Maria Shriver Apologizes

Posted Oct 14th 2009 6:47PM by TMZ Staff

Just one day after Arnold Schwarzenegger promised "swift action" -- Maria Shriver has issued an apology for her repeated illegal use of her cell phone while driving.

"I'm sorry. I will be donating my favorite old cell phone to my Women's Conference partner Verizon through their HopeLine program that helps domestic violence shelters.

I invite anyone else who wants to recycle their old phone to join me.

That's my version of swift action with a higher purpose."

Bumper Sticker can save lives and so can you.

NO cell phone calls while driving

We can all live to see another day if everyone does their part.

13. That's it? Wouldn't any other citizen be fined! 3 pictures equals 3 fines! Each one should be more than the last just like the rest of us. Apparently the Schwarzeneggers/Kennedys do not have to follow the same sets of rules.

14. Geez, she tries to turn it around as if she is doing something for a higher calling???? How about taking responsibility for your bad actions especially as the mother of four children - three of who are driving age with so many kids getting in accidents while on the phone or texting.

Bad Example. I lost all respect for her.
