Nicole was distraught after the interview, and off air she was an emotional wreck.
She told me it was much worse than she described on air.
She said, ‘He molested me as a child, and I didn’t know any better.'"
“I had never experienced anything like that before either.
So he was playing on not only my emotions, but my hormones and all of those things.
And it’s scary.
That’s intimidating, especially when you’re that young.”
According to Eggert, she only realized “this is not love” as she got older.
“That was my delusion and that was my coverup always.

I always lied about it because I didn’t want anybody to know.”
“The reality show was about him having therapy for womanizing.
That’s what people don’t understand,” Eggert told Kelly.
“I went on there to call him out on some of the women he mistreated on our set.
That’s what that appearance was about.
It was about his womanizing.”
Eggert said she “got really good at covering up” her pain when discussing Baio in past interviews.
I didn’t want anybody to look at me and think, ‘Oh, victim.'"
