The Outsider

isolation-1[Blind Gossip] This very famous actor had an illegitimate child many years ago. While he has gotten to the point that he now openly acknowledges and spends time with that child, his other children are not nearly as accepting.

They have all met their half-sibling… but they definitely see them as an outsider and an interloper. They have also made it very clear that they do not want the half-sibling invited to any family’s events (e.g. birthdays, weddings, graduations).

    That Kennedy family is so uppity! Please. One Hundred years ago, in the Boston area they were regarded as Irish trash. Now they’re too good to associate with a blood relative who happens to be half Mexican? New blood is just what that family needs.

    The Schwarzenegger/Kennedy kids are being totally unreasonable.
    Plus, Patrick shouldn’t be hating on anyone since he’s hiding something very personal about himself.

  2. robynsing says

    They don’t have to acknowledge the illegitimate child’s mother, but it is rather heartless to shun your own blood that way. He’s your brother and it’s mean to leave him out. You can grow to love him and you should want to protect him.

  3. koreanchiq says

    Why must they be accepting? It’s their life and they have the right to choose who’s in it.

  4. Tequila Mama says

    It’s not the kid’s fault that he was conceived through an affair. They should treat him the same as their own family. I understand about Maria not wanting anything to do with him but his siblings are another story. Totally disappointed with the siblings.

  5. VTskibride says

    Yes, they’re being unreasonable and unkind. This kid did not ask for this. He deserves a family. I like Maria a lot. I would hope with all the positive living that she preaches, she (and her kids) would see how awful this is to the “outsider”. Practice what you preach lady. No child deserves to be excluded over something that he/she didn’t create.

  6. lepidoteran says

    It may be disappointing for Joseph, but I can’t really blame the older Schwarzenegger kids. Family is more than shared biology. He was raised with them and is existence was the catalyst for the parents’ breakup. So it would be beyond awkward to have him at birthday parties or whatever. Arnold shouldn’t pressure the older kids. If they choose to get to know him more, they’ll decide what meeting halfway means to them.

  7. MikeInSanJose says

    I can relate – to a degree. I am my father’s oldest son. My step-mother was the woman he had an affair with when he was married to my mother. They had a son (my father’s 4th) and named him Jr., after my father. I had a resentment about that for many years, even though I would hate to share my father’s name, and the kid went through a lot of stuff due to that name.

    Arnold’s Kennedy kids need to get over it. Like it or not, the maid’s kid is their half-sibling and will always be…

  8. chalupacabra says

    I absolutely agree, and as someone who has first hand experience with this issue, I do not think your response is immature. The reality is that Joseph was part of the kids’ lives from the start. They were close with his mom growing up. That said, it doesn’t even matter. Arnold is as much Joseph’s father as theirs, and the circumstances of his birth are not his fault. It’s petty and cruel to punish him for it. I can’t describe how painful it is for a kid to grow up with a parent who…

  10. SilentStar says

    How nice it must be for a man to be able to choose whether or not to acknowledge his own child.

    I agree it’s Arnold and his son with the maid.

    Although the other kids may not like the situation, they need to grow up and deal with it with more maturity. No one gets to choose their parents or how to control how their parents behave. And let’s do away with the obsolete and judgement-filled concept of “legitimacy” while we’re at it. Every child is legitimate.

  12. Aurelia says

    Arnold S-the terminator dude-

    The brood isn’t being reasonable, but, I’m guessing all they care about is the money they’ll get when he kicks the bucket, any inclusion into their world is a threat.

  15. caela94 says

    Arnold and Joseph.

    They will probably be more accepting as they get older.
    Their loyalties are with there mom and she’s hurt by this child’s existence.

  16. srd0909 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger? Looks like him and his son were hanging out for Octoberfest. That’s such a touchy thing for kids in this situation because there is hurt they feel for themselves and also their mom as well. In the end they need to find peace with the situaton because that stuff can eat you up inside!

  17. Sandy24 says

    Schwarzenegger’s kid with the housekeeper?

    Either way that’s * of his half-siblings, he didn’t ask to be born. It’s not his fault. You want to hate his mom, fine but the kid shares no blame in this. Jerks

  18. gingercat says

    This has to be Arnold Schwartznegger (sp?)

    As for the kids, I think it’s a very tough thing, He’s asking them to accept the child he had while cheating on their mother.

