Erin Moran's family unleashes holy hell on 'f*cking coward' Scott Baio

Scott Baio’s wife has been making apologetic phone calls on behalf of her husband after his assumption that his former co-star Erin Moran died due to drug and alcohol abuse. Moran actually died from complications due to her cancer. Now Moran’s brother Tony is fighting back, calling Baio out on Twitter.

TMZ reported Tony calling Baio out as a ‘coward’ and a “piece of sh*t” and attacking the size of Baio’s manhood. He was furious Baio’s wife was the one who contacted him to apologize for her husband and not Baio himself. Even Moran’s cousin Roy went off on Baio, calling him a “d*ck head.” Baio made the accusations in an interview Monday.

“My thing is, I feel bad because her whole life, she was troubled, could never find what made her happy and content. For me, you do drugs or drink, you’re gonna die,” he told The Bernie & Sid radio show. Baio was speculating and didn’t have any evidence about Moran’s cause of death.

Once Baio found out Moran died from cancer, instead of apologizing, he doubled down in a long Facebook post arguing he was misinformed and his actions shouldn’t be considered criticism. He swore that he wasn’t suggesting she died due to a drug overdose, rather the argument that if she had it would have been horrible.

He then went on to blame political liberals and the media because he’s become a target after supporting Donald Trump for president. “I’m sure they’re attacking me because I’m a conservative. These people never attack the press for getting the story wrong about heroin. They attack me,” said Baio.

1. Liberals made him do it?

[blueseas]

15. Wow did not know we had such power!

[JHan]

31. Soros is God

[Volaris]

38. With our unChristian islamo-commo-fascist witchcraft.

But the first rule of ICFW is, you don't talk about ICFW.

So I didn't say nuthin, and you can't prove otherwise.

Maybe Scotts just applying for a job in the WH with this lol

[JDC]

46. Obama !

[mucifer]

49. I can't imagine how jealous he must be of liberals Ron Howard and Henry Winkler who

are millionaires and continue to work in acting and directing and are well respected by the public.

[dalton99a]

2. Scott Baio is scum.

[El Mimbreno]

13. but he obviously learned well from lord trump.

Make up a story, then try to back it up or blame it on someone else.

[riversedge]

3. Typical Trump fan-blaming others, not apologizing for jumping to conclusions. Shame!

[Initech]

4. Go fuck yourself, Baio.

[treestar]

5. He should have apologized

though to be fair, he wasn't the only one assuming.

[tavernier]

23. Yes, we all wondered due to her troubled past,

but no one else held a neh-neh-told-you-so, judgemental, holier-than-thou soapbox riff. Especially before he knew the cause of death, and ESPECIALLY since they were friends.

But yes, easier to be the victim than to apologize.

Jerk.

[SCVDem]

32. Well, no.

Not all of us were wondering.
.
Many of us were aware of her ill health and did not jump to conclusions.

Baio is an ass!

[treestar]

42. Yeah right wingers always have a judgmental

cast to it.

Henry Winkler had seemed to hint at it the same way but without the judgmental tone.

[LeftInTX]

43. On Sunday there were MSM reports that she died of a heroin OD

I'm glad the sheriff's office and ME made an announcement on Monday.

However, Baio should have kept him mouth shut. There was bad blood between him and Erin. He should have just expressed his condolences and left it alone.

Paul Peterson (child actor advocate) also is in a bit of hot water for his comments.

[DURHAM D]

6. What is Baio hiding?

Anyone who judges others in this manner is working overtime to hide a big secret about themselves.

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. I can't get past that thought either.

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. He had a brief reality show, a day in the life kind of thing, i watched

out of curiosity.

He is a cigar smoking, womanizing asshole who thinks he is a big shot, but so did all of his non celebrity friends that were on the show with him.

It is not about being a celebrity that makes him a piece of shit asshole, it is about being a republican.

[amuse bouche]

7. Proud Pinhead Baio, loves to brag on twitter that he basically does nothing but golf because

he's so dang rich. Plus his avatar is of himself snuggling trump.

[NewRedDawn]

30. Googled his net worth

I like to have it, but amongst the crowd he comes from a fairly modest $3.5 Mil. So not that rich either Chachi.

