the women would not let their names be
: published, friends or relatives told the Times that the women had told
: them about the incidents long before Schwarzenegger's run for
: governor.
:
: None of the six women who gave their accounts to the Times filed any
: legal action against him.
:
: Schwarzenegger's campaign spokesman, Sean Walsh, said the candidate
: has not engaged in improper conduct toward women either on the set or
: off. He said such allegations are part of an escalating political
: attack on Schwarzenegger as the recall election draws near.
:
: "We believe Democrats and others are using this to try to hurt Arnold
: Schwarzenegger's campaign," Walsh said. "We believe that this is
: coming so close before the election, something that discourages good,
: hard-working, decent people from running for office."
:
: He said Schwarzenegger himself would have no comment.
:
: None of the women approached the Times on her own, and none was
: identified by Schwarzenegger's rivals in the recall race.
:
: All were interviewed by the newspaper in the course of a seven-week
: examination of whether Schwarzenegger had harassed women on or off the
: movie set.
:
: Schwarzenegger's attitudes about women have been an issue on the
: campaign trail, where critics have accused him of being misogynistic,
: based on past statements he has made to various publications. In
: response, Schwarzenegger has said he respects women and that many of
: his comments were said in jest or simply meant to be provocative.
:
: Schwarzenegger's conduct toward women also has been widely discussed
: in Hollywood over the years, no more so than after a March 2001
: article in Premiere magazine called "Arnold the Barbarian." After the
: article appeared, a number of Schwarzenegger's colleagues wrote to the
: magazine saying that the story was inaccurate and that Schwarzenegger
: treated women with respect and kindness.
:
: The earliest incident of the six described to the Times was said to
: have occurred in 1975 at Gold's Gym near Venice Beach, Calif. E. Laine
: Stockton, then newly married to professional bodybuilder Robby
: Robinson, said she had come to the gym to watch her husband work out.
:
: Stockton was 19 at the time. She said she was wearing slacks, tennis
: shoes and a loose-fitting T-shirt. She said she was not wearing a bra.
:
: As she sat on an exercise bench, Stockton said, Schwarzenegger walked
: up behind her, reached his left hand under her T-shirt and touched her
: bare left breast.
:
: "The gym is full of bodybuilders and Arnold comes and he gropes my
: breast -- actually touches my breast with his left hand," she said.
:
: She said Schwarzenegger then walked away without comment.
:
: Stockton said she does not rule out the possibility that
: Schwarzenegger "may have meant it in playfulness." But she did not
: take it that way.
:
: "I was just shocked, shocked to the point where I almost didn't know
: how to react, because it was so out of the blue and so unexpected,"
: she said. "It just completely caught me off guard, and when I finally
: came to my senses, I immediately went over to Robby and I said, 'Look,
: Arnold just groped my breast.' "
:
: Robinson, a former Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe, said that
: at the time of the incident, he had been across the gym getting a
: dumbbell.
:
: "I ran up and tried to comfort her," said Robinson, who has since had
: a falling out with Schwarzenegger. (A black known as the "Black
: Prince" during his years on the professional bodybuilding circuit,
: Robinson has accused Schwarzenegger of racism -- a charge that
: Schwarzenegger's campaign denies.)
:
: Robinson said he was upset by what Schwarzenegger had done to his
: wife, but did not confront him. "What he did was uncalled for, but I
: couldn't say nothing," Robinson said, explaining that he feared he'd
: be ostracized by the bodybuilding world.
:
: He said he told his wife to stay out of Gold's Gym from then on.
:
: Robinson and Stockton are now divorced. They were interviewed
: separately by the Times.
:
: The next incident described to the Times was said to have occurred in
: 1980. A former pro beach volleyball player said Schwarzenegger touched
: her breast on a Santa Monica, Calif., street.
:
: The woman remembered walking down 19th Street, just off Wilshire
: Boulevard, when Schwarzenegger spotted her and got out of his car, the
: motor still running.
:
: "Come here," she recalled Schwarzenegger saying, as he motioned with
: his finger to the woman, then 22.
:
: The two knew each other. She worked as a waitress at Fromin's deli,
: she said, a place Schwarzenegger frequented. One day, she recalled,
: Schwarzenegger asked her when she was going on break. "We could have a
: lot of fun in half an hour," she remembered him saying. She said she
: was both a little scared and a little flattered. "I can't say I wasn't
: flattered. Arnold invited me to his apartment." She said she declined
: his invitation.
:
: Schwarzenegger renewed his invitation, she said, when he spotted her
: playing in a women's volleyball tournament at Venice Beach. "After the
: game, he came up to me and said, 'Now you will come to my apartment.'
