Scott Baio Gets Death Threats Following Michelle Obama Joke


Former Happy Days star Scott Baio is back in the news after a Twitter joke he made about Michelle Obama ended in death threats.

Baio, currently appearing in VH1’s “Scott Baio….45 & Counting,” posted the above picture of Michelle Obama to Twitter, along with the line “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”

Some of his followers didn’t see the funny side, and started hurling abuse, calling him a racist, suggested that he kill himself, and more including death threats.

Baio initially responded on Twitter saying “People need to relax and laugh a bit. Life is too short no matter what party you are with. A joke is just that, a joke,” but apparently things didn’t improve, with a later message reading “PLEASE NOTE: The FBI has been contacted & we have a file number for the threats, along with Twitter support. Thx (thanks).”
