Another woman is set to come forward about her experience on the set of this former syndicated show and with the actor who was the star. She says he pursued her even though he knew she was underage.
Growing up in musical theatre world in nyc in the mid 1970s. He was always spotted at the Mcburney Y gym off Times Square with older gay theater types - working the sauna and steam rooms. He couldn’t have been more than 15 or 16 himself. These were men in their 40s and 50s. This is just a cycle of abuse. Sad,reprehensible but very believable.
Man, I've been scrolling through the guest stars on that show. It's like a Who's Who of discarded Teen Beat also-rans: Rodney Eastman! Olivia Burnette! Ami Foster! Justin Whalin! Surely you could toss a dart at the list and hit someone who was molested.

Any abuse is reprehensible, 100% agreed. But as a survivor of abuse, I can say that while it is also perhaps believable, the "cycle" is no excuse. I dont abuse anyone or thing, neither do my siblings.
I don't mean to pick on anyone brave enough to comment here, I just dont think Scott Baio deserves our sympathy. He's had plenty of money and access to resources to cope with his abuse, rather than repeat it, over and over.
I have read published reports about Tiffany Thiesen's disdain for Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding). There was also a rumor claiming Mario Lopez raped her too.
As I'm reading this, I'm listening to a local radio show and they're talking about Baio. A listener posted to their FB that when she was 15, she and two friends went to a fan event. She said that Scott hit on one of them, giving her his hotel room number and time to come over. The friend agreed, but was nieve and brought her mom as she couldn't drive. She said he was really pissed.
Scott Baio/CIC
ReplyDeleteI think it went syndicated after CBS?
DeleteYes it did.
DeleteThanks @InTheHlow135:)
DeleteJosie Davis is the 3rd kid right?
ReplyDeleteMakes sense.
Delete"New boy in the neighborhood
ReplyDeleteLives downstairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me,
Like he's one of the family."
That is the beginning of a CPS report, not a show premise.
There’s a new boy in the neighborhood,
DeleteHe tells me I’m here to make him feel good...
😂😂😂😂
DeleteThe whole concept of that show was gross.
ReplyDelete"I want Charles in charge of me."
I'm gonna guess Tiffani Thiessen as the woman. At the age of 16, she was incredulously cast to play the girlfriend of a then 30 year old Scott Baio.
ReplyDeleteShe has a new series (family show) coming up on Netflix. I don’t think she’d jeopardise that by talking.
DeleteAll publicity is good publicity. Most people would be on her side.
DeleteCorrection: Scott Baio was 29 at the time.
ReplyDeleteThe An Open Secret Twitter account said Tiffani was 15 at the time of filming. I’m sure she has a lot of stories about her time in the business.
DeleteI guess this is in addition to the latest charge of him pulling down a male co-stars pants on the set.
ReplyDeleteNaughty Scotty
Didn't the theme song lyric end with "I want Charles inside of me?"
ReplyDeleteNew boy in the neighborhood
DeleteLives downstairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me,
Like he's one of the family.
Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in Charge
Of our wrongs and our rights
And I sing, I want,
I want Charles in Charge of me.
Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in Charge
Of our wrongs and our rights
And I sing, I want,
I want Charles in Charge of me
From Lyrics on Demand
All of them.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long before we learn Grant Goodeve was trying to get all the girls on the set to answer the question: Is Eight Enough?
ReplyDeleteI kid, I kid...
He was hot back in the day. I'd be disappointed if he turned out to be asshole.
DeleteBaio is a pig, that is common knowledge. I'm glad people are finally speaking up.

Delete"Charles in charge of our days" eh, okay..."and our nights" WTF!

ReplyDeleteSo excited that Chachi is finally getting taken down.
ReplyDeleteI hope his deranged wifey permanently shuts her thirsty pie hole.

ReplyDeleteMario Lopez (allegedly) raped a lot of people.

ReplyDeleteJail loves Chachi (Hollywood Jail)
ReplyDeleteScott Baio and Josie Bisset from Charles in Charge. She has been radio silent, which has everyone speculating.
ReplyDeleteWonder if he's one of the reasons for Erin Moran's unraveling.
