Erin Andrews: Elisabeth Hasselbeck never called me to apologize

Gifting Services Honoring Season 10 Opener of Dancing with the Stars
Elizabeth Hasselbeck made some ignorant and offensive comments on The View last week about how Dancing With The Stars competitor Erin Andrews was wearing such skimpy outfits that her stalker probably thought he could have avoided jail time had he just waited to see her half dressed until she was on the show. Erin’s stalker is currently serving a two and a half year sentence for stalking her, taping her nude and posting the video online. He’s victimized at least 16 other women.

Hasselbeck issued a tearful apology on The View the next day and told a personal story about how her daughter asked her why she didn’t just call Andrews and say she was sorry. She then claimed to have done just that, but according to Andrews that’s not true at all. Andrews, who initially called Hasselbeck’s remarks a “slap in the face to victims,” says that she never spoke to Hasselbeck. Andrews’ dance partner and rumored love interest, professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, clarified that he designs Andrews’ outfits and called Hasselbeck “jealous” and “stupid“:

Erin Andrews is still waiting by the phone for Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s apology.

Last week, Hasselbeck insulted Andrews’ skimpy DWTS costumes in light of the peephole stalker who posted a nude video of her (he is now serving a 2 1/2-year prison term). The next day, Hasselbeck tearfully apologized to Andrews on The View, saying that her 5-year-old daughter, Grace, told her to just call Andrews, “and I followed her advice,” Hasselbeck said.

But Andrews told UsMagazine.com at Monday night’s DWTS: “I didn’t speak with her, no. I never talked to her.”

The ESPN reporter, 32, says she’s “dealt with” Hasselbeck’s remarks. “I’m moving on,” she told Us. “I’m tired of talking about it. It’s a new week.”

Still, she admits she was pleased that partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy had her back. (Chmerkovskiy defended her: “I’m the one designing [Andrews’] dresses for the show, so I’ll just assume that [Hasselbeck] is jealous… and stupid….”)

“It was really nice to have Maks stick up for me and the entire cast and a lot of the media,” says Andrews, who got a 53 out of 60 for her Argentine tango and ’80s rumba. “We got a ton of support.”

[From US Weekly]

I doubt Erin is “waiting by the phone” as US reports, and she sounds completely over Elisabeth’s cruel remarks. She went through so much and was stalked and videotaped around the country for a year and a half. In Erin’s statement to the press following her stalker’s sentencing this March she said she suffered nightmares and anxiety and was still “being victimized every day” by the fact that her nude video would remain online forever. Hasselbeck is such a piece of work to say something so mean spirited and spiteful about Andrews. I’m not surprised to hear that she never called her personally as she claimed.

    Enough already. No one cares. Erin is milking the nude tape thing for all its worth. I had sympathy for her because she was being spied on, but alright already.

  2. Chico says:

    I knew it. Hasslecrack’s apology was for show only. She didn’t really mean it, or she would have called Erin and apologized in person. What a FAKE.

    Time for The View to let her go, I feel.

  3. Vanessa says:

    Busted! I knew she was full of it [Elizabeth that is]

  4. Raven says:

    Ah, yes, the aura of born-again in the morning.

  5. nycmom10024 says:

    Uh oh! next move Elizabeth. As I always tell my daughter, never tell a lie so easily refuted.

  6. Lenore says:

    …did this Hasselbeck chick just expect Andrews to go, “She apologised? Huh. Gee, I don’t remember… but I guess it musta happened if I heard it on TV.” Like Erin Andrews wasn’t going to stand up and go, “Never happened”.

    So now Elizabeth Hasselbeck has outed herself as basically ignorant, callous, insensitive and really, really dumb. Like, “If I close my eyes you won’t be able to see me” dumb.

  7. Juice in LA says:

    BY continuing to employ this twittwat, Barbara Walters has shat on her own reputation and legacy.
    No surprise that the moronic windbag Hasselbeck is a truly horrendous, awful person- as this story and her entire loudmouth career shows.

    I wish her nothing but the worst, and in my celebrity gossip fantasies pray for the day someone gets a hold of her scandal and ruins her (IF ONLY it was a hasselbeck DP special video being shopped by Vivid instead of Kendra..sigh.)

    TEAM ANDREWS All the way.

