LAT: AMI paid hush money for Arnold

'Outercourse'?

‘Outercourse’? The Los Angeles Times reports that around the same time that American Media was negotiating Arnold Schwarzenegger’s now-terminated consulting deal– and right after Schwarzenegger announced his gubernatorial run– the media company signed a $20,000 exclusive-rights deal for the story of Gigi Goyette, who claims she was having regular ‘outercourse’ sessions with Schwarzenegger. (Says her lawyer, “She maintained it was more of a massage situation – however you want to interpret that.”) AMI also paid a friend of Goyette’s $1000 for exclusive story rights.

The thing is, no AMI publication ever followed up with Goyette on the story or printed anything further about it beyond a story which mentioned her in 2001.
