Arnold's Ex-Gal Pal: Recent or Not?

Gigi Jeffers has a few things on her mind about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This would be the same Arnold who the Drudge Report now says is the subject of an unaired ABC News report which would label him a racist.

This is the same Arnold who expressed little regret over his 1977 interview with Peter Manso, published in Oui magazine, detailing orgies and drug use in which he participated.

Yes. It's the same Arnold who wants to be elected governor of California on Oct. 7. Everyone's after him. Everyone wants to take Arnold down. It doesn't matter if he's a liberal or a conservative. It's all about character.

Schwarzenegger must have known this was going to happen when he declared his candidacy on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Premiere magazine already discussed a passel of accusations against him two years ago.

Alas, there's more.

Two years ago, the National Enquirer ran a story about a California woman named Gigi Goyette. They said she was his current mistress, and had been since she was 16 and he was 26.

That means this would have started around 1975. Arnold was not married then. But Goyette was certainly underage.

Goyette, who now goes by the name Jeffers, is now 44 years old. I spoke to her on Friday. She says that since the Enquirer story, Arnold has not spoken to her.

Even worse, he fired her from his company and has refused to speak with her ever since.

But Gigi, who lives in Malibu, Calif. and is the mother of a teenager, told me both Arnold and the Enquirer were wrong about everything.

I'm going to tell you what she said. But my sources insist that Gigi and Arnold were involved on a romantic level from 1975 until three years ago.

First, Gigi addresses the Enquirer's story.

"I broke off my affair with Arnold when he married Maria [Shriver]. It never started up again," she insists. "I told him I didn't believe in that."

Instead, she went to work for him. When the article broke in the tabloid, she says they got it wrong that she said it only recently ended.

Not true, she protests.

Gigi is writing a book, of course. She says no one in publishing wants to touch it, but my guess is if it's juicy enough, and gives a lot of good Hollywood dish, Gigi will find a publisher for her memoirs. And why shouldn't she?

As for Arnold, the revelations just keep on coming from the left and the right. The only person who doesn't seem to have anything on him is Warren Buffet. But will any of this thwart the Schwarzenegger campaign? It seems unlikely.

Rob Stutzman, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, says of Jeffers: "The campaign is not being distracted by tabloid-driven rumors."

When Ben Stiller called out the name "Cruz Bustamante" at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, there was dead silence in Radio City Music Hall. I don't think there would have been much difference if he'd said "Peter Ueberroth" or "Gary Coleman."

Well, maybe "Gary Coleman."

Meanwhile, British celebrity hunter Wendy Leigh is getting a lot of interest in her now out-of-print book about Arnold. Leigh, famous for dragging skeletons out of closets, says she probably won't republish until after the California election.

But the hunt is on nationwide for copies of "Arnold: An Unauthorized Biography." Much will be made of Arnold's friendships with other weightlifters, both dead and alive.

The dirt just keeps coming. I would like to see Governor Arnie, but this is going to have a cumalative effect. Democrats are saving the best stuff for the week of the election. I have read the Wendy Leigh book. It isnt that explosive but I am surprised excerpts havent made their way to the web yet.

Pictures???

[DoughtyOne]

I think your time frame for the real dirt is accurate. However this article freely admits that the focus of this article denies that Schwarzenegger cheated on his wife with her. Despite that denial, this guy just had to air the charges one more time.

Schwarzenegger may have had an affair with this woman. Okay. Was she of the legal age of consent or not? If she was, what is the fuss all about?

If they got together every so often over the years and had sex, is that really a scandle? Oh my, this is getting so childish that I can only ask, what next?

[My2Cents]

At what point are we going to let the Democrats know that this kind of tactic is no longer going to work?

[george wythe]

The dirt rumors just keeps coming.

25-year-old dirt embellished for political reasons.

So far, Schwarzenegger seems to be cleaner than I expected.

He had sex and smoked pot and used steroids . . . is that all they have on him?

[hchutch]

Agreed. The tactics used by some here to smear Arnold are getting disgusting, IMHO.

Disagreeing with him on issue - fine, I can deal with that. But this has crossed that line, and I'm getting sick of it.

[sheik yerbouty]

Ric Wayne was likely a wannabe(in Wayne's mind)gal pal to Arnold. but was probably told to get lost.

[ambrose]

But Goyette was certainly underage.

[lainie]

At what point are we going to let the Democrats know that this kind of tactic is no longer going to work?

I figure, once they've done their worst and he gets elected anyway. But they won't learn from it.

[ambrose]

is that all they have on him?

Nope.

[ambrose]

Disagreeing with him on issue - fine, I can deal with that. But this has crossed that line, and I'm getting sick of it.

Did you get sick of it with Clinton? Were you, like Ahnold, ashamed to be a Republican because of impeachment?

[george wythe]

The Premiere article has been debunked, but you want to believe it.

No sense in rehashing old news.

[PokeyJoe]

Gosh, doesn't that sound like Bill?

Maybe we should start our own "moveon.org" but call it "getalife.org."

We've got the spin already made. We just have to recycle the stuff that George Snuffleupigus and The Serpent used against Gennifer, Paula, Diane, Vivian, Juanita, Lucy, Barbara (the 15 year old), Barbara (the singer), Hillary (no wait, he's married to her - doesn't count) . . .

[MineralMan]

I wonder how we'd all be reacting if these stories were attached to a Dem candidate. I suspect somewhat differently.

All of this is, of course, beside the point, which is that Ahnuld is not a Republican. He's a liberal Democrat masquerading as a Republican.

Them are the facts. Hear me now and believe me later.

[Republicus2001]

my god man don't you know he's even admitted to using cigars? and has even been seen in public smoking cigars! aarrgghh! horrors and shame...what will we do? I'm not sure about this election, it's too confusing and I might not know where to vote...should I go to the polling place I always go to? or what..my hands have almost disappeared from the wringing ... sob sob, what will we ever do?

[ambrose]

The Premiere article has been debunked, but you want to believe it.

By whom? Source?

No sense in rehashing old news.

Yup, nothing to see here. Move on. Blah.

[hchutch]

My beef with Clinton was the perjury and abuse of power.

I was NOT ashamed that the GOP pursued impeachment in 1998, although I wish they had been a lot smarter in the way they went about it.

[lilylangtree]

Appears Termite = Bubba for money, sex and scandal.

[isthisnickcool]

Looks like your link was to the Premiere Magazine "article" about Arnold. Which is the crux of most of the claptrap about him. The Premiere Magazine article has been ripped to shreds already. Where have you been?