  19. Nataliexyz says

    Arnold’s son, Joseph Baena. I’m sure the kids think he’s a non-Kennedy/inferior person. While I understand their anger, he IS their half brother and it’s not his fault he was born! For a Democrat family, they should be inclusive. Oh wait, that’s for other people.

  20. oldstephens says

    No idea who it is.

    The other children sound like whiney spoiled brats and need to grow the eff up.

  22. Camila says

    This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Never saw pictures of his other kids hanging out with their half-sibling.
    They’re being a**holes.

  23. Lilibet says

    I don’t think the actor’s other children are being reasonable at all. They are the ones who ahould be making a special effort to include their sibling. It’s not HIS fault he was born into that situation.

    Then again, if the actor had accepted his child earlier, they might not be so bratty about it now.

  24. jennifer says

    arnold schwarzenegger. and his kids are being *. it’s not joseph’s fault that their father had an affair.

  25. smiller2000 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    It’s not his son’s fault, the family needs to be more accepting. It won’t happen overnight, but they should at least try to start including him.

  27. janique_le_pique says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger. He just visited the Oktoberfest in Germany with his son.

  29. regossip says

    actor: Arnold schwarznaeger and his son Joseph. I do not think he needs to be invited to weddings of half siblings he never knew.

  30. Eltsi says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    Optional: Of course not. No matter what, it is not the child’s fault!

  34. mpizzle says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?!)

    Ive not been in their situation, so it’s hard to say. I see both sides, though.

  38. CherryBomb27 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger’s kid (can’t remember his name)

    Whether it’s him or not, I think the other kids are being unreasonable. It’s not the illegitimate child”s fault that their dad couldn’t stay faithful.

  41. Strides says

    Arnold Swartzenegger (or however you spell it).

    The child is from an affair that broke their parents longstanding marriage. No I don’t think that they are being unreasonable.
    It’s not the child’s fault though.

  44. rexczarina says

    Arnold’s son who looks just like him, fathered with the maid. I’ll give the young man credit, he managed to get accepted into an excellent and expensive college that his dad is most likely paying for. (Pepperdine isn’t a party school.)

  45. fiddlesticks says

    Arnie? No, can’t be him.

    I suppose it would depend on how the actor initially approached the situation. They may have caused this ill feeling

  46. BetteBoo25 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son with the maid. Arnold does seem to favor him over his other kids. Maybe it’s because this kid looks the most like him.

  47. mayer2816 says

    arnold schwarzenegger

    It’s easy to judge but if I were one of the kids, perhaps I would do the same. Not the illegitimate kid’s fault. It’s the father’s betrayal and karma that the new kid has to bear. Shame on you Arnie!

  48. bicarbonat says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger
    Someone’s feelings (in this case, the kid’s) are bound to get hurt in these situations, but I think their feelings are valid. His existence is rooted in adultery that was a symptom of the fractures in their family. Some people may be able to integrate new people into their inner circle, but no johnny come lately could ever graduate up into the ties I have with the sibs I’ve known from BIRTH. I can care about him, but not like that – hell no.

  49. Dbr26354 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Optional: Meh – yes and no. They needn’t go out of their way to be mean to the kid. He didn’t choose to be born and he didn’t choose his parents. If this is how they choose to be then so be it. He should respect their wishes, leave them alone, live his life without apology and be happy. That’s probably easier said than done..

  53. radmom says

    It’s obviously Arnold Schwarzenegger and his look alike son with the housekeeper. As far as the kids are concerned, it might not be reasonable, but it’s understandable. After the story came out, and everybody heard how he bedded the housekeeper in Maria’s bed after she left the house, yuck! Maybe with time they’ll develop a relationship with their half brother, but probably not any time soon.

  54. MrsBreeder says

    Arnold’s son can’t help that he was born. Those children should take the silver spoons out of their mouths and at least try to give him a chance…one day they might need bone marrow or a kidney 🙂

  57. dearwinner83 says

    Arnold Swarzenegger
    No I don’t think they’re getting reasonable. It’s not the kids fault – stop punishing him

  60. Pinky310 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    No. it’s their dads fault not the sons. It happened be adults. Get over it

  61. GayleStorm says

    Actor: I have no idea. Brad Pitt again??