: He didn't want to hear no." The woman said she told him, "It's not
: going to happen."
:
: This time, she said, as she walked along 19th Street, Schwarzenegger
: conveyed a sense of urgency: "Come close, it's very important." As she
: drew nearer to hear what he had to say, she recounted, Schwarzenegger
: "grabbed and squeezed" her left breast.
:
: "If I was a man," she said she told him, "I would bust your jaw."
:
: As tears welled in her eyes, she said, Schwarzenegger laughed. "He
: thought it was hilarious."
:
: She said she went to her car and "just started crying and crying."
:
: The woman said she told her sister about the encounter with
: Schwarzenegger. In a telephone interview, the sister confirmed that
: she had been told about the incident at the time. She recalled that
: her sibling was "completely offended" by it.
:
: One of the women in the Premiere article was British television host
: Anna Richardson, who accused Schwarzenegger of touching her breast. In
: an interview with the Times, she confirmed that account.
:
: Richardson said she was interviewing the actor in December 2000 as
: part of his promotional tour for the movie "The Sixth Day." The
: interview, to be aired on her TV show "Big Screen," took place in a
: suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
:
: Richardson said she had interviewed Schwarzenegger on previous
: occasions and that he had been a "perfect gentleman."
:
: "This time around was quite different," she recalled. "He was already
: kind of hyped up. He kept looking at my breasts, kept asking if I
: worked out," she said. "I went to shake his hand and he grabbed me
: onto his knee and he said, 'Before you go, I want to know if your
: breasts are real.' "
:
: Richardson, then 29, said she replied that her breasts were real. She
: said she looked around for help from the other people in the room, but
: nobody came to her assistance. "At that point, he circled my left
: nipple with his finger and he said, 'Yes, they are real.' " She said
: he then let her go.
:
: The Schwarzenegger campaign has provided a different account.
:
: Sheryl Main, a Hollywood publicist who has worked with Schwarzenegger
: on many films and accompanied him on his worldwide travels since 1995,
: said she was present at the interview. Main said it was Richardson who
: provocatively approached Schwarzenegger. She said that after finishing
: the brief interview, Richardson rose, cupped her right breast in her
: right hand and said, "What do you think of these?" She then sat on his
: lap and was immediately escorted from the room, Main said.
:
: She contends that Richardson later concocted her story.
:
: A movie studio secretary said Schwarzenegger grabbed her buttocks in
: the late 1980s.
:
: She said the episode occurred on the Columbia Pictures lot, where she
: worked. She said she often accompanied her boss, who was also a woman,
: on visits around the lot. One day the boss asked if she would like to
: meet Schwarzenegger, who was in a production office.
:
: "It was like, 'Oh, come with me, you can meet him,' " the secretary
: said.
:
: When they reached the office, she said, Schwarzenegger was seated on a
: couch. The secretary, then in her 30s, said she sat on a couch
: opposite Schwarzenegger while the actor and her supervisor talked.
: When the conversation ended, the secretary said she approached
: Schwarzenegger to shake his hand and say goodbye.
:
: He remained seated, she said, and he slipped his left hand under her
: skirt and grabbed her right buttock.
:
: "He just held on. He held on and said, 'You have a very nice ass.' He
: said, 'I'd love to work you out.' "
:
: "I remember thinking his hand was cold on my butt," she said.
:
: The door, not far from where Schwarzenegger was sitting, was open and
: the secretary said she remembers seeing a couple of people outside
: look in at them -- and then quickly look away.
:
: "All I was really thinking was, 'I'd like to go.' I was trying to
: figure out how to get his hand off my butt and his arm away from me
: without making a big deal of it. I remember thinking, 'Geez, that's a
: strong arm.' . . . I was just thinking, 'Let me get out of here.' "
:
: She said she looked at the ceiling and looked at her boss, who kept
: repeating, "We've got to go now. We've got to go now,' and yanking my
: arm. My boss did the best she could to get me away."
:
: The secretary said Schwarzenegger released her after about 20 seconds.
:
: Later, as they left the production office, the secretary said her
: flustered supervisor remarked, "Oh, my gosh! I had no idea he would do
: that." The secretary said she replied: "Oh, well, no big deal."
:
: "I was sort of embarrassed in front of her. It just felt strange."
:
: A day or two later, Schwarzenegger called her boss' office, and the
: secretary said she answered the phone. "He figured out it was me and
: he said, 'Oh, you still haven't come to work out with me.' " She said
: she did not respond and simply put her boss on the line.
:
: Six or seven years later, the secretary recalled, she walked past
: Schwarzenegger on a studio lot. "No recognition. No looking," she
: said.