  8. hatsumomo says:

    I know this is horrifying and all, but I cant stop thinking about when Chuck Liddel was video taped working out completely naked and a guy got the video through the window and posted it online.

  9. Praise St. Angie! says:

    not surprising at all.

    and yes, hasselcrack IS stupid. if she weren’t, she wouldn’t have said that in the first place because she would have realized how hurtful it could be.

    that whole show is full of stupidity.

    Whoopi, who says that the Polanski rape wasn’t “rape rape”…Sherri, who still thinks that the earth is flat (guess she’s never seen a satellite pic?)…Hasselcrack, who…well, I don’t need to explain THAT one…Joy, who, while smarter than the rest, is annoying as all hell, and then there’s Babs…who’s fallen so far from what she used to be. Seriously…the people she chooses for “most fascinating”? UGH…

    I have TRIED to watch that show when I’m home from work, and I just can’t. too much (shrill) talking over each other.

    EDIT: to Lenore…

    “Like, “If I close my eyes you won’t be able to see me” dumb.”

    BRILLIANT!

    to Morning Glory…um…Andrews is not “milking” anything. this whole thing was brought up by hasselcrack, and Andrews simply responded. did you miss the part where Andrews said “I’m moving on”?

  10. jdao says:

    What a bitch. I mean, her daughter has to tell her what the decent thing to do is? Geez…she couldn’t figure that out?

  11. lucy2 says:

    I can’t believe Elisabeth said ON AIR that she followed her daughters advice to call Erin and apologize. Instead she did it publicly on the show with her oh so emotional tears?
    She should have called her personally to say something, and then told Erin that she’d like to say something on the show too.
    Seems like EH’s 5 year old is smarter than she is.

  12. Skins says:

    I just wonder if Erin is going to have any kind of broadcasting career after her appearence on DWTS. She comes accross as some kind of giggling schoolgirl with the constant fawning over her dance partner and I am sure the networks have noticed

  13. original kate says:

    when you are using a 5 year old as your moral compass something is wrong with you.

  14. Marjalane says:

    I wouldn’t be so quick to believe anything Erin Andrews has to say about getting a call or not- she is such a baltent fame ‘ho! Yes, getting spied on was nasty, but she Is CONSTANTLY coming up with something to get more attention. Those dumb fights she has with her dance partner and crying about being stalked are ridiculous. I’m sure she was happy as a clam to have dippy Elizabeth shoot her mouth off about her, (seriously) ugly dance costumes.

  15. vic says:

    Such vindictiveness for someone everyone believes is stupid. Wow! Erin is ditzy and milking it. Barbara Walters and “The View” lost all credibility eons ago.

  16. terry says:

    Erin is so much classier than Elizabeth.

  17. Lady Nightshade says:

    Please explain to me how Erin is milking this? Hasselbeck said something very offensive and Erin’s response was classy and acknowledged that it wasn’t all about her.

    She now says she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. Of course she isn’t gonna lie and say Hasselback is her best friend now…why should she?

  18. annaloo says:

    Elizabeth will tell LIES through her teeth and use her own daughter as feature player.

    That is MESSED up …

  19. LolaBella says:

    I think Grace needs to sit her Mommy down and explain that lying isn’t nice!

    I guess we’ll have to wait for another ‘tearful and totally heartfelt, genuine apology’ from Hasselbeck on tomorrow’s episode, right? 🙄

  20. irishserra says:

    @terry: No really. They’re both seriously lacking in the class department.

  21. teri says:

    EH is such a coward and people have noticed. Sitting next to an abortion queen daily and praising her to sitting next to BW daily who had an affair for ten years to a married man with kids. Yes she’s a phoney christian. Praising the people she sits next to day in and day out but judgeing people on pure speculation is just rediculous. Hate you EH and yes you are a hypocrite. Most of the people she critisizes has never killed anyone or been arrested for what they’ve done. Wanting to bash someone on pure speculation but claiming to be a christian is bs.

  22. JulieNewmar says:

    Both are class-less bitches and need to STFU.

  23. Morning Glory says:

    Who heard of Erin before the tape scandal? No one but guys who watched ESPN for the blond reporters. I am a sports fan and I didn’t know her by name until the tape thing. She was one of a dozen or more blond sideline sports reporters until she got stalked, and then all of a sudden she’s in commercials with Peyton Manning and appearing on dancing with the stars and turning up in gossip columns. She is using it.

