The Terminator, indeed!
One of the most high-profile nanny scandals in history occurred under Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's household. Arnold ended his marriage by cheating on his wife with the housekeeper for 20 years of their 25 years of marriage at the time of the divorce. The death knell rang when it was revealed that Schwarzenegger fathered a kid with Shriver's longtime confidante, Mildred Baena. The political power partnership disintegrated the day after his California governorship ended. Shriver's therapist inquired if Joseph Baena was his child during couples counseling. “It's true,” he said.

Elena Mincheva is a Russian native who became a high-end nanny, contributed to this nanny story. She authored a memoir called “Millionaire Nanny” based on her experiences. She spills the drama anonymously, revealing the unbelievable day-to-day events of an affluent but poisonous family.

Another bizarre anecdote she tells us about how her wife made her feed a 7-year-old boy with a spoon.
