In June, Arnold was joined by all five of his kids at the “FUBAR” Season 2 red carpet premiere in LA, but Joseph was snubbed by his four half-siblings.
Arnold first took pictures with Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher, and then posed for separate photos with Joseph.

“The other kids don’t love Joe,” the insider alleged.
“It’s a shame as he’s a really good kid, and Arnold has always treated him like all his other kids — very fairly. But for whatever reason, the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe,” the source added.

“I think the main thing is I’m trying to do things on my own,” he told “Good Morning Britain.”
“My family is very big in supporting from afar and not being so hands-on, I really appreciate that. I think it’s really important growing up as a man to do things on your own. To figure it out, that’s what I’ve been doing,” he added.