    Do you think that the actor’s other children are being reasonable? Ummm….no! They sound like rotten brats.
    And….from what I read, Brad and Angie’s kids sound very bratty!

  63. isleparadise says

    Arnold schwartzwhatever. I think the kids are siding with Maria, which is understandable. In time, they may come around and accept the half- sibling

  64. luvprue1 says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    Optional: It all depends on how their relationship was before the news broke.

  65. PollyMetropolitan says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger — they have all met the boy since he used to go to work with his mom when she was a housekeeper for the family.

  67. jenvies says

    Ronald Schwartzenagen!

    No, it’s mean. I understand why they are mad, but they need to get over it.

  69. trees4us says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Joseph Baena

    It’s tricky. The kids are probably uncomfortable and trying to protect their mom, Maria. But it is sad when the other kid, in this case Joseph, is punished for his parents actions. Maybe when they get older and more time has passed, they will connect. It is up to Arnold though- he is the one who made things wrong and therefore needs to do the work. It shouldn’t fall on the kids to figure it all out.

    • trees4us says

      Also, it doesn’t help that Joseph and Arnold’s other youngest son have birthdays within a week of each other. :/

  70. slimfast10 says

    Of course this is the governator recently seen in Germany with his ex maids and his love child who is believe it or not now 19. Consideratiing all the embarrassment he caused his entire family I don’t think the kids are being the least bit unreasonable not wanting this young man at family functions he’s lucky they still talk to him.

  73. firefly nights says

    It’s not their fault their dad * the maid. Why should they be punished? Poor kid is literally a daily reminder that their father is the ultimate * boy.

  74. dreameroc says

    Good man Arnold Schwarzenegger! It is not the child’s fault and wonderful he gets to have a relationship with his dad. He looks like a nice boy and will wind up being the best son.
    Oh the hypocrisy of the democratic kennedys shrivers . No wonder they are Clinton supporters. Catholics who believe in abortion and even when child born are cruel to the innocent child ..the one dated Miley was doing drugs, cheating, just like Ted who killed his girlfriend hypocrites ugh
    Arnie the republican -…

  75. Stefanie241805 says

    Arnold

    I do think they’re being unreasonable. I’m sure they were disgusted/angered by their father’s affair. But its hardly their half-brother’s fault that he was the result of the affair. Their mother is part of the Kennedy family. A family known for coming to one another’s aide/defense when needed and when crimes by family members are committed. So it’s pretty sad and pathetic to me that she doesn’t encourage her kids to stand by their half brother.

  77. Goodgrief says

    Ahhnold. I happen to know a family like that. The love child is even about the same age as Joseph. The kids have never met their 1/2 sibling and they are all in their 40’s now. Their dad comes to family get togethers by himself. No one ever mentions the love child even though he is in the fathers life. It is kind of strange, but the kids feel they would be betraying their mom all over again if they did.

  81. realityhooked says

    Swasseneger

    It’s a difficult situation particularly because of their moms feeling

  82. thelasthigh says

    I don’t blame the children for not considering the half-sibling their relative. if they didn’t grow up with him then there’s no bond. if he’s the product of an affair, then they might be protecting their mother’s feelings. it is sad for the child as he didn’t ask to be illegitimate.

    Arnold S & the maid’s son. I don’t blame the kids if they’re not open to a relationship since this surely devastated & humiliated their mother.

  83. goldenhamster says

    Obviously this is about Arnold Schwarzenegger. And shame on his kids for doing this – it is not their half brother’s fault.

  84. dolls4marybeth says

    Arnold and his youngest son. They should be nice to their brother, it’s not his fault.

  86. CevansLeftpec2 says

    Ahnad Schwarzenegger and his son by the maid. His kids are all stuck up snobs that grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths; not surprised they’d behave this way. Poor Joseph though, not his fault his dad’s a scumbag.

  87. ScorpioMommy68 says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    Optional: They’re entitled to their feelings. Obviously, dad’s the one who should have kept his pants zipped up but, he didn’t and it is what it is.

  88. tellmemore says

    Arnold Schwartzeneger
    I have to admit that I wouldn’t be super excited about meeting the physical embodiment of my dad’s infidelity. No, it’s not his fault, but still…

  90. CyndiTx123 says

    Arnold S, had a son with his housekeeper and his kids need to grow up and accept it. It’s not the kids fault…….

