Nicole Eggert took her sexual abuse claims against Scott Baio to "Today" — sitting with Megyn Kelly to accuse him of sexual harassment and assault on the set of "Charles In Charge!"
As earlier reported by The National ENQUIRER, Scott took to Facebook on Jan. 27 to blast Nicole for claiming that they had sexual relations when his costar on the hit '80 sitcom was still a minor. His detailed denial of her charges included a claim that Dr. Oz had canceled a planned appearance by Nicole on his show — but Megyn was happy to sit down with the ex-"Baywatch" beauty!

Nicole went into detail with claims made to Megyn, saying: “I was very young and it was shocking. I had never experienced anything like that before, either." The tearful star told Megyn that Scott had "befriended me and earned my trust" at the start of filming in 1986 — and "started expressing his love for me and marriage in the future."

"Before my fifteenth birthday," claimed Nicole, "we were at his house, in his car, in his garage — and he reached over and he penetrated me with his finger. He was playing not only on my emotions, but also my hormones....He also was telling me, 'You can't tell anybody. This is illegal. I'll go to jail, the show will be over. Everybody will be sued. You'll be out of a job. You'll ruin everybody's life.'"

Nicole addressed Scott's denials — and her earlier claims about going to her costar to lose her virginity — by saying: "My truth is that I wasn’t ready to tell my story. For me it was always protecting the show and protecting that whole legacy that nothing happened there. That was my delusion and my cover-up always."

The latest claims still don't address the other accusations hanging over the legacy of "Charles In Charge," however. Alexander Polinsky — who was a regular on the show as a child star — has also claimed that he was "abused daily" on the set. In an exclusive statement to The ENQUIRER, Scott had said: "I urge Alexander to contact [the Los Angeles Police Department] directly."
