This one is gonna be the problem sidepiece. How do we know: she’s already hired Gloria Allred.
“I represent Gigi Goyette, who had an intimate relationship with Arnold,” Allred said.
The attorney declined to comment on why Goyette is coming forward now or her intentions for going public, but we have pulled together some details.
Gigi Goyette, 52, had success as a kid on Little House on Prairie. She reportedly met and slept with Schwarzenegger back in his 1975 Pumping Iron days.
She was 16 then. He was 28. But that’s beside the point.
After a long layoff, the two reportedly picked things up again and had an affair in 1989, three years after the action star married Maria Shriver.
Goyette, who also goes by Gigi Jeffers, was one of the many women linked to Schwarzenegger as he made his bid for governor of California.
The Los Angeles Times reported that two days before Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy, Gigi Goyette signed a confidentiality agreement.
American Media Inc.. which publishes the National Enquirer, Star and now also owns Radar Online, paid her in $20,000 in exchange for her silence.
Seven months later, Arnold Schwarzenegger loaned his name to the editorial masthead of two bodybuilding magazines owned by the company.
The Times report raised suspicions that Schwarzenegger cut a deal as a quid pro quo for the tabloid publisher quashing reports of his infidelity.
Gigi’s story goes like this: in 1993, she helped Arnold organize his “Arnold Sports Festival” in Ohio. While they were all out there, Arnold allegedly sneaked away from the room he was sharing with poor, unsuspecting Maria, and went down the hall to Gigi’s room, where he proceeded to give her that Austrian Oak.