    Name me another female ESPN anchor/sideline reporter. I’ll bet no one can. Except Erin because she’s associated with a scandal.

  24. Skipper says:

    I agree with Maks: ASS-el-crack is stupid and jealous, period. There’s nothing more that can be said about that useless excuse for DNA.

  25. Kim says:

    I Think Elizabeth contacted Erin’s rep or ESPN. BTW I have never seen any dumb fights between Erin and her partner quite the opposite. If Erin was milking the stalking incident she would have done multiple interviews.

  26. teri says:

    Her stalker was a big creepy man, who on here wants to be stalked like she has? How terrifying and embarassing for her. There are millions of desperate girls who give it out for free or a small fee, why target innocent women and girls who want to be left alone. By girl I mean 18 and over. Believe it or not I was propositioned at 17 to do p.rn with my then bf by an older man while traveling with his family. It was quite scary being approached and very degrading.

  27. Danielle says:

    Ugh. I am so over both of them.

  28. Loser1 says:

    @Morning Glory: Linda Cohn, espn broadcaster & avid Mets fan!

    I knew who EA was before the scandal. I dont know how anyone can blame Erin or accuse her of being a fame whore. What happened to her was horrible. Because more people know who she is now because of it does not make her a fame whore. I’m sure she would prefer to be known for something else as well.

    EH is a classless jerk. And I agree 100% with teri. The View should fire this fake!

  29. mr. stinky fishface says:

    Morning Glory I can name several because I have always wanted to be a sideline reporter. I mean hello Bonnie Bernstein, Suzy Kolber, and Wendy Nix.

    And lots of people know about Erin Andrews because of her supposed affair with Tim Tebow 🙂

  30. Paul E. Stanley says:

    You know. You would never know that we are dealing with adults. Grow the heck up people.

  31. Morning Glory says:

    Alright, I underestimated my fellow sports fans. I still say she’s using her scandal-found fame, and its getting old. It still comes off to me that she’s using the attention and sympathy. She could have said nothing, and quietly gone back to the sports world. She hasn’t. She’s gone to Hollywood. Now people are talking about her because of Hasselbeck. That’s milking it to me.

  32. annaloo says:

    ESPN and ABC are both owned by DISNEY!!

    We’ve been had!

  33. Feebee says:

    Can someone explain to me the hate on Erin Andrews. I hadn’t heard of her before the scandal (don’t follow US sports) but the scandal was news because of you she is. She was a “name victim”. She hasn’t milked it, she’s simply stood up for herself. So what if she’s done commercials? So have lots of people. Lesser known names have done DWTS. She’s hardly gone Hollywood. In between her “scandal” and DWTS she returned to work as a reporter. Why would she want to “milk” something that caused her so much pain and anxiety?

    As for Hasselbeck, she’s a poor excuse for a human being. Nothing she say or does (or doesn’t do) surprises me anymore.

  34. Julbug says:

    Why would anyone expect anything less from EH.
    I hate that phony-“I’m a Christian” crap that she dishes out at every opportunity. I don’t watch that show anymore because of her. period.

  35. kelbear says:

    I don’t think she needed to apologize in the first place. Anyone could have made that same comment, it just wouldn’t have been on television. But since she did say sorry for it, she could of just said it to Erin herself and left it at that.

  36. danielle says:

    Also Hasselbeck’s a hypocrite – first time we all saw her on tv she was in a swimsuit on survivor.

  37. Wisteria says:

    Wow, that’s pretty bad. First Hasslebeck’s jealous comment (a very common thing among prissy, repressed religious women), and now it seems she’s a liar too. She’s really lost what little respectability she had. I thought she was a good, caring Christian, overflowing with the love of Jesus inside her, like she’s always telling everyone. What a hypocrite.

  38. Mistral says:

    I think talking about this horrible thing that happened to her is good for her. When you can talk about something like that, it shows that the wounds are healing somewhat. What happened to her is so invasive and frightening and horrible. I think that stalking laws need to go way further to protect victims, with way harsher penalties.

