‘Sorry for Groping’: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Confession in Netflix Docuseries

In a new Netflix documentary series, Arnold Schwarzenegger apologizes for groping women in the past. The documentary, titled “Arnold,” explores the actor and former California governor’s life and career. In one episode, Schwarzenegger addresses the allegations of sexual misconduct that have been made against him.

Rolling Stone quoted him as saying, “I have apologized for my behavior in the past, and I want to apologize again,” Schwarzenegger says in the documentary. “It was wrong, and there is no excuse. I have learned from my mistakes, and I am committed to being a better person.”

The allegations of sexual misconduct against Schwarzenegger first surfaced in 2003, when six women accused him of groping them. Schwarzenegger denied the allegations at the time, but he later admitted to groping one woman in the 1970s.

In the documentary, Schwarzenegger says that he has “a lot of regrets” about his past behavior. “I have made mistakes, and I have hurt people,” he says. “I am sorry for that.”

Schwarzenegger’s apology for groping women has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised him for taking responsibility for his actions, while others have criticized him for not apologizing sooner.

The documentary “Arnold” is currently streaming on Netflix.

Here are some additional details about the allegations against Schwarzenegger:

• In 2003, six women accused Schwarzenegger of groping them at various events over the years. The women said that Schwarzenegger touched them inappropriately without their consent.
• Schwarzenegger denied the allegations at the time, but he later admitted to groping one woman in the 1970s. Schwarzenegger said that he was drunk at the time and that he regretted his actions.
• The allegations against Schwarzenegger resurfaced in 2018, after the #MeToo movement began to gain momentum. Several women came forward to accuse Schwarzenegger of sexual misconduct.
• Schwarzenegger has not been charged with any crimes related to the allegations against him.

In addition to the allegations of sexual misconduct, Schwarzenegger has also been criticized for his treatment of his ex-wife, Maria Shriver. Shriver filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger in 2011 after it was revealed that he had fathered a child with a woman other than Shriver.

Schwarzenegger has apologized for his actions in the past, but he has not always been forthcoming about his mistakes. His apology in the Netflix documentary is a step in the right direction, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to fully repair the damage that he has done.