:
: Now 47, she has been in and out of the entertainment business. After a
: long period of unemployment, she said she now has another secretarial
: job at a movie studio and does not want to risk losing it by being
: publicly identified. She also declined to provide the name of her boss
: on the Columbia lot, saying that it could jeopardize her career as
: well.
:
: She has, however, recounted the story numerous times through the years
: -- initially as a warning to other women with whom she worked. Yet the
: secretary said most women she knows in and around the entertainment
: business were untroubled by the incident.
:
: "I was like, 'He's disgusting, he's revolting.' They said, 'No, he's
: hot.' The attitude of women was more upsetting than he was."
:
: She also told the story to a friend, Michael Collins, a freelance
: writer and director of The Los Angeles Press Club. In an interview
: with the Times, Collins said that she recounted the episode to him
: eight months ago -- well before the recall race. "She never thought he
: might run for governor," he said.
:
: In late 1990, Schwarzenegger was in the San Bernardino County town of
: Fontana, shooting "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." According to a female
: crew member, Schwarzenegger harassed her on several occasions.
:
: She recalled encountering the actor in an elevator as she headed
: downstairs to the pool of the hotel where the cast and crew were
: staying. On each occasion, she said, she was wearing a terrycloth robe
: over a black, one-piece Speedo swimsuit.
:
: "At least three times -- if not more -- he would end up in the
: elevator with me, groping me and trying to take my robe off," said the
: crew member, now 41 and still working in the movie industry.
:
: "He would pin me against the corner in the elevator" and try to take
: off her robe and pull down the straps of her suit, she said.
:
: The incidents did not last long, she said, because the elevator ride
: was short.
:
: The woman said her reactions to Schwarzenegger's overtures evolved
: with each incident. "The first time, you're like, "Oh, my God! I was
: groped by Arnold Schwarzenegger!' The second time you're like, 'This
: is disgusting.' The third time you're like, 'Get the . . . away from
: me.' "
:
: She said she told her boss, who advised her, "Just stay away from
: him."'
:
: After that, the woman said, she would check the hotel hallway before
: entering the elevator. She said if Schwarzenegger got into the pool,
: she would get out.
:
: "What could you do? He was the highest-paid actor in the world. I was
: a peon," she said. "The only thing you could do is stay away from
: him."
:
: The crew member said she told her husband about the elevator
: confrontations within a year of when they first met in 1992. "I heard
: this story a long time ago," her husband confirmed.
:
: The couple spoke with the Times only after repeated assurances that
: their names would be kept confidential. "I'm a professional in the
: film business," she said. "I fear retribution."
:
: Another woman, now a wife and mother in her 30s, said she also fell in
: Schwarzenegger's "sight lines" while "Terminator 2" was being filmed
: in Fontana.
:
: A member of the movie crew, she said Schwarzenegger was sitting in a
: director's chair, surrounded by three or four other men, waiting for
: filming to start. It was either late afternoon or early evening, she
: said.
:
: "I was walking on the set and Arnold called out, 'Come here, you sexy
: devil,' and reached out and pulled me on to his lap," the woman
: recalled.
:
: She said he then whispered in her ear: "Have you ever had a man slide
: his tongue in your (anus)?"
:
: Young and unsure of herself, the woman said, "I didn't know how to
: react. It was bizarre. What he said was so specifically sexual, it was
: bizarre.
:
: "I remember looking around and seeing this bank of smiling faces and
: feeling alone," she continued. The men standing at Schwarzenegger's
: side, she said, "were in total support mode -- of him, not me. It was
: kind of like everything he did was OK, and isn't it funny and isn't it
: swell? It was like they were proud of him . . . Nobody said, 'What are
: you doing? Leave her alone.' "
:
: After the incident, she said, she continued on her way. "I didn't fall
: apart," she said, but added: "It's embarrassing and degrading when
: you're doing a job."
:
: She did not report the incident, she said, because she was simply a
: low-level crew member. "You're in an environment where you just go
: with the flow but not cause trouble." The attitude on the set was:
: "Isn't it flattering that Arnold is paying attention to you?"
:
: The woman said she recounted the incident at the time to a family
: member. In an interview with the Times, the family member confirmed
: being told about the encounter and said, "Arnold thought it was kind
: of fun to toy with her. It embarrassed her."
:
: The woman said she wished she "wasn't so spineless," but feared that
: she would be shunned in Hollywood if quoted by name.
:
: "There's an unspoken rule in the industry," she said. "What happens on
: the set stays on the set."
