Authorities say Scott Baio was at an event with his daughter on Saturday in Thousand Oaks, California, when Mack confronted him and allegedly began chiding and cursing him. Mack’s husband has been vocal about being anti-Donald Trump, citing him as a racist. Baio is one of Trump’s strongest celebrity supporters in Hollywood.

According to the report, Scott Baio told police that he asked Nancy Mack to keep it down because kids were present, but she didn’t back down. The wife of the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer demanded to know how he could support a man who said, “Grab ’em by the pu**y.”

Baio says she repeatedly screamed, “Grab ’em by the pu**y.”

Scott asked Nancy to stop, but she continued screaming the comment. He said at that point, Mack began attacked him physically by grabbing him under his arms, shaking, and pushing him.

Sources close to Nancy Mack claim she was mimicking how Donald Trump hugs women and meant no actual harm against Scott Baio.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department is reportedly investigating the incident. Mack is listed as a battery suspect.

Scott Baio has taken a lot of heat for being a Donald Trump supporter, but he’s dished a lot of it back to critics. Throughout the campaign, people were on Twitter issuing threats and he was one of the rare celebrities who voiced his support for the Republican president-elect. He spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention, saying in his speech that Hillary Clinton wanted the presidency only for herself, not for the American people.

Chad Smith, on the other hand, has ripped into anyone supporting the president-elect. An interview he gave to Virgin Radio was transcribed by Alternative Nation, in which he called Trump supporters “uneducated whites” who vote for a “sexual predator.”

“The people in America are white, uneducated, and they’re sick of Washington politics, and they think in their uneducated minds that any change is better than continuing with the same kind of politicians we have,” Smith said.

When Smith referenced the comments Trump made about feeling entitled to grab women by the genitals because of his fame, he said Trump could kill someone and his supporters would still vote for him.

“What’s scariest about it is that people who support him don’t care,” continued the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer. “He could probably come out in the next month and say he murdered somebody, and they’d still vote for him. It’s insane, it’s insanity. It’s disgusting, it’s a bummer.”

To most everyone’s surprise, Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency on November 8. A number of celebrities claimed they’d leave the country if Trump won, but are staying put. Among those who vowed to move if Trump won were Chelsea Handler, Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Cher, Jon Stewart, and Bryan Cranston.

Scott Baio is accustomed to dealing with anti-Trump protesters, but this the first time someone has gotten physical with him over his support of the president-elect. More celebrities in Hollywood align themselves with the political views of the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and his wife.
