Scott Baio is kind of an asshole. We knew that. He loves Donald Trump and complained to the cops because a woman “attacked” him by, horror of horror, shaking him a little bit.
So this weekend Scott was assholing his way around Twitter when Nicole Eggert, his co-star on Charles in Charge, accused him of molesting her when she was a minor.
Baio denied the allegations pretty vehemently, claiming that he had sex with her, but only once, and that it was consensual and after she was 18.

Eggert will be on Today with Megyn Kelly tomorrow to give an interview about the situation.
While we wait for that, enjoy these tweets about it. The theme is Scott Baio doesn’t have a career to lose over these allegations.
JUST IN: After credible allegations about molesting former co-star Nicole Eggert when she was 14, Scott Baio has been dropped from the cast…oh wait, he isn’t currently in anything cause he is a shitty actor.

Why would anyone admit to having sex with Scott Baio and lie about it?

Media outlet that called Scott Baio an "actor" is also lying. https://t.co/wsV4Iw9Oy5

I could find more of these. Probably all day. Unlike acting roles for Scott Baio, there’s no shortage of them.
I’ve said / posted this before and I’ll say / post it again: Even if this is true, why did she wait 28 YEARS before saying something? (Eggert was 17 in 1989.)
Ladies, if a guy is being a creep, say something NOW. RIGHT NOW. Don’t wait a day, week, month, year or decade. A loud “stop that” usually works. So does a slap in the face.
Slander and defamation are real things. The longer you wait – say, two days – the less of a case you have.
I’m sorry for the few that are affected but I’ll go with the statue of limitations and say that any charges after 7 years are not credible.
