Arnold's Red Carpet Family Drama: Joseph Baena Excluded from Premier Photo
SCANDALOUS FAMILY FEUD ERUPTS AT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER'S FUBAR PREMIERE
In a shocking display of family drama, Arnold Schwarzenegger's family reunion at the premiere of season two of his Netflix action comedy Fubar descended into chaos as one of his children was deliberately snubbed. The 77-year-old Terminator star and his four oldest kids, Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher, walked the red carpet together, but Joseph Baena, his 27-year-old love child with former family housekeeper Mildred Baena, was noticeably absent from any family photos.
The tension was palpable as Schwarzenegger's children and their spouses posed for pictures, while Joseph's presence was limited to a brief appearance alongside his father. The absence of the other siblings from Joseph's photo ops was a clear indication that the family still struggles with the aftermath of Arnold's infamous affair.
Schwarzenegger's oldest children, all dressed in black, stuck together like glue, while Patrick, known for his impeccable style, awkwardly paired his pinstriped suit jacket with a tie made from the same striped material. Katherine looked stunning in a single-shoulder blouse and pointy heels, but her half-brother Joseph seemed to steal the show with his effortlessly cool look.
The drama at the premiere was reminiscent of two years ago, when Joseph's parents, Arnold and Mildred, attended the first season's premiere together, without any siblings in sight. The atmosphere was strained, with none of the other family members making an effort to interact with their half-brother.
According to a source close to the family, Arnold has always treated Joseph like one of his own children, paying for his education and even buying Mildred a house. However, it appears that the other kids have yet to forgive their father's infidelity.
The source told The Scholarly Note.com that "the other kids take [Joseph] out on Joe." This sentiment was echoed by Maria Shriver, Arnold's ex-wife, who revealed in an interview last month that she has found a way to co-parent their children with the actor. She shared her newfound appreciation for forgiveness, saying, "We laugh a lot about our kids, our grandkids, ourselves... And we are proud of the fact that we are still in conversation. For almost 50 years!"
Schwarzenegger's family drama continues to unfold, with Joseph seemingly stuck on the periphery. In a rare display of affection, Arnold was seen resting his head on Joseph's girlfriend, Dutch model Mel, inside the theater. However, there were no signs of familial connection between Patrick and Joseph since their 2021 workout together.
In a surprising move, Joseph publicly congratulated Katherine on her wedding to Chris Pratt in 2019, despite not being invited to the ceremony. Katherine failed to respond or acknowledge the gesture, leaving many wondering if the family is truly united.
The premiere of Fubar season two marked another awkward encounter between Arnold's children, with Joseph seemingly trapped in a never-ending cycle of family drama. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether the Schwarzenegger clan will ever fully reconcile their differences and move forward as one happy family.