[crazycatlady]

8. When was the last time this fuckwad was relevant?

I remember a not so great show from my childhood that he was in (Charles in Charge) but nothing since.

And I'll admit that I didn't know who Erin Moran was. That is the name of one of my sister's high school friends so she's who I thought of. I'm a kid of the 80s and Happy Days was before my time.

[Orrex]

11. He played a small but admittedly funny role in Arrested Development

Part of the in-series joke is that his lawyer character served as a replacement for the lawyer character played by Henry Winkler, much as Chachi was groomed to replace the Fonz.

Aside from that little Easter egg, the role could have been played by anyone.

[Liberalagogo]

21. Arrested Development

as Bob Loblaw.

I didn't care for him, but thought the joke name was hysterical.
As he got the part, due to those mean LIBRULS (Howard and Winkler) he's always bitching about.

[murielm99]

52. My kids were young then,

and they watched Charles in Charge. I thought it was harmless and funny for them. I did not know anything about his politics and I would not have forbidden the show over his politics.

My husband and I were very strict about the amount and content of TV viewing for our kids. They often argued with us, saying their friends watched all the TV they wanted. Needless to say, they don't react that way any more!

[alp227]

56. Happy Days ran until 1984

Did you mean you were born later?

[crazycatlady]

60. I was born in 1980

Making me 4 when Happy Days went off the air. I was not allowed to watch much TV growing up and barely watched anything that wasn't a cartoon until the 90s.

[NewRedDawn]

9. Little Chachi has been.

P.O.S. E.O.M.

[Hugin]

10. Angry, angry, little man.

Pathetic.

[lpbk2713]

12. Baio has qualified for keynote speaker at the next RNC Convention.

They ought to really love him after this for possessing all the qualities they admire.

[JudyM]

48. Without doubt tRump is going to ask him about his size at some point. So it'll make him feel bigger

[get the red out]

14. Rigidly imposed "rules"

on if a human life has value, the core of conservatism today. He exemplifies this. The R push to end Obamacare and Medicaid exemplifies this.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. My recollection of Erin Moran and the old Chachi crew was that they

grew apart, and not in a friendly way. They tried to get her to join them in a reunion and she turned them down, praying for their souls.

[HughBeaumont]

17. Just following the Conservative playbook -

Never admit error, for that is committing Rovian Cardinal Sin #1.

Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Blame teh LIBRULS.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. CON conservatives always weasel-word when called out on despicable statements. . . nt

[Javaman]

20. when that asshole spoke at the RNC, I had this feeling that he had dreams of running for office

it seems now that has been put to bed.

what a heartless stupid fucking comment he made.

[ehrnst]

22. Good for them. (nt)

[bathroommonkey76]

24. It was Hillary's fault.

[hamsterjill]

29. And Obama's.

Don't forget Obama. He is to blame for everything in their book, too.

[JHB]

40. And the Mighty Clenis, funded by George Soros...

...but not, NOT getting their marching orders straight from the Kremlin. That gig is taken these days by Chachi-in-Charge's team.

[oasis]

25. Deplorable dipshit gets his due.

[Heartstrings]

26. Ahhh yes, the "liberals made me do it" defense...

hasbeen, crap actor, no talent....sad and pathetic pos!

[hamsterjill]

27. Am I the only hoping that Tony Moran actually does "run into him"?

I think a shot to Baio's jaw might just be the thing to make him think about what he said. It was ugly and uncalled for. Totally NOT necessary for him to have said anything.

Not condoning violence, of course, but I can dream, can't I?

[MrScorpio]

28. I've long suspected that wingerism is nothing more than wanting to be a dick

Thanks to Baio for proving me right.

[NewRedDawn]

33. I recalled he was in a scuffle

at the inauguration ball? KellyAnne Conjob & his wife was involved too?

[rivegauche]

34. Ah yes. A familiar repuke tactic.

Blaming bad ole libruls for his own stupidity. This is the new normal for them. Nothing they say or do counts or matters anymore, because of it's stupid and wrong, then someone else is to blame. The media, Obama, Clinton (any of them), and of course, the terrible scheming libtards.

[47of74]

35. Yeah, it shows how much "personal responsibility" Refucklicans have

In their mind personal responsibility is for others, especially minorities. Not for them.

