Default Charles in Charge star Alexander Polinsky to accuse Scott Baio of sexual harassment

...and sexual abuse as a minor

http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/scot...ge-1202697933/

In supporting co-star Nicole Eggert last week in her sexual misconduct allegations against Baio, Polinsky accused Baio of physically assaulting and mentally abusing him. Variety reports that Polinsky has scheduled a press conference for Wednesday in which he'll also accuse Baio of sexually abusing and sexually harassing him when he was a child actor on the syndicated sitcom. The press conference will mark Polinsky's first time speaking out about his allegations.

Alexander Polinsky calls Scott Baio a "tyrant" who would pull his pants down in front of the crew and bully him with homophobic taunts
The Charles in Charge star says Baio abused him on set of the syndicated sitcom when he was between the ages of 12 and 15. “I dreaded the teasing and daily attacks on my personality,” said Polinsky of Baio's alleged "hazing" and "torture," which included throwing a cup of hot tea in his face. Polinsky was joined at his press conference this morning by his attorney Lisa Bloom and co-star Nicole Eggert, who has accused Baio of molesting her when she was underage.

Scott Baio denies all allegations from former Charles in Charge co-stars Nicole Eggert and Alexander Polinsky
“For reasons I don’t understand, I am the target of false claims that threaten everything that is important in my life," Baio said in a statement read by his spokesperson at a press conference. "I am hurt and I am angry, but mostly, I am stunned that anybody can be so cruel to attack not just me, but my family."

If Scott was so awful, then why did Alex Polinsky show up to Baio’s 50th birthday party? Why did Nicole?

Pantsing someone is not sexual harrassment. And the use of the word “f*ggot” was commonplace among boys and young men during the 80s. I didn’t like it then and I don’t like it now, but if that constitutes sexual harrassment, then a whole lot of people are guilty of it.

Lisa Bloom, who is representing both, is a vile person. Google her.

Oh yea. I heard that word all the time in my school. Just awful but that's the way it was. And I agree. I just don't understand why Nicole and Alex would have anything to do with Scott after the TV show ended. Nicole even appeared on Scott's reality show a few years ago. You know I was bullied in school and I never wanted to associate with any of them again. It's not normal.

The beginning of this video says it all. She was good friends with him way after the show. I'm not saying Scott is an angel - he should've known better being 11 years older than her, but I don't know - you shouldn't judge people by today's standard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLsxL73q-Q0

As for Alexander - okay what happened was ****ty, but being bullied every so often is a part of childhood. Excessive bullying is wrong, but the odd prank or name-calling is all part of growing up.

NOTE : Whilst googling I see that Scott is very pro-Trump / Republican. Hollywood being very Democratic, I wonder if these events have a deeper purpose.

I remember BACK IN THE DAY , NICOLE EGGERT AND ALEX POLINSKY FLAUNTED THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH SCOTT BAIO
- PREENING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS AS THEY SMILED AND TIGHTLY HELD ONTO HIM DURING HIS 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Now this is THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEIR NAMES IN THE MEDIA - by hiring AN AMBULANCE CHASER OF AN ATTORNEY.

LISA BLOOM HAS PAID FOR "VICTIMS".
SHE'S AFTER SCOTT BECAUSE HE'S A VOCAL TRUMP SUPPORTER.
HATRED RUINS LIVES.

( Nikki )

Why has NICOLE EGGERT WAITED SO LONG to make such serious allegations ??
Why has ALEX POLINSKY WAITED SO LONG to make such serious allegations ??

Answer : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I have come to the conclusion that LISA BLOOM WILL SUE ANY MAN
AS LONG AS SHE CAN FIND A FAKE VICTIM TO MAKE FALSE ALLEGATIONS.

( Javier )

LISA BLOOM, like her mother Gloria Allred, is A MEDIA WHORE.

THERE WAS NO ABUSE.
This former little boy ( ALEX POLINSKY ) was JUST TEASED on the set,
maybe even PUSHED AROUND but NEVER ASSAULTED OR ABUSED.

This is nothing but A SHAKEDOWN.

( Greg H. )

ALEXANDER POLINSKY :
a BURNT OUT, HAS-BEEN CHILD ACTOR with NO CAREER and NO FUTURE
hoping for A PAYDAY THAT WILL SUPPORT HIS DRUG ADDICTION in perpetuity.

( Tikkun 613 )

ALEX POLINSKY is one of those NOBODY ACTORS who NEEDS
some HEADLINES in the hope of RELAUNCHING HIS DEAD CAREER.
He NEVER MADE IT and WILL NEVER MAKE IT.
Look at him. He thinks he's THE REINCARNATED TINY TIM.

( Spyder RT )

This TRANSITIONING LOSER is just looking for A PAY OUT so he can get HIS SEX CHANGE.
If he doesn't get a pay day, he's going on THE PAULY SHORE IMPERSONATION TOUR.
If he was CALLED any NAMES, HE MOST LIKELY HAD THEM COMING.
He just looks like ONE OF THOSE BRATS WHO RAN THEIR MOUTHS 24 / 7.
He's A SNOWFLAKE WHO GETS HURT BY THE CHANGING OF THE WIND.

( bbaccc )

ALEXANDER POLINSKY :
a FAILED MACAULEY CULKIN IMPERSONATOR
who's now on The Scott Baio Gravy Train.

