Scott Baio Denies Eggert Sexual Assault Accusations

ABC News’s Amy Robach pointed out that Eggert now says she lied in that interview to protect the show, and that the abuse actually happened during the show.

“I’m trying to figure out which time she’s lying and which time she’s not lying, because the story seems to change quite a bit,” Baio said.

“What happened with you and Nicole when she was 14, 15, 16?” Robach asked.

“Absolutely nothing,” Baio replied, reiterating that Eggert has changed her story.

At the end of his GMA interview, Baio got emotional when invoking his wife and daughter to explain how the allegations have harmed his family.

“I have a 10-year-old daughter. My 10-year-old daughter does not need to be hearing about this from friends at school, these false allegations. Her job is not to defend me. My job is to defend my daughter, her job is to be 10-years-old. So that’s why this has got to stop.”
