Scott Baio tries to explain his comments on Happy Days co-star Erin Moran’s death

As it turns out, the likely cause of Moran’s death, announced by the Harrison County coroner’s office on Monday afternoon, was stage-four cancer. Baio was almost immediately besieged on Twitter, where he tried to explain his radio comments and complained that people were only attacking him because he’s a Trump supporter (as his profile picture makes obvious).

EW reports that the now-frustrated Baio posted a longer response on his Facebook page last night:

It’s a very sad story all around, and Baio has the difficult position of processing his grief in a public forum (albeit, a position he created by being on a radio show). But, given his initial response, you could also argue that comments like “I’m very heartbroken over her passing, especially since it was cancer” aren’t helping his case.
