Arnold Schwarzenegger has responded to Eliza Dushku's allegation that "True Lies" stuntman Joel Kramer sexually assaulted her while making "True Lies" when she was 12 years old.
The actor and former governor of California was replying to a tweet from fellow co-star Tom Arnold, telling him: "Tom, you bet your a** all of us would have done something.

"I'm shocked and saddened for Eliza but I am also proud of her - beyond being a great talent and an amazing woman, she is so courageous," Schwarzenegger added.
Kramer has denied the allegations made by Dushku, saying he "never sexual assaulted her."
Dushku, now 37, wrote a lengthy Facebook post on Saturday saying that Kramer lured her into his hotel room in Miami and molested her. She said that when he was "finished," he suggested they "should be careful" not to tell anyone.
When contacted by TheWrap about the allegations, Kramer said, "Wow. That's news to me. I never sexually assaulted her. She's a sweet girl. We all looked out for her, that's surprising.
"I'm just shocked," he said about the account. "I don't know why she would say that. We took her out to dinner and we took her to our hotel for a swim at the pool."
Dushku played the teenage daughter of Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1994 action hit.
On Sunday, Curtis wrote a column for HuffPo calling for Hollywood to make changes to protect young actors on set.
"It is a complicated relationship working with children as they are being asked to do adult work with you in an adult field, surrounded by hundreds of adults who want them to perform for them, and yet are still inherently children," Curtis wrote. "I have wrestled with my role as a mentor, colleague, surrogate, and friend, and each relationship is individual and unique. Are we really friends? Are we work mates? Children are not mature enough to recognize that subtle difference."
James Cameron, who directed "True Lies" said on Saturday during a panel at the Television Critics Association press tour that he hadn't been aware of the accusation until then. "Directors are historically pretty oblivious to the interpersonal things on their set, being so focused on what they're doing creatively," he said, but added "had he known about it, there would have been no mercy."
