That was in 2003, a few days before the California gubernatorial election. The Los Angeles Times threw a pavement in the pond by revealing that six women accused Arnold Schwarzenegger of touching. Other women then broke silent, bringing the number of accusers to 15. At the time, the Terminator actor denied outright, arguing that these allegations were "fabricated" and that he had "never groped anyone". He admitted, however, that he had "sometimes misbehaved".

In the new Netflix documentary series that traces the journey from bodybuilding champion to politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to this scandal and apologized. "At first, I was a little defensive. Today, I can look things in the face and tell myself that the era does not matter. Whether it was in the days of Muscle Beach (the birthplace of bodybuilding in Venice, Los Angeles), forty years ago, or today, it was not good. It was. Forget all the excuses I could come out, it was wrong, "said the actor.

Little impact on the election

In the three-part documentary Arnold, which will air on Netflix on June 7, Los Angeles Times reporter behind the investigation, Carla Hall, also speaks out. "I was surprised that it didn't have more impact on the election. I thought there would be more shocked people," she said.

Arnold Schwarzenegger won the election despite these accusations, and served as California's 38th governor from 2003 to 2011. His acting career did not suffer either. He is also on the poster Fubar, on Netflix.
