Baena apparently told a friend that Schwarzenegger was rather 'grabby' with her around the property, and that she enjoyed it.
Nora Montes, whose daughter was married to Baena's eldest son until 2009, told the New York Every day News: 'Mildred stated he had lengthy hands. He would grab her behind typically.
'She liked the focus.'
Schwarzenegger is mentioned to have showered his lovechild with gifts, as well as took him on vacation with his wife and youngsters to Maria Shriver.

Arnold is stated to have offered the 14-year-old boy Joseph a pass to Universal Studios and was godfather to the boy’s older brother Roger.
Baena’s former daughter-in-law, Nora Vela, told the New York Post: ‘We believed it was strange that he was so lavish with them. Roger and [Mildred’s son with Arnold] would get all of these gifts and then they would go on vacations with Arnold, Maria and their kids.’
It also emerged yesterday that Schwarzenegger made a $65,000 (£39,000) down payment on a residence for the former housekeeper much less than a year ago.
