Arnold Schwarzenegger, a well-known actor in Hollywood and former bodybuilder, has been accused by multiple women of engaging in s**ual misconduct.
Schwarzenegger rose to fame with films like Conan the Barbarian (1982) and went on to star in various other movies such as the Terminator series and Predator.
In addition to his successful acting career, Schwarzenegger served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011.
Despite being regarded as one of the most influential individuals in the world, he now finds himself embroiled in controversy due to these allegations.
The incident has been dubbed “Gropegate.”
According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, six women have come forward, sharing their experiences of Schwarzenegger inappropriately touching them without their consent.
The report details that three of the women were taken aback and made uncomfortable when Schwarzenegger grabbed their bre-sts.
Another woman claimed that he reached under her skirt and squeezed her buttocks.
One of the accusers stated that Schwarzenegger groped her and attempted to remove her bathing suit in an elevator at a hotel.
Another woman claimed that he pulled her onto his lap and questioned whether a specific s**ual act had ever been performed on her.
In response to these allegations, Schwarzenegger appeared on the ABC Evening News and spoke with Peter Jennings.
While he admitted that he could not recall specific events from 20 or 15 years ago, he acknowledged that some of the accusations sounded like something he might have done.
He expressed remorse for any offense caused and apologized to those who felt violated.
Schwarzenegger also raised questions about the timing of these allegations, suggesting that it was peculiar that numerous women suddenly sought an apology just days before an election campaign.
He wondered why nobody had previously approached him to express discomfort or set boundaries.
