(Newser) – Maria Shriver's every word is under scrutiny these days, so this comment to Oprah during a taping yesterday of a star-studded farewell is being widely interpreted as a jab at Arnold Schwarzenegger: "You have shown love, support, wisdom, and most of all,"—and here she stops for a "big meaningful pause," according to Us Magazine—"the truth." Winfrey then squeezed her longtime friend's hand as the audience applauded. Click to read how the birth of Arnold's love child came just days after his fourth child with Maria.