  91. 1Bellebottomblues says

    Arnold

    The boy represents a bad time in their lives, bad publicity for the family, humiliation for their mom etc.
    Prob hard to get past that, but its not the boy’s fault. Should they rise above it?
    yea. For themselves and him ( Not for Arnold). Be generous, what do they have to lose.

  93. gailpow says

    Got to be Ahh-nold’s kids. His illegitimate son with the maid seems like a good kid. The other children should try and show a little more respect.

  94. GretaGuesses says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    I can understand the other children’s feelings, but this boy is still their half brother. By all accounts he is a bright guy, motivated, pleasant, etc. He also looks so much like his dad, where the other children don’t.

  95. truebritt says

    Governor Ahhhnold

    While it has to be difficult for the family, they should understood the other son is an innocent in this whole mess and try to be accepting.

  96. Moonpie says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger recently took Joseph to Germany. They both looked very happy. Glad to see Arnold openly support his child. His other children are probably being protective of their mother as well as jealous that the ‘interloper’ is more a Schwarzenegger than any of them combined. Their behavior is understandable albeit petty. I hope Arnold leaves his child a huge chunk of money because Maria will take care of her end. Also, those kids will regret excluding Joseph as blood.

  100. omma89 says

    The actor is Arnold Schwarzenegger who has been photographed recently with his son. His kids with Maria Shriver are acting like typical Kennedy brats.

  101. Jester says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    It’s got to be difficult for the kids due to the circumstances. I can’t really blame them for having their feelings neither. I would be weirded out, too.

  102. GiveUpTheGossip says

    Arnold Swarzenegger
    I see both sides…hard for bio kids because dad had an affair on Mom…but it’s not the illegitimate kid’s fault.
    It’s funny how that kid looks the most like Arnold. As long as I was in the will, I wouldn’t care!

  106. WaitLemmeGuess says

    Arnie S. and Joseph Baena, (the child by his housekeeper.) The other kids are being petty. Babies aren’t delivered by storks. Arnie is his father and if they want a father and son relationship, they should be able to have one. Those who care about them will accept it and be happy for them.

  107. MommyPalooza says

    Arnold S. No, they aren’t being reasonable. It’s not the kid’s fault. Hopefully as they mature they’ll reach out to him and want to include him.

  109. silence1534 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    They probably feel like they were betrayed as well, they were a family and his multiple infedilities were no secret. They shouldn’t take it out on Joseph, he didn’t ask to be put in the situation; but I understand why they’re not okay with it right now.

  111. JillyBean says

    Schwarzenegger.

    [Optional]: My “half” brother entered the world under less controversial circumstances and I wasn’t too happy about it, at the time. These days, there’s no distinction: I love him just as much as my other siblings and I’d do anything for them. 🙂

    But I get it. Not saying it’s his fault, but Baena is a walking reminder of why their family fell apart.

  117. Kricket1 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger – and his maids son –

    Its not the boys fault but the other children really would not have any reason to feel close to the boy either – so can’t blame them –

  123. StaciB says

    Arnold Shwarzenergger

    They probably saw their mother’s hurt when she found out, so they don;t want to hurt her any further. Not the child’s fault though

  125. throwsumshade says

    Ahnuld and his love child. I can understand how they feel, given the circumstances. They may be worried about splitting the inheritance with another person.

    • giggles says

      I think they’re more concerned with splitting their time with someone they don’t know, are somehow publicly mandated to know because they are related,and sharing him with a dad who cheated on their mom and lied about it. I’m pretty sure money is the last thing on their mind. Betrayal, awkwardness, and the media scrutiny however…

  127. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Joseph Baena

    I don’t think that the other children (grown adults) are being reasonable. However I understand why they don’t want him around.

  128. bhakti says

    Arnold S
    Yeah dad’s a cheater. It’s not the kid’s fault, but they are loyal to mom, Maria.

  129. kassady says

    Arnold

    Optional – Yes. Dad knocking up the nanny (or housekeeper or his secretary or the neighbor or whatever) doesn’t make the kid a sibling automatically.

  130. Realistic says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    I mean I kinda see both sides, but if they were able to forgive their father (who committed the indiscretion) then why can’t they have a relationship with their brother who has no fault in this?

  134. PinkCrayon says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    That kid looks JUST like him! It probably drives them crazy every time they see dad with him. It’s not reasonable, but understandable.

