Could never excuse him end of, but it really is a different world. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, for all we know she had affairs but kept it discrete. Who knows? Not us! Arnold is a pompous individual no doubt, but life is so different in that world and it's easy for us to judge, we haven't lived that life, with those pressures on us from the media, everyone expecting us to perform 24/7, and be super moral all the time, to please everyone all the time and never ever make a mistake. When the whole world is judging you for their own reasons, what can you say to please all of them without putting anyone's nose out of joint? He's a dick, who thought with his dick, surrounded by yes men and being told he's great and idolised. When your whole life is like that, you believe the hype and act out in a manic sense - amplified by his real alpha male personality.
I don't agree with it, but I understand it. It's not right, but it's his life. Everyone judges like they don't have regrets. We've all done stuff we shouldn't have, maybe not in a serial fashion like him, but we have. And as for the maid, who knows what she looked like before she got pregnant? Plenty of women become over weight after children and have a hard time losing that weight. For all we know she went around cleaning the house in a French maid's outfit looking rather sexy!
