Scott Baio Blasts Dead Erin Moran

Scott Baio was scorned by longtime fans after the "Happy Days" actor went on a shocking tirade about the tragic death of his costar Erin Moran!

The actor guested on the popular podcast “The Bernie & Sid Show” — where his cruel comments weren't anything like his loving Twitter tribute to the troubled actress. "For me," said Scott, "you do drugs or drink, you’re gonna die...It's what it is!"

Erin's former costar on "Joanie Loves Chachi" then went into cruel detail about his former friend's life: “I knew Erin well — over the last many years, I have not spoken with her. She was just an insecure human being and fell into this world of drugs and alcohol.”

Scott also boasted that he had managed to avoid the familiar child-star trap of drug addiction, saying: "I had parents and a brother and sister who were straight arrows and my father, God rest his soul, said to me, 'You do drugs, I’ll kill you.'" But Scott was soon begging for forgiveness after going off on Erin's sad final days!

Hours after his remarks, Scott with public with an apology after a coroner's report ruled that Erin had died from throat cancer — although there were reports that the faded star had lapsed into heroin use while living in Indiana.

"I'm a compassionate person," insisted Scott — adding: “I was still upset. and said I felt that living that kind of a lifestyle will catch up with you and nothing good would come of it. I'm also trying to process this loss. Erin was my very first real girlfriend...Please stop assuming the worse in me.”