  135. Alllie says

    arnie and his new son Joseph. no not unreasonable, that is embarrassing and sick betrayal when daddy knew he was the father all along and living with them! super creepy at best.

  136. Ohmysmh says

    grow up its your new reality, life is short embrace him or Arnie you raised a bunch of bigots

  139. kvetro60 says

    This would be Arnold’s illegitimate kid. It’s not the son’s fault Arnold was cheating on Maria. I guess they don’t want to split the $$$

    • prinny says

      Its always about the money. Sheesh, Maria has plenty of Kennedy money that will be solely theirs…

  141. Poubelle says

    The Kennedy kids (and Maria Shriver) must be horrified at the thought of Joseph Baena being around. However, if young Baena is smart, he will refuse himself.

    • giggles says

      I’m pretty certain if my dad cheated on my mom with the maid and had a kid, I wouldn’t be warm and fuzzy towards them either. Just because you share a dad doesn’t mean you have to share a connection with the half-sibling. And why is it selfish to be less than happy with the situation?

  143. TeaDrinker says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    They’re being unreasonable. They’re all adults (or nearly!) at this point. Poor kid didn’t ask to be born.

    • giggles says

      so only the maid’s child is allowed feelings? seems rather harsh to expect children or adults to forge a happy relationship with the offspring of the woman your dad cheated with. Cut them some slack. Life isn’t a hollywood movie.

  144. Monysmom says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    [Optional] Do you think that the actor’s other children are being reasonable? I don’t think they are being UN-reasonable, given that Arnold cheated on and lied to their mom

  145. justme04 says

    Arnold schwarzenegger. He just had father and son bonding time with his son by the former housekeeper.

    I can see why they wouldn’t be so inviting toward the boy since he was conceived when his father cheated on their mother. I mean that has to hurt.

  146. ashanean says

    Actor Arnold Schwarenegger.
    Son Joseph Baena.
    They are in Europe celebrating Oktoberfest.

    Nah the kids have a right to how they feel. He cheated on their mother and hey feel betrayed. Believe you me, I know they feel about half siblings. It will take a long time if ever to get over the betrayal.

  149. Prettysure says

    It is not his fault he exists so I would be inclusive. I have been excluded from my ex-s family after a amicable divorce-not nice.

  152. dannithewomani says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger… Are his kids being reasonable?… It hasn’t been that long, give them time. They might still be angry at him for cheating on their mom.

  153. thekingsqueen says

    Eddie Murphy

    No, the other kids aren’t being reasonable,that is still their sibling. So sad!

    • giggles says

      shared genetics doesn’t mandate friendship or any obligation of connection and it’s sad how many people are under the impression that it does

    • LooLoo says

      No, but it should, especially when it’s a young person involved. That kid didn’t ask for all of the media hoopla around him. The Swartzenegger kids should have helped him through it and tried to forge a relationship. They sound spoiled and ridiculous to me.

    • thekingsqueen says

      Hi Giggles-

      Not saying that it does, but they shouldn’t take their frustrations out on the other sibling, especially since he/she didn’t ask to be put in that situation. Why aren’t they mad at dad? He’s the one who broke the marriage vows and put them all in that situation to begin with.

  158. stolidog says

    Arnold Schwartenwhatever.
    No, the legitimate children are being spoiled brats, and probably call him the maid’s son whenever they get the chance.

    • giggles says

      That’s a lot of assumptions in one statement.

      First just because you are genetically linked to a person does not mandate that you somehow should magically be close and besties with them. Arnold had an affair. The child and the mother flaunted themselves all over the media. The fact Arnold acknowledges the child is a good thing. But your assumption that the children are disrespectful towards him speaks more about you than it does them. Finally, he is Actually the maid’s son.

    • Keeping Honest says

      They’re taking it out on him by not even asking him to come to Arnold’s birthday dinner. So yes they’re being a little disrespectful. Even if my husband had another child through an affair you better believe I’d invite him to all events after given a little time to heal. I think people are taking it as if the other kids are making sure the half brother knows he’s the maid’s son. But the fact Joseph is considered by his teachers and peers as a hardworking, and loving young man… He’s…

  163. Crisesaverted says

    I know the actor but I can’t spell his name. Arnold the bodybuilder/governor. It’s nice that he is open about seeing his son publicly.

