If you do not want the public to scrutinize your life, you will lead an unassuming existence. If you want your privacy, you won't put your relationships on display.
Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo (1905-1990) was a movie star who is attributed the term: “I want to be alone,” when she actually sais “'I want to be let alone,” After she decided to stop acting, and for the most part the media left her alone only occasionally publishing glimpses of the reclusive Garbo.
However today public personalities like Maria Shriver, Britny Spear and even that perennial know nothing news hound Sarah Palin want to maintain the benefits of being a celebrity with the the right to privacy afforded to us ordinary folk.
I’m a post modernist feminist, I understand that we have come a long way while still being subjected to attempted domination by males. Therefore I am not going to carry the: “Poor Maria Was A Victim” Banner.
The question that is on everyone’s mind is:
What did Maria Shriver really know About Mildred Baena and when did she know it?
Yes I KNOW that the media asserts that Maria was blindsided by her husband’s revelation of fathering a child with another woman, but was she really?
Here are facts that I’ve gleaned from reports:
1. They were both pregnant at virtually the same time. Baena gave birth only days before Shriver did.
2. Baena continued working for Shriver while pregnant.
3. Maria was having dinner with Oprah and her gal pal Gayle when news came that TMZ was going to reveal the affair.
So why did Maria Shriver wait until TMZ was going to break the story if she knew of Arnold’s indiscretion since last January? If the story hadn’t been broken would Shriver still be playing this charade? In a way I think so.
Many people are now blaming Baena. However I don’t, she is a single mother trying to, as we say in the city: “Get Hers.”
