Scott Baio’s Wife Under Fire For ‘Shockingly Vicious Message’ To Sandy Hook Victim’s Mother

I don’t even know how to set this up, because it’s incredibly….well, eeeeeeek. I don’t even want to touch it with a 10-foot pole, to be honest.

Here’s the deal. Scott Baio’s wife is under fire for writing what the Daily Mail describes as a “shockingly vicious message” to the mother of a Sandy Hook victim.

Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose daughter, Ana Grace, six, died in the 2012 massacre, got into a tussle with Renee Baio over the weekend after the Happy Days actor retweeted a meme claiming the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary were a hoax.

In response, Baio told Marquez-Greene: ‘I’m sorry 4 your loss @Nelba_MG however, maybe your children are in a better place. Your ugliness knows no bounds!!’

Yep. This all started because Scott Baio tweeted a conspiracy theory meme.

The brouhaha started on Thursday when Baio retweeted a meme that implied the deaths at Sandy Hook and the recent Charlottesville white supremacist rally were either faked or government orchestrated.

It showed similar-looking photos of Donna Soto, mom of slain Sandy Hook teacher Vicky Soto, and Susan Bro, mother of slain Charlottesville protester Heater Heyer, implying were the same woman.

He added the comment ‘Thoughts.’

UGHHHHH NOOOO.

Nelba Marquez-Greene responded–

Scott apologized, but his wife rushed to his defense. Hence, the cringeworthy tweet.

Baio has since apologized and said that he regrets retweeting the meme, but his wife – who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2014 – apparently stridently took his side.

That led to Marquez-Greene responding: ‘Sure hope no one makes fun of you or suggests you’re acting. Instead? I will say god bless you and best wishes for a speedy recovery.’

Renee Baio’s response to that is no longer visible, as she made her account private after being lambasted by other users, but she appeared to take exception to the grieving mother’s remarks.

We cannot even begin to imagine what Marquez-Greene went through and the pain she continues to deal with. My heart absolutely breaks for her.

These stupid conspiracy theories are uncalled for. Scott Baio should know better. And Renee’s response was even MORE uncalled for. Just no. Don’t even go there. It’s unacceptable.
