Actor-cum-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted that there is truth in claims of his 'inappropriate behaviour' towards women, but he is now turning over a new leaf.

He would not go as far as saying that he is a serial groper, but admits that there is "no smoke without fire" and so he is taking steps to relieve himself of his habits.

He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I learned my lesson. I had several harassment lessons ... I know now what can be said and what can't be said.

"Now I would not even tell someone I like their outfit. It could go south."

On hearing about claims from sixteen individual women against her husband, Maria Shriver said: "This was painful. Flat-out tough, painful, no doubt about it. You have to know your own truth. You have to know the person in front of you."
