Hollywood women. I think he has many enemies who will be out to get him.
Hollywood's battle of the sexes over Arnold
Movie industry women are working to expose the actor's sexual misbehavior, while men are protecting him. Their efforts have led at least some of his victims to come forward, but will voters care?

Oct. 6, 2003 | LOS ANGELES -- The minute Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he was running for California governor Aug. 6, all of Hollywood knew that tales of his womanizing would make headlines again. The prospect of news cameras zooming in on Schwarzenegger's private life was supposedly the big reason his wife, Maria Shriver, had reservations about his running. There had been plenty of stories about the actor's high jinks even before he'd officially become a politician: In March 2001 Premiere magazine printed a now-notorious article by writer John Connolly that featured named and unnamed sources detailing instances in which the actor groped women's breasts, bullied and humiliated assistants and crew members on movie sets, and cheated on Shriver.
Years earlier Connolly had revealed, in an October 1993 US magazine, that several women who worked for famed Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss had auditioned for Schwarzenegger's unsuccessful movie "The Last Action Hero." The Los Angeles Times reported that Columbia Pictures' parent company Sony was investigating whether these women were hired as "extras" on the overbudget movie. Around the same time, a French women's magazine reported that one of Heidi's women claimed the muscleman himself was a client while on the set of "Last Action Hero." Schwarzenegger sued and won under France's stringent libel laws, but with the actor's sudden entry into the recall race, all the old stories were being chased again.
The whole month of August, I watched the recall story swirl around me, as a spectator, not a reporter. While many of my colleagues were covering Arnold, I was putting the finishing touches on my book, "Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood: Edie and Lew Wasserman and Their Entertainment Empire" (Carroll & Graf). It turned out that my seat on the sidelines gave me a remarkable view of one of the more riveting stories in town: how the media chased the women whom Schwarzenegger allegedly chased (or groped, fondled or harassed, depending on the source), and how a platoon of Hollywood women labored to bring forth their stories.
