Maria Owings Shriver the 55 year old Peabody award winning journalist author has pleaded for compassion, respect and privacy in the aftermath of her marriage breakdown and separation from bodybuilder actor Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger. Shriver a member of the Kennedy clan was responding to the painful heartbreak resulting from the media coverage to the revelation that her husband had fathered a child 10 years earlier with a long time member of their household staff Mildred Baena. The media hyped ‘love child’ was born just days after Shriver gave birth to one of Schwarzenegger’s sons. Apart from the morality of Schwarzenegger’s actions and the consequences of his secrecy, questions now arise as to the ethics, and issues of consent in the nature of a potentially coercive relationship an employer has with household staff.
