Ex-"Happy Days" star Scott Baio says he's received a barrage of death threats after he mocked Michelle Obama on Twitter, the New York Daily News reports.
Baio, 48, posted an unflattering picture of the first lady on Tuesday accompanied by some even more unflattering remarks.
"WOW He wakes up to this every morning," Baio tweeted.
In minutes, the former"Charles in Charge" star received a slew of angry comments.
Some were on the playful side: "Well she's still better looking than your doughy looking a--."
Others were downright frightening.
"Easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish YOU," one person wrote. "I am a republican and I love Mrs O."
Baio backtracked immediately, saying he's not a racist. His wife's best friend is black.
The reality TV star and vocal Republican even posted a picture of the woman and implored his detractors to back off.
"For New followers: I POST A LOT OF JOKES WITH PICS," Baio wrote. "They are JUST that, a joke. NOT targeting anyone. Laughter IS the best medicine."
The brouhaha prompted Baio to contact the FBI and scores of people to begin following him on Twitter.
"Because people love to hate," Baio said.
