Scott Baio wasted no time in disputing accusations from actress Nicole Eggert, who said he repeatedly molested her between the ages of 14 and 17. Baio took to Twitter saying “her claims are 100% lies” before going to Facebook Live in an effort to prove the allegations were false.
Eggert brought the accusations to Twitter after she commented on a tweet referring to Baio’s support of Donald Trump: “Ask [Scott Baio] what happened in his garage at his house when I was a minor. Creep.” This started a series of tweets where she claims she was molested by him from ages 14 to 17 and went into details about the assaults. The two starred together on the ’80s sitcom Charles in Charge.
In a 16-minute-plus video, Baio sits at a desk as if it were a formal press conference going through a stack of documents (which are all posted on social media in their entirety) to prove Eggert wrong. “The reason I’m doing Facebook Live is because no one can edit me,” he said. “This is the truth.” His wife, Renee, can be heard off camera giving him direction on his defense and providing commentary of her own.
Baio says that when Eggert’s first claims against him came up, she was promoting her reality shows — but he kept his “mouth shut” because they eventually go away. Baio said that she “just won’t let them go.”
The accusations came up again in 2017. He presented to two letters that he sent to Eggert and fellow Charles in Charge co-star Alexander Polinksy when they “decided to team up against” him. He told them to go to the police if they have legitimate claims, but they chose not to and instead went to social media where Baio says, “People like me get beat up.”
In the video, he says that Eggert was his best friend and all of a sudden he is a “bogeyman”. He concludes, “The problem with almost all he said-she said cases is they’re he said-she said. Now, go prove it or disprove it.the real problem with this is people with legitimate claims aren’t taken seriously — and that’s too bad.”
Seems credible, unfortunately. One of those situations where you always felt like something was going on.

niccas like you are the problem. why does it “SEEM” credible?????

This woman is now 46 years old. Where has her claim been all these years to now be hoisted in the current wind of #MeToo?
Just saying....
Did you watch that show?
17 is below the age of consent in California, so he apparently broke the law.
It’s crazy,
but the YOUNGER sister turned out to be the hot one. Go figure.
That article pretty much blows her claims clear out of the water.
Typical Hollywood attention whore.
I didn’t see any article, just a headline.
“Nicole eventually revealed that Scott was her first time. She was 17 and started dating another guy and didn’t want to be a virgin anymore. “I was embarrassed I was a virgin, so I needed someone to pop the cherry and make me a veteran.” So she basically asked Scott to do the deed. She didn’t even want to go out to dinner with him, she just wanted him for the experience!”

Well, I think I now know all I need to know about this matter.
Not according to her own account. She says that after CIC ended, she was dating a guy and didn’t want to be a virgin, so she called Baio and got him to take her virginity. She then told the interviewer that Baio then asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner, and she gave him a hard no and went off to her boyfriend. Her own description of the encounter, which by her account was long after CIC ended, making her well over the age of 18.
Circle Jerks iirc
Her original story was that she had sex with him for the first time, years after the series ended. She was 18 when the series ended. In another version she claims she was 14. And in still another version she says she was 17. She hasn’t taken any of her versions to a court of law.
Who....and who?
What a disgusting zoo with such disgusting breeding choices.
Care to explain how it “blows her claim out of the water” ?
Age 17 is still a minor, and he was 29 at the time.
I find it highly doubtful that they had no relations prior to the sex encounter at 17.
Hollywood is a cesspool of moral depravity. Some actors are conservative, true, but they are no less susceptible to the depravities out there than the liberal actors
