Scott Baio has clarified comments he made about his former “Happy Days” costar Erin Moran on live radio, saying that he now truly understands “the meaning of ‘Fake News.’”

“I was asked ONLY about Erin’s troubled past due to drug & alcohol abuse,” he wrote on Facebook on Monday. “I was still upset and said I felt that living that kind of a lifestyle will catch up with you and nothing good would come of it.
THIS WAS BEFORE THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS ANNOUNCED STATING STAGE 4 CANCER.”

The actor, who also starred opposite Moran on spinoff hit “Joanie Loves Chachi,” said that media wants to “paint a different picture of me and what really happened,” and begged people to “stop assuming the worse in me.”
