Scott Baio Don’t Know How to Act

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

I don’t know about any of y’all but Scott Baio has never been particularly special in my book.  In a recent wine-fueled conversation with some lady friends I was horrified to learn that some people who I consider close good friends would rather have had sex with young Scott Baio than young Tony Danza. I know, I don’t get it either.  But I love these people so I suspended judgment and got on with my life. Until a few days ago when I was alerted to the following  Looks like Charles isn’t in Charge so much as he’s a fucking prick. And some lady he married, huh?

Well. Twitter is a blunt instrument, huh? And that’s how we got#scottbaioruinseverything as a hashtag, a micro-army of wingnut followers trashing us, Mr. Baio protecting his Tweets, and, finally, Mrs. Baio posting that sweet, homophobic poetry (above) on her Facebook page, directed towards the staff and readers of Jezebel.
