Schwarzenegger, in San Diego to kick off a four-day bus tour of the state, took the stage Thursday to chants of "Arnold, Arnold" and immediately addressed the Times story.
Without mentioning specifics, he admitted to wrongdoing and apologized.
"A lot of those that you see in the stories is not true, but at the same time, I have to tell you that I always say, that wherever there is smoke, there is fire," he said.

Three of the women quoted in the times said Schwarzenegger grabbed their breasts. Another said he reached under her skirt and grabbed her buttocks. Another woman said Schwarzenegger tried to remove her bathing suit in a hotel elevator, and the sixth said Schwarzenegger pulled her onto his lap and asked whether a certain sexual act had ever been performed on her.
