A day after allegations of sexual harassment seemed to ruin Arnold chances for the California governor polls, his wife Maria Shriver came to his rescue saying it was a "family matter" and that her husband's apology on Thursday for "behaving badly" towards women was courageous.
Shriver, a member of the Democratic Kennedy dynasty, defended her Republican husband of 17 years after he was accused of groping and humiliating women over his 30-year career as an actor and bodybuilder.
"Nothing hurts because I know the man I'm married to," the television journalist told reporters at a Republican women's event in Los Angeles where she was campaigning for Schwarzenegger's bid to become governor in Tuesday's polls.
On Thursday, Schwarzenegger told a rally in San Diego, "Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right, that I thought were playful but now I recognise that I have offended people."