:
: Nancy Tafoya, who was also on the set of "Terminator 2," recalled a
: memorable meeting with Schwarzenegger. Tafoya -- who was serving as a
: legal guardian for 13-year-old actor Eddie Furlong, her nephew and one
: of the film's key characters -- said she was talking with a group of
: people when Schwarzenegger came up behind her and yanked her long,
: black hair.
:
: Her head snapped back, she said. Although she was not injured, Tafoya
: said she was "shocked." The people around her, she said, started
: laughing.
:
: Tafoya said she was never touched in a sexual manner by
: Schwarzenegger, but she saw him push his body against a female crew
: member.
:
: Tafoya said she was no more than 15 feet from Schwarzenegger when he
: approached a woman wearing jeans, a shirt and tennis shoes.
:
: She said Schwarzenegger walked across the room and faced the woman.
: "Then he grabbed both sides of her knees and pushed them apart and
: started moving his pelvis into her," Tafoya said. "It lasted about 10
: seconds." She said the woman laughed nervously, and Schwarzenegger
: walked away.
:
: "I thought that was incredibly offensive, and I didn't know who I was
: more annoyed with -- him or her," said Tafoya, a social worker. "But
: when I looked at her, I thought the woman didn't have much choice,
: because it happened so quick."
:
: Some of the dozens of people interviewed for this article stressed
: that the culture on movie sets tends to be rowdy and permissive.
: Often, the tone is set by the star, they said.
:
: In Schwarzenegger's case, they said, his sense of humor and language
: is often outrageous -- but not mean-spirited. Many of his colleagues
: find him to be charming.
:
: "He's fun, extremely intelligent and very professional," said
: stuntwoman Simone Boisseree, who worked with Schwarzenegger on four
: films. "I like him as a human being and think he's a decent guy."
:
: Another stuntwoman, Chere Rae Bryson, came away with a different
: impression after working with Schwarzenegger on the 1990 movie "Total
: Recall." She said he often used vulgar words for vagina and clitoris
: during her contact with him during the filming.
:
: "He was crude, boisterous and disparaging around women," she said. "In
: the makeup room, his language was so bad I turned around and walked
: out."
:
: Bryson said Schwarzenegger seemed to have toned down his behavior when
: she worked with him on a second movie, "Collateral Damage," released
: in 2002.
:
: "People do change as we get older," said Bryson, who was also an
: actress and Playboy bunny. "All of us, at one time or another, have
: displayed behavior that I'm sure we're not proud of. Hopefully, he's
: evolved from that."
:
: Bryson said Schwarzenegger was also on his best behavior whenever his
: wife, Maria Shriver, was present. The couple married in 1986. "When
: Maria was around, he was a gentleman," Bryson said. "When she wasn't
: around, he was the opposite."
:
: One woman who says she was deeply offended by Schwarzenegger's words
: was a waitress at the Bicycle Shop cafe on Wilshire Boulevard in West
: Los Angeles, where the actor used to hang out with about half a dozen
: pals on Sunday mornings in the late 1980s.
:
: "They always sat in my section," she said. The group was friendly and
: chatty with her, and always took their lead from Schwarzenegger. They
: tipped well, too. "There was definitely harmless flirtation with all
: of them," said the woman, who also worked sporadically as a TV
: actress.
:
: One Sunday, she said, she was pouring coffee at the table when
: Schwarzenegger beckoned her.
:
: "I bent down to listen to him," she recalled. "He said, a little
: louder than a whisper, 'I want you to do a favor for me.' I thought,
: OK, maybe he wanted more bread. And he said, 'I want you to go in the
: bathroom, stick your finger in your (vagina), and bring it out to me.'
: "
:
: She stood upright. "I was thoroughly disgusted" but said nothing to
: Schwarzenegger, she recalled. "There was drama in the silence of it,"
: she said. "He looked up, and it looked like I was threatening (him)
: with the coffee pot."
:
: Everyone at the table then glanced over at the restaurant owner, Andre
: Driollet. He wagged his finger at the waitress, she said, apparently
: fearful that she was going to dump the coffee on Schwarzenegger.
:
: "I was so appalled, and when Andre looked at me (as if) to say you
: better not, I immediately went to him to tell him what happened," she
: recounted. What Schwarzenegger had said "was above and beyond what was
: acceptable. I think he should have had hot coffee poured in his lap."
:
: Driollet, who according to a relative is living on a boat in the
: Caribbean, could not be reached. In interviews with the Times, two
: friends of the waitress said she told them of the incident long ago.
:
: The waitress said she told Schwarzenegger at the time: "If you're ever
: some place and some woman throws hot coffee on your head, it will be
: me." He laughed, she said.
:
: "He thought it was the funniest thing. And then the whole table
: laughed because, if Arnold laughed, the whole table laughed."