( Eddie C. )

This smells way too bad.

Smells like SOMEONE IS ANGRY THEY DIDN'T GET THE SHOWBIZ CAREER THAT SCOTT BAIO DID.

Smells like SOMEONE MAY HAVE BEEN DISCIPLINED ON THE SET OR DIDN'T HAVE THE TALENT
THAT SCOTT BAIO HAD AND GOT JEALOUS.

30 years later, they are TEAMING UP TO ACCUSE AN INNOCENT MAN OF SOMETHING
that can NEVER be PROVEN.

The pendulum is going to swing harshly the other way.

SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR FAME THAT THEY NEVER ACQUIRED WITH SKILL.

( Clearly Christian )

That "SOMEONE" is ALEXANDER "JEALOUS TURD-WRECK" POLINSKY.

Please do your research on ALEXANDER POLINSKY.

This man is AN ECCENTRIC NUT.
He makes his living by SELLING AND WEARING
UNICORN PRINTED "ONESIES" made for adult men.
He is DRAMATIC and RIDICULOUS.
He is UNSTABLE and DESPERATE.

I've seen the videos and HISTRIONICS myself.

ALEXANDER POLINSKY'S RETWEETED MESSAGE DATED SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 :

"First day of work on CIC.
I HAD BEEN A FAN OF SCOTT FOR YEARS
And it was like A DREAM GETTING TO WORK WITH HIM."

ALEXANDER POLINSKY'S TWITTER STATEMENT DATED MAY 9, 2016 :

"SCOTT BAIO AND WILLIE AAMES MADE ME LAUGH so hard.
They had GREAT CHEMISTRY on screen."

If Alex Polinsky had been truly abused, bullied, harmed, traumatized, wronged, etc.
by Scott Baio on the set of Charles In Charge nearly 30 years ago,

WHY DID ALEX VOLUNTARILY AND EMPHATICALLY :
1. PRAISE SCOTT AS A FRIEND, MENTOR AND CO-STAR in September 2015 ??
2. PROCLAIM HIS OWN VERY FOND MEMORIES OF THE SHOW in May 2016 ??

I wonder why Josie Davis has kept pretty mum on the matter? I'm not necessarily suggestion that that must mean that she doesn't have a "dog in the fight" (if that makes sense). Perhaps Josie in part, doesn't want to get involved in that quagmire since unlike Alex (who works more as a voice actor these days) and Nicole (who's career more or less, peaked with Baywatch back in the early '90s), has "more to lose" considering that she still has a reasonably successful career as a working actress.

TMC must have missed all of this :

ACTRESS JOSIE DAVIS DEFENDS SCOTT BAIO
AND DENIES NICOLE EGGERT'S FALSE SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIMS

SCOTT BAIO is getting some reinforcement from co-star
JOSIE DAVIS over claims made by NICOLE EGGERT
saying that Scott forced Josie to remove her pants when she was just 13.

EGGERT was going back and forth with Baio fans on Twitter. She SAID at one point :

"ASK SCOTT BAIO WHY HE DEMANDED JOSIE DAVIS
PULL HER PANTS DOWN WHEN SHE WAS 13."

JOSIE, who played Sarah Powell on Charles In Charge, CAME TO SCOTT'S DEFENSE
AND CALLED NICOLE'S ALLEGATIONS COMPLETELY FALSE:

"THE ALLEGATION THAT NICOLE EGGERT MADE ON TWITTER
SAYING THAT SCOTT BAIO WAS INAPPROPRIATE WITH ME
IS COMPLETELY FALSE.

I ONLY HAD A POSITIVE AND A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

OUT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE INVOLVED, I WILL NOT BE RESPONDING FURTHER ON THE MATTER."

BRIAN GLICKLICH, Mr. Baio's representative, tells TMZ :

"FROM THE BEGINNING, NICOLE EGGERT'S INCONSISTENT STORIES HAVE PROVEN HER CLAIMS TO BE UNTRUE.

SHE HAS TRIPPED OVER HER WORDS AGAIN AND IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A CHARADE.

SCOTT IS PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL TO JOSIE DAVIS FOR HER INTEGRITY AND DECENCY."

Last November 2, JOSIE DAVIS ( Sarah ) happily attended the official CHARLES IN CHARGE
meet and greet autograph signing convention at THE HOLLYWOOD SHOW.

The historic CAST REUNION included SCOTT BAIO himself ( Charles ), WILLIE AAMES ( Buddy ),
ELLEN TRAVOLTA ( Lillian ), SANDRA KERNS ( Ellen ), JENNIFER RUNYON ( Gwendolyn ),
APRIL HANEY a.k.a. APRIL LERMAN ( Lila ) and others.

Understandably BARRED from their joyous fan gathering were FAKE METOO ACCUSER NICOLE "LYING WHORE" EGGERT
as well as POVERTY-STRICKEN OPPORTUNIST ALEX "JEALOUS TURDWRECK" POLINSKY.

NICOLE was last seen bullying, harassing and threatening wounded soldiers and disabled military vets on Twitter.
She also has been recently implicated in the political sabotaging of a memorial fund raising charity event
for a murdered police officer's grieving widow and children sponsored by The Fallen Officers Foundation.

ALEX has not yet emerged from the darkness of the unflushed toilet bowl where he previously crawled back into.
