Renee Sloan, the wife of American actor and television director Scott Baio, is a target of widespread social media backlash after she told the mother of a Sandy Hook victim, "Maybe your children are in a better place."

On Thursday, the former "Happy Days" actor retweeted a conspiracy theory picture that suggested the mother of Vicki Soto, a teacher murdered in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school, in Newton, Connecticut, and the mother of Charlottesville, Virginia, Heather Heyer were portrayed by an actress.

The conspiracy theory photo implies that both deaths may have been faked, Baio soon apologized.

Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter Ana was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, called Baio out on his insensitivity.

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

Marquez-Greene replied and said, “Sure hope no one makes fun of you or suggests you’re acting... Instead? I will say god bless you and best wishes for a speedy recovery.”

Baio’s wife 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.”

deplorable

 

[BronsonLee]

Twitter was a goddamn mistake

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

What a fucking cunt.

Also since when has Scott Baio been a piece of garbage? Really makes me question my love for Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

 

[Zee-Row]

What a piece of shit , fuck Scott Baio and his wife.

 

[Yaboosh]

I thought the context might make it a little bit better.

Nope, it makes it way way way worse.

 

[DarkKyo]

humanity was a goddamn mistake

ftfy

 

[blackflag]

That's fucking straight up evil.

 

[Bandini]

Here's a tip, never follow "I'm sorry for your loss" with "however"

 

[Snowybreak]

Like... How do you deal with these fucks? How do you deal with people who just absolutely reject reality and claim that people are actors?

 

[The Hermit]

Twitter was a goddamn mistake

Technology is amazing. People are still too stupid thought

 

[Ithil]

She doesn't sound very sorry for her loss.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

He has a twitter pic with him and Trump?

That explains a lot.

 

[Tagyhag]

So I don't understand the conspiracy theory aspect of it.

Is it because you don't want to admit that a white person could be bad, you love guns, or both?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Twitter was a goddamn mistake

It's not the platform, it's the users.

 

[mnannola]

This is straight out of the "If he gets punched, he will punch back harder" playbook of our commander in chief.

"Imply I may be faking my hospital visit? Well how about your kid is better off without you!"

Despicable.

 

[Dalek]

Your ugliness knows no bounds! I’ll pray for you.”

What the fuck

 

[Lightning_Roller]

That's fucking disgusting!!! I hope her life is destroyed for saying that horrible shit, her and her husband.

 

[TheOMan]

Twitter was a mistake, for real.

 

[Ithil]

So I don't understand the conspiracy theory aspect of it.

Is it because you don't want to admit that a white person could be bad, you love guns, or both?

They don't want to confront the fact that there is a gun problem in America, so they deny all the evidence of it rather than face it. They want to live in a fantasy bubble where there are no problems for them.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

So if someone kills her, it'll be cool because maybe she'll be in a better place?



Ugh. I really don't want anyone to every use my death as some fucked up "silver lining"

 

[shandy706]

You know what...don't mind the mom's reaction and post. The Baios deserve it after that conspiracy trash.

Dudes wife needs a good punch for that insult towards the loss of a child.

 

[Plinko]

Did we have a thread already on Scott Baio and his wife's fake charity? Because that is ridiculous as well.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

What the fuck

Yeah, talk about burying the lede.

 

[Dierce]

I wonder what goes through the head of these religious conservatives that are also pro-gun and do the opposite of what their own bible said they should do. They probably live in a state of constant mental conflict which makes them evil and bitter.

 

[Tagyhag]

They don't want to confront the fact that there is a gun problem in America, so they deny all the evidence of it rather than face it. They want to live in a fantasy bubble where there are no problems for them.

I feel like that's too innocent for them lol.

If you harass the parents I think you have darker thoughts.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Why are conservative actors not just normal conservative but like the worst strain of conservative that exists?

 

[diaspora]

Social conservatives are a mistake.

 

[Jigorath]

Trash human being.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

It's not the platform, it's the users.

humanity was a goddamn mistake

 

[shintoki]

Twitter was a goddamn mistake

Nothing has exposed more racist, homophobic, sexist, and largely PoS individual than twitter.

 

[Snowybreak]

Did we have a thread already on Scott Baio and his wife's fake charity? Because that is ridiculous as well.

Did a quick title search of his name and the only other thread that came up was "Scott Baio: 45 and single."

But I'd love to hear about it.

 

[Zee-Row]

Is it wrong of me to wish the worst on these people that bully victims of gun violence? I don’t see any scenario where these people can look themselves in the mirror and say that they fucked up and feel sorry for anything.

 

[Dierce]

Why are conservative actors not just normal conservative but like the worst strain of conservative that exists?

Probably because there is no such thing as a normal conservative. There is just no justification for that type of ideology either rationally or emotionally.

 

[Kurdel]

Twitter was a mistake, for real.

It’s what it must feel like being a mind reader.

An ugly mirror of human society.

 

[Griss]

I don't see what the point is of signal boosting disgusting people saying upsetting things, really.

 

[yuoke]

There aren't many things that legitimately trigger me...but this definitely does. I don't even know how to respond to this.

 

[Messofanego]

Both pieces of shit deserve each other. Hope she faces consequences for this.

 

[Plinko]

Did a quick title search of his name and the only other thread that came up was "Scott Baio: 45 and single."

But I'd love to hear about it.

Someone on Twitter did some research. All evidence points to it being a huge scam that is possibly a tax shelter.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I wonder what goes through the head of these religious conservatives that are also pro-gun and do the opposite of what their own bible said they should do. They probably live in a state of constant mental conflict which makes them evil and bitter.

Doublethink. Hopefully its so mentally exhausting that...well I only have bad things to say here so Ill save it.

 

[nel e nel]

What a fucking cunt.

Also since when has Scott Baio been a piece of garbage? Really makes me question my love for Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

A while now, but because he's no longer in charge, he doesn't get as much coverage as he used to.

Some one really needs to zap him and his wife.

 

[DonShula]

Twitter has given the worst of us the ability to communicate with anyone on any subject without the burden of looking into their eyes in person. It has completely removed the human element from communication.

Certainly this wasn't the intent of Twitter but it's most definitely the result of it.

 

[Wildo09]

I thought the context might make it a little bit better.

Nope, it makes it way way way worse.

Yeah, this is one of the times in which the full quote makes it looks even worse.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

What in the flying fuck. What a fucking bitch.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Nothing has exposed more racist, homophobic, sexist, and largely PoS individual than twitter.

no kidding. the narcissism of these folks that compel them to post garbage like this woman does a far better job of laying naked their true feelings on things than previous mediums, and we are better armed to identify and take action or inaction (ignore) whichever is more prudent, than identifying subtleties and innuendos that are more open to misinterpretation.

 

[Wag]

What could possibly motivate someone to re-traumatize someone over losing a child?

I don't understand.

 

[Servbot24]

"I'll pray for you."

Fucking villainous.

 

[LoserMakesGood]

So I don't understand the conspiracy theory aspect of it.

Is it because you don't want to admit that a white person could be bad, you love guns, or both?

Because it doesn't make any sense. "This is all made up so they can take our guns!"

"......so uh....why didn't they?"

conversation over. At best they will shut up, at worst they go on an insane tirade.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Stupid sack of shit

 

[bootsthecat]

Does Renee Baio post the same kind of stuff as hubby ie conspiracies, negative things in general? I can't tell as it seems her tweets are protected.

The reason I ask is that while what she said is indefensible, it was a reaction to a tweet by the Sandy Hook mom giving her a hard time for something her husband said, not her.
