Scott Baio’s Wife Tells Sandy Hook Mom ‘Maybe Your Children Are in a Better Place’

Scott Baio’s wife Renee is a target of widespread social media disgust after she told a Sandy Hook mom, “Maybe your children are in a better place.”

On Thursday, the “Happy Days” actor retweeted a conspiracy theory meme that suggested the mother of murdered Sandy Hook teacher Vicki Soto and the mother of Charlottesville victim Heather Heyer were both portrayed by an actress. The implication of the meme is that both deaths may have been faked, and Baio soon apologized.

Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose six-year-old daughter Ana died in the Sandy Hook shooting, called Baio out on his insensitivity.

I called him out for making fun of grieving mothers. He blocked me. We have more courage in one pinky. #ScottBaio#Newtown#Charlottesvillepic.twitter.com/nAdqtt9VOE — Nelba Márquez-Greene (@Nelba_MG) August 25, 2017

Saturday morning, Baio’s wife gave her Twitter followers an update on a recent surgery, writing that there was a “scary set back….transfusion and now bed rest.”

Marquez-Greene replied, “Sure hope no one makes fun of you or suggests you’re acting,” referring to the actor’s conspiracy theory tweet two days earlier. “Instead? I will say god bless you and best wishes for a speedy recovery.”

Baio’s missus responded: “I’m sorry 4 your loss @Nelba_MG however, maybe your children are in a better place. Your ugliness knows no bounds! I’ll pray for you.”

1.@Nelba_MG I’m sorry I hurt you. You came at me while I’m under a huge amount of medical challenges as I’m fighting for my life. – Renee Baio (@MrsScottBaio) August 26, 2017

Fighting for your life? Yet hurling insults and FALSE accusations about Sandy Hook on Twitter. Really? – Karen (@kg_nielsen) August 26, 2017

I was clear. I wished you a speedy recovery. I believe what you wrote is what we call in the field “projection”. Good try though, boo. https://t.co/Prejbs68JJ – Nelba Márquez-Greene (@Nelba_MG) August 26, 2017