[47of74]

36. Amen. Fuck you Baio

[Raster]

37. No dude, they're attacking you because you're an insensitive asshole with a big mouth...

...no one gives a shit if you're conservative, in fact, except for when you run off at the mouth, no one gives a shit about you, period.

#fuckoffscottbaio

[rurallib]

39. that's a twisted mind that little feller has there.

[obamanut2012]

41. Baio also harassed Erin Moran until she had sex with him

She, as well as others on the HP cast and crew, have said it was literally workplace sexual harassment, and that Baio kept saying he wanted to lose his virginity to her. He would hide in her dressing room and everything.

[vkkv]

44. Baio has it backwards. The reason he supports Trump is BECAUSE he's a DICK. He's not just a dick for

supporting Trump.

[Skittles]

45. I am very much hoping that meeting does occur

yes indeed

[jmowreader]

47. We'll be booking Scott on the Jim and Laila Show very soon

Soon to be the Number One Show in America, this one stars me and Laila Ali, who beats the shit out of right wingers when they say or do anything stupid. But in Scott's case, we're going to save time and beat him to within an inch of his life at the start of the segment.

[Scalded Nun]

50. ...and here I was expecting him to blame Obama.

[Warpy]

53. Typical conservative piece of shit

Say something cruel, double down on it, then blame everybody else. Next he'll tell us it was just a JOKE, where's ya sensayuma?

Asshole.

[AgadorSparticus]

65. Yep. The only thing you forgot to include is the tone deaf ignorance

[Cha]

54. baio is a gd mini trump.

[Honeycombe8]

55. Most people assumed she died of substance abuse or depression, I think.

She had a long history of it. He shouldn't have made a statement like that until her cause of death was released, though.

The brother over reacted. He's upset after his sister's death, naturally, and very offended at Baio, with good cause.

The brother could have done a more harmful and biting statement, though, a little later, when he wasn't so angry. One that cuts to the bone.

Sad that she died so young.

[mr_lebowski]

57. He is a dick in general and should've sucked it up and apologized for his 'insinuation' ... but ...

We on DU ARE indeed 'piling on' in part because he's a CON, let's call a spade a spade.

We'd find a way to forgive, say ... Ron Howard ... if he'd initially said this same thing, esp. if an OD had been misreported, and that's what he was responding to.

That said, Baio's waffling, liberal-blaming, not apologizing, denying that he was insinuating she died from drugs (I would bet he heard that very thing misreported on Sunday, in fact), and hiding behind his wife's skirt ... to me, that was the egregious part. Not so much what he first said, given the circumstances ... it was, you might say ... the 'coverup' ... that's the real dick move.

As an aside, I'd also point out at that it's not 'unknown' for large doses of opioids to be 'deployed' to provide a compassionate 'way out' for terminally ill/sick patients. Ergo, it's not unthinkable that there's a bit of truth to the story that was in the media Sunday. They eased my very sick 94yo grandpa out of the world in that manner ... at the hospital in fact. Morphine, of course, but ...

[bhusar]

58. He is such an ass

I Hope her family gets him

[Edina]

59. Idiot

What an idiot. When I read what he said I was sickened. As someone who survived Stage 4 Colon Cancer diagnosed in my 40s I felt this was a cruel statement and an insult to all who have walked the cancer path. Guess what Scott, people who are health nuts and eat well and don't do drugs/drink get cancer. I am one of them. So f**k cancer and f**k you Scott Baio. A great friend you were--not-- to Erin.

[Different Drummer]

61. Deflect, defend, deny. Old conservative tactics.

Nothing new to see here. Move along.

Side note: I would be glad if Tony and Roy find Chachi and give him what's coming to him.

[zentrum]

62. Blaming others

....like a true Trumpster.

[Beartracks]

64. It's what they say liberals do. Which is a sure sign..

... that it is what conservatives do.

==========

[proud patriot]

63. I'm glad they are giving hell

what a little prick

[mnmoderatedem]

66. here's a little known fact (in my best Cliff Clavin voice)

Tony Moran played Mike Myers in the original Halloween movie. Now he's pissed at Baio. Watch your back Chachi.
