Scott Baio has caused a stir on Twitter.
After the former Charles in Charge star, 48, posted an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama on his Twitter page, he was bombarded with angry replies from fans and enemies alike.
Check out (flattering!) photos of Michelle Obama's style
Some called the actor -- who has often used his Twitter page to speak out about his Republican beliefs -- an "asshole" and many said his post was racist.
Baio, however, insisted the post was just a joke and shared screenshots of several death threats he received.
"Easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish you," one commenter wrote while another threatened to harm his wife and family.
Below, take a look at the drama as it unfolded from start to finish -- and caused his followers to skyrocket to nearly 5,000 people -- on Baio's Twitter page:

-I did NOT alter that picture. Stop bashing my Charity just because I post an unflattering pic of a woman. Grow up ppl, have some humor.
-Hello, I'm Scott Baio & if you post ANY LIBS picture on Twitter, they will try to bury you. Because their skin is VERY thin.
-How many libs will buy (or look at in the store) the National Enquirer this week. FYI THAT EXACT PIC IS IN IT... (& other mags) BOO HOO
-blah blah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
-People need to relax and laugh a bit. Life is too short no matter what party you are with. A joke is just that, a joke.

-Yes, @bekerbee & Bush did too. What's your point????? Tell that to Leno, Letterman, Conan, SNL, & every stand up comedian. Just a start.

-If YOU are born in AMERICA, U ARE AN AMERICAN. I don't insist on being called Italian-American. Therefore Black Amer are not Afr-Amer.
-Or that would mean people (white or black) born in Africa would be called African-Africans..... Just a thought to think about.
-P.S. @bradmantv THIS is what YOU call "having my back" go ahead, go live & defend that my frd. Apologize LIVE then we can talk.
-PLEASE NOTE: The FBI has been contacted & we have a file number for the threats, along with twitter support. Thx

I'm from NY, so I'm always a bit baffled when I hear of such conservative Italians. Mayor Guiliani, Tony Danza & now "Mr. Baio." I would think immigrating from Italy to the U.S. & enduring prejudice behavior & sterotypes such as wearing gold chains, speaking broken English (fuh-git-about-it) & eating meatballs, would make individuals more tolerant to others, not less. It's just a bit surprising to me. -

Good question who is Scott Baio? He's a washed up crusty has been a no body! His wife is probably a fake bleached out blonde with implants. LMAO! Scott is a RACIST ignorant asshole who's mad at Michelle who is way more educated, elegant and beautiful then he could ever hope to attract. Scott grow up there is beauty outside of bleached out blonde bimbo's .. your world is too small! -

More bitter rejected white men comments. Just because Michelle Obama doesn't want any of them, and is too good for them, now they resort to degrading her. One things for sure, she looks a hell lot better than anything they can get. And for the record, she is not a politician, but a politicians wife and somehow she gets more attention than actual politicians!! -

Are you kidding me?Death threats? what about the ugly and degrading photos of sarah Palin...did anybody come to her defense?NO! of course not bc you liberals are all biased....you can fork out all the jokes and opinions but can't take it. And of course our President and his wife are black which has nothing to do w what scott baio was joking about and now u have all the Liberal Blacks?? This is seriously a neverending issue....Basically we no longer have freedom of speech it's "freedom to voice whatever opinion u want to force on conservatives and not listen to what they have to say bc you'll pull the race card if you have nothing better to say" of course scott baio's opinions dont matter but it makes it funnier to read when people pull the race card whenever they can. Ridiculous -

Lance Mark Zeidman of Ft. lauderdale FL is a con artist thief who set up a bogus company called Universal Investments, took people's hard earned money and then SPLIT with it! He's been FIRED from numerous jobs ever since and is now running some kind of insurance scam. He comes off as charming when he's really a no-good snake with no remorse or sympathy for his victims. According to Facebook, he now he lives with broke college kids because he can't afford to pay his rent by himself. You'd think after his dog Lucky died (also according to Facebook) he'd realize that there is such a thing as KARMA and pay back what he stole but NO...he's so broke he probably couldn't pay back his victims even if he wanted to. If you come across this guy and he wants to do business with you regarding forex trading, insurance, website building or advertising RUN-he is out to scam you! He is known to do business in Florida, Lindenhurst NY or Ravenna Ohio. Don't trust him-he will rip you off and not feel the least bit sorry. You have been warned!!! -

I agree with David's comment "WHAT ABOUT THE IGNORANT AND RUDE CARD? SCOTT BAIO IS A JOKE. ANYONE WHO SAW HIS PATHETIC SELF ON HIS REALITY SHOW KNOWS THAT. WHY NOT TRY TO BE A MAN YOU DAUGHTER CAN GROW UP TO BE PROUD OF?!!! TRY DOING GOOD THINGS WITH YOUR LIFE AND FINDING RESPECT FOR OTHERS. ACTUALLY, IF YOU HAD RESPECT FOR YOURSELF YOU WOULDN'T TREAT OTHERS LIKE THAT. READ A FEW HISTORY BOOKS AND THEN YOU MIGHT GET HOW YOUR IGNORANT COMMENT AND POST IS OFFENSIVE TO EACH AND EVERY EDUCATED PERSON ON THE PLANET, YOU SWINE! " -

Hey Scott that is one UGLY WITCH alright. U can always tell a lib. by just looking at them,et. al. Nasty Pelosi, Honky Reid. they are always ugly ppl. -

This only proves how liberalism is truly a dangerous mental disorder. Why would Scott get death threats for posting a very ugly pic of our ugly first lady? Have you sane people noticed how liberals can spew much hate and real racism and nothing happens but a debate but if we on the right do something like Scott did we get death threats? You liberals are sick people! Iâ??m with you Scott! -

It was sophmoric and stupid. It doesn't warrant death threats though.
