Tony Moran had a few choice words to say about Scott Baio after he hastily blamed his Happy Days co-star Erin Moran's death on drugs.

Erin's actor brother slammed Baio on social media, tweeting: '#scottbaio. Get on your knees and pray I never run into you.'

He also posted on Facebook referring to a short-lived fling his sister and Baio had when they were young TV stars and suggesting she dumped him because the actor's manhood was 'tiny.'

Defending his sister: Tony Moran, brother of Happy Days star Erin Moran, has slammed Scott Baio for his remarks suggesting the actress died from a drugs overdose

A few choice words: He tweeted out a thinly veiled threat to Baio, who found fame as Chachi on the hit sitcom and starred with Erin in the spin-off Joanie Loves Chachi

Once close: Erin and Scott had a brief fling when they were young TV stars. They're pictured in a promotional shoot for Happy Days in 1981

Called him out: Tony referred to the fling in a Facebook post suggesting his sister dumped her co-star because the actor's manhood was 'tiny'

Once it emerged that Erin's death at 56 was due to cancer, Baio apologized for his hasty remarks to New York's WABC.

When asked for comment on his former co-star's death, the staunch Republican had commented: 'if you do drugs or drink, you're going to die.'

It seems Baio's wife also tried to contact Tony directly, but the actor who is famous for playing the unmasked Michael Myers in horror classic Halloween, wasn't impressed.

He tweeted: '#scottbaio. Your wife contacts me? Not u? You f*****g scumbag coward piece of s***!'

Sorry: Baio, pictured at last summer's Republican National Convention in Cleveland, has since apologized for his overdose remarks after learning Erin likely died from cancer

Still not happy: Tony, though, lambasted him again on Twitter after his wife tried to contact him directly about the situation

Baio has subsequently described himself as 'heartbroken' over Erin's death and clarified in a Facebook post that he had heard reports that Moran died of a heroin overdose and the WABC radio interview took place before authorities mentioned her cancer.

Erin’s death, at her trailer park home in New Salisbury, Indiana on Saturday, was likely due to complications linked to the stage 4 cancer from which few seem to have known she was suffering.

Toxicology results are pending though no illegal drugs or paraphernalia were found in the small trailer home.

But Erin’s struggle with alcohol and substance abuse has been well documented.

R.I.P.: Erin passed away on Saturday at her home in New salisbury, Indiana, She was 56. The actress is pictured at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards in Los Angeles in 2008
