Melissa Gilbert calling her “friend” Scott Baio a name on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” is pretty mild as Hollyweird shenanigans go. But millions of childhood memories say there’s just something wrong about Pa Ingalls’ little Half Pint rating Chachi a “6 or 7” out of 10 on the “a-hole scale.”
After giving it some thought, Gilbert agrees. She tweeted a four-part apology to Baio … that ended with part five.
Pt1:I have to fix something because I hurt a friend. I feel bad. When I did @Andy 's show I rated @ScottBaio on Andy's Asshole scale.

Pt2:@Andy @ScottBaio I went for the funny at Scott's expense. I should've said zero. Scott has been a friend for decades. I have no excuse.
— Melissa Gilbert (@MEGBusfield) January 29, 2014
Pt4:@Andy @ScottBaio but Scott, I've apologized privately and now I'm apologizing publicly. You are my sweet friend. A terrific father,
— Melissa Gilbert (@MEGBusfield) January 29, 2014
pt5: @Andy @ScottBaio a wonderful husband and a good friend. I adore you. I am the asshole. I am so so sorry.
— Melissa Gilbert (@MEGBusfield) January 29, 2014
Was there a part three?
@Andy @ScottBaio @MrsScottBaio and one very last thing….there is no Pt3 because I can't count.

Gilbert also apologized to Baio’s wife.
@Andy @ScottBaio and one last thing @MrsScottBaio a big "I'm sorry" to you too.

@ScottBaio @Andy the icing on the cake would be if I could post a pic of us going to my Jr year homecoming dance…but my Mom has those.

Is all forgiven? Yes.

By the way, Gilbert’s apology for calling Baio an a-hole comes as she makes the media rounds to promote her new children’s book.
