8 Shocking Latino Celebrity Scandals and the Aftermath!

We were all shocked (shocked!) when we heard about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair with his Guatemalan housekeeper Mildred Particia Baena. His wife, Maria Shriver, seems determined to get a divorce, while Baena has remained silent and kept herself out of the public eye.

Michelle Rodriguez
M.Rod has had her share of ups and downs, but the Dominican/Puerto Rican actress always seems to rise above the drama. But back on December 1, 2005, Rodriguez was arrested on DUI charges while filming for Lost and eventually served 18 days of jail after she was found to be in violation of her probation in 2007. We were a bit worried she might not be able to climb her way back to the top of the Hollywood game, but boy, were we wrong! Since then, Rodriguez has made a concerted effort to clean up her image and put a stop to all the hard partying that kept getting her in trouble. She landed a role in the highest grossing film of all time (Avatar), reprised her role as Letty in the smash hit Fast & Furious series and is currently working on her own screenplay.
