However, seeing the evolving times, the actor has come to realize just how many mistakes he made. From the cheating scandals to the misbehavior, a lot of it was left unseen by everyone around him.
“When I became governor, I wanted to make sure that no one, including me, ever makes this mistake,” he stated. “That’s why we took sexual harassment courses, to have a clear understanding, from a legal point of view and also from a regular-behavior point of view, of what is accepted and what is not.”
The actor confirmed that he underwent courses to make himself and his team aware of the dos and don’ts in terms of behavior and what is acceptable. He knew that the only way to learn about his mistakes was via apologizing for them. Schwarzenegger admitted to having crossed the line many times and is deeply sorry about it.
