He was Arnold's love child … not.

And now Arnold Schwarzenegger's longtime personal flight attendant is suing a handful of publications for saying her son, Brea's Tanner Tousignant was another Arnold offspring, particularly in the wake of revelations that the former gov made it with his housekeeper and has a 10-year-old son with her.

According to our friends at OC Weekly, Tammy Tousignant wants …

… $40 million from the likes of Gawker, the National Enquirer, the London Daily Mail and other outlets. The suit was filed in Orange County last week.

She's alleging, according to the Weekly …

… defamation by libel, invasion of privacy and misappropriation of personal images following a series of 2003 and 2011 articles that wrongly alleged she 'was Arnold's lover” and that her son, Tanner, “was Arnold's.”

Oops.
