1264036557_scott baio 290

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.

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:

-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