  167. Sour Lemon says

    Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger

    I don’t think his children are being unreasonable. They didn’t ask for this. Arnold created this situation by impregnating the housekeeper. Instead of cleaning the house, she was cleaning his pipes.

    He should keep his dealings with his love child private. I think it’s in poor taste, the recent photo he took with his illegitimate son in which they are in Germany, drinking a beer together. Why make the photo public?

    • Moonpie says

      So hide himself and the child. Where do you suggest, the basement? Send him off to the moon. I don’t think the kid’s reaction is unusual, they are being loyal to their mother and their family which was betrayed by Arnold’s actions. OK, done. He’s taken full responsiblity and now it’s time to move on and live. The kid has parents just like Arnold’s children have parents. All his kids (All) deserve to have their father in their lives. Joseph is good hearted thank goodness, his…

    • just guessing in brooklyn says

      I disagree with characterizing her as trashing and using her son for attention, hype and money. She kept him a secret for years and it was the media, not her, that made the facts public. Moreover, she was his employee and there was a significant power differential between them. She could have felt intimidated and that her job was at stake if she didn’t give in to him.

    • just guessing in brooklyn says

      *trashy*
      And obviously in the second half the “him” I’m referring to is Schwarzenegger.

    • blondie929 says

      I find Sour’s comment disgusting. The kid had no say in his parents transgressions and didn’t ask for any of this. To hide him away (which is what happened until it was uncovered by the media) is just gross and dehumanizing. And it is crappy of Arnold’s other children to take their anger out on their half-brother.

    • Sour Lemon says

      I don’t know why you find my comment disgusting but let’s be civilized and not attack others for their opinions on a matter. So let me explain it again. The child that was a product of an affair is not at fault here. Arnold is doing the right thing by spending time with his son. Arnold is doing the proper thing under these circumstance. However, posting pictures with his illegitimate son at this point may be be a tad too soon for his children with Maria to handle. It’s all about timing.

    • LooLoo says

      You know, I’ve known two people who found out that their father had an affair and that they had a half sibling. In both cases, they were excited to find out that they had another sibling. They weren’t happy with their dads for having an affair, but both reached out to the half-sibling to create a relationship with them. I’ve also known someone who was the product of an affair, and he reached out as an adult to his half-siblings,and they embraced him as a family member. That’s the adult…

    • luvprue1 says

      I don’t blame the kid , it’s not his fault. However Arnold do have an obligation to him, but his kids do not. So Arnold can see him,hang out with him and be a father to him,but no one should expect his kids to.

      I would like to know what the father who raised him think of all this?

    • Squeezes99 says

      I think it’s important for a public figure to acknowledge, publicly, any “illegitimate” child. It’s very important to the child’s self-esteem. The other children are showing their lack of character by giving their half-sibling the cold shoulder. Yes, it’s painful to acknowledge, but they should be thinking about the real victim’s feelings (their half-sibling). He didn’t ask to be born.

      They live in California. They don’t care about color. It’s their Kennedy snottiness rearing its ugly head. (Damn, how many generations does it take to breed that out?)

      I don’t think they should be mean to the kid. It’s not his fault their mutual dad is an a**

      Not sure the kennedys can ever take the high road what with their chronic cheating, addictions, murders, suicides, mental illness and the like there’s not much to admire about them.

      ^^This and it’s just sad. It’s not the boy’s fault and the children should be a little more accepting of their brother.

      Not when the mother and kid seem to parade it around in public and media. It’s pretty disrespectful to Maria.

    • Vampira says

      People seem to forget that the maid was also married at the time, and it’s disrespectful to him, too.

    • Parade says

      Maria has no self respect, if she did she would divorce him. It’s not because of religion that she isn’t divorced either, she can divorce, she just can’t remarry in the church.

      So Joseph is supposed to hide and Arnold can’t be open about his relationship with his son because these indulged twits can’t move on? Their mother has, and Joseph is as much Arnold’s child as any of his other children are. I can understand needing a period of adjustment after the news broke, but still holding the affair against an innocent half-sibling years later is ridiculous.

      “Parade it around in public” ?? You mean like, Living? Living their lives, going outside, doing life things, despite cameras following them now and then because of Arnold’s fame? pff
      Anyway, blood doesn’t make family. It’s too bad they aren’t interested in knowing him though- it’s not his fault he exists. Seems like a nice kid.
