Radar and Star Magazine have an inevitable follow-up in their story of Arnold’s housekeeper mistress. (When I first started writing this story I wrote “Mel’s mistress,” just look at the URL.) According to Radar, the woman threatened to go public with her story when Arnold fired her for some reason just a month ago. This doesn’t jibe with the timeline of when Arnold supposedly told Maria about his 14 year-old lovechild in January. I would think he would have kept this a secret as he’s done for years unless the mistress threatened to tell her. It’s still confusing to me, and this account may come straight from the mistress, who could be changing the timeline to make herself seem like the wronged party. Publicly she’s sort-of defended Arnold, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been selling her story behind the scenes. It’s also possible that Arnold didn’t tell Maria until the sh*t was about to hit the fan and tried to spin like he told her back when they first separated. Here’s Radar’s report:
The mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love child threatened to go public with sordid details of their illicit affair — all because the Governator TERMINATED her employment.
A blockbuster RadarOnline.com and Star Magazine joint investigation has uncovered the real reason behind the former California’s governor’s admission that he fathered a son out of wedlock — it was because a shameful Schwarzenegger fired his mistress from her job as a housekeeper in a desperate attempt to save his marriage to wife Maria Shriver.
The woman, Mildred Patricia Baena, known as “Patty,” was identified for the first time in our world exclusive report.
To protect his privacy, RadarOnline.com is not publishing the teenager’s name.
“Mildred was furious that the father of her 14-year-old son would callously fire her from her job after decades of loyal service,” one of the Mildred’s closest confidantes told RadarOnline.com, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“She admitted to friends how she finally wanted to tell the secret — that she had kept faithfully for 14 years — to the world.”
Mildred even entertained the idea of coming forward and speaking with a magazine, the source said.
“It was a nuclear blow-up between her and Arnold,” said the pal.
It’s not known if the Mildred’s tell-all plan was ever executed or whether the threat prompted 63-year-old Schwarzenegger’s disclosure about his illegitimate child.
What’s clear, however, is that this revelation is in direct contradiction to claims that the ex-maid ‘retired’ in January after two decades working at the Schwarzenegger/Shriver estate in Brentwood, California.
“Mildred did not retire… she was working for Arnold and Maria until about four weeks ago,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
“But all of a sudden and out of nowhere, she was told there was no longer work for her.”
Said the insider: “Mildred took it hard.”
The woman’s apparent move to go public is particularly noteworthy given she had remained silent for so long about what inevitably has become one of the most scandalous political and Hollywood cover-ups.

I still don’t get why Arnold supposedly told Maria back in January if this woman only threatened to go public a month ago. The whole thing is fishy.
Never one to give Radar credit for running an exclusive, TMZ posted this woman’s MySpace photos after a lead from The Daily Mail and put their logo all over them and acted like they had the exclusive. They also repeated already published information about her without crediting their sources. (I’m really surprised she hasn’t deleted her MySpace yet, but it’s still before 9 on the West Coast and maybe she’s sleeping in. It’s also possible she created it with an old email address she doesn’t have access to anymore.)
TMZ does have an exclusive (from what I can tell, who knows where they got the pics) with photos of this woman’s baby shower back when she was pregnant by Arnold. (At the same time that Maria Shriver was pregnant with her last.) To answer the question that many of you have been asking – no, she wasn’t a lot cuter 14 years ago. Is that harsh? Probably.
