Scott Baio Says He’ll Address Nicole Eggert’s Accusation That He ‘Molested’ Her as a Minor
Scott Baio says “in moments” he will address former “Charles in Charge” co-star Nicole Eggert’s accusation that he “molested” her when the actress was a minor.
The actor and outspoken Donald Trump supporter said on Saturday afternoon he will host a Facebook Live “very soon today” to “prove her claims are 100% lies!” Baio says he will post all of his “evidence” on Facebook and Twitter afterward.
A few hours earlier, Eggert used Twitter to accuse Baio of “fingering” her when she was as young as 14. Eggert says it happened “in his garage at his house.”
