Scott Baio proved just that on Monday, after he addressed the death of Erin Moran, his former "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi" co-star, during WABC's "The Bernie and Sid Show." He had previously tweeted his "sincere condolences," but then outraged many with additional comments the following day. Baio told the radio hosts he was "not completely shocked" that Moran died at 56 and suggested drugs and alcohol played a part.
"For me, you do drugs or drink, you're gonna die," Baio said on the radio show, according to Deadline. "I'm sorry if that's cold, but God gave you a brain, gave you the will to live and thrive and you gotta take care of yourself."
Many people certainly did think that was "cold" -- especially after a coroner's report revealed that her cause of death was related to Stage IV cancer and no narcotics were found in her home. Their displeasure showed itself on -- where else? -- Twitter. Baio found himself the target of some serious animosity, as seen below.
How did my childhood vomit up two of the cringiest people? I'm looking at you Scott Baio and Kirk Cameron. 👀

@tonyposnanski If @ScottBaio wasn't such a has-been, he might have the wherewithal to help his former co-star. But he probably hadn't worked in years.

I'm so sad to learn Scott Baio has outlived Erin Moran. http://pic.twitter.com/dZa61N6yFS

@wilw Scott Baio stopped being a human long ago. Maybe no one mentioned to him that "You breathe, you drink water, you're gonna die" also holds. 👿

When Smash Mouth is making fun of you, maybe it's time to delete your account, @ScottBaio. https://t.co/8bN97ztzEW

Why does Scott Baio go out of his way to be a jerk. Didn't his mother teach him if you can't say something nice, don't say anything?

Scott Baio should just stick with revving up business for Nordstrom and keep his mouth shut about literally everything else.

In spite of all the outrage, Baio seemed more or less unfazed. When asked if he regretted his comments after learning the cause of her death, he opted not to apologize and emphasized that he'd said "If."
I said "IF". https://t.co/aNRaKgMu6x

In any case, this isn't a happy day for Moran's loved ones and fans, so at least Baio and his critics can agree that condolences are in order.