    Her saying that Elizabeth never apologized reminds me of the time Shaq went on a radio station claiming to have slept with one of the Williams sisters (forget which one) and a few other famous women (I think Cindy Crawford was one) that he hadn’t ever slept with. The women were mad, and then he went on and said that he was just joking around and just “talking”, and that he had called the ladies to apologize. Then the Williams sister made a statement that he had never called to apologize, and “maybe he imagined that, too.” LOL.

  39. Me says:

    OK, who’s milking their 15 minutes…I would say EH is because she went from nobody to on the View as the annoying one and married to a (bad) QB…she is the one milking the fame

  40. anon says:

    Wisteria is on the money with prissy gossipy repressed types!

    SO SICK of Erin milking this goddamned tape thing. ENOUGH, guy is gross and in jail. She is eating up all this extra attention now. And that Maxsim thing is cheesy and gross and he certainly likes the chicks with long thin man faces/noses (Karina Smirnoff Vodka, anyone? His ex?) anyway…whatever. This shit is all so annoying. EH lying when it would be so easily exposed is weird though.. what was she thinking?!? Wonder if she’ll be on The View much longer. Not like I care I cannot watch that show of gossipy shrikes. Too harsh.

  41. Kelaa Khaa says:

    Maybe Babs should put a dude on the view? And I wish it could be Robert Downey Jr.

  42. Aurora says:

    I stopped watching The View because of Hasselbeck; she is vicious and cruel – arrogant and clueless. I won’t watch again as long as she is on the show.

  43. cprincess says:

    Cant stand Hasslecrack and I barely know this Erin chick however the fact that some creepoid invaded her privacy like that is horrible….
    The thing is with Hasslecrack-I think that she is deliberately more shrill and more Republican just to get publicity….
    Then again she is a freind of Palin so that probably sums her up…
    BTW-both of these women with their over processed blond hair and dark roots is the reason that I darkened my hair down this year-both of them need to rethink their color….

  44. zen says:

    I dont see how anyone can accuse Erin of milking this. See how you would feel if the same thing happened to you and the videos were still out there for anyone to view at anytime. I would be mortified at just the thought of someone spying on me, not to mention posting nude videos of me online.
    As far as that dingbat EH, who the heck is she and how did she get on the view anyhow?
    I only hear about her when there is a dispute but I dont know how she came to be on that show in the first place. The dingy seems to make an ass of herself every time she opens her mouth.

  45. Claire says:

    WOW marjalane–calling Erin a fameho for responding to this? A normal person would respond to Elizabeth’s lies. And, If you call her a fameho then you have to call everyone on tv one. I don’t think Erin is the exception here. Some people are so nasty and mean-spirited. Erin DID NOT deserve what happened to her and I feel bad that she had to go through that. It’s NORMAL to have sympathy for people. Doesn’t mean we all want to give her a reward–it’s just basic empathy–some thing some people on this site don’t seem to have. SAD.

  46. Beth says:

    I don’t think Elisabeth is lying but really exaggerated what happened. I think she called Erin’s manager, DWTS, or somebody at ABC and said she was sorry. Since she’s stupid, she went on air acting like she talked to Erin personally and they had a heart to heart. Erin either didn’t get the message or answered literally when saying she didn’t speak with Elisabeth. But I would think if she did receive a message Erin would have said something instead of letting people think Elisabeth did nothing. Bottomline Elisabeth is a tool for misleading people.

    I don’t know why people are calling Erin a famewh*re. She only did one short interview with Oprah. A fameho would have talked to everybody and done every single photoshoot. The interviews she’s doing now are for DWTS. They always do interviews after the shows, when they are knocked out, etc. She’s not doing anymore than anybody else.

  47. Patrice says:

    If there’s one thing in life I love, it’s a bad liar! This girl was JUST on “Extra” last night saying that Hasselbeck DID in fact call her people to apologize, but that she wouldn’t accept the call. So which one is it sweetheart? Either Elizabeth did or didn’t call you, but it definetly can’t be both.

    God Erin Andrews annoys me. She seems like one of those girls that always has to be the center of attention and trys waaaaaay to hard (unsuccesfully) to be sexy. Have you seen her on that show? It’s sad. But I do still feel bad about the whole stalking/comments about it thing. That shiz was way out of line.

  48. Kim says:

    Erin took a bad situation and exploited herself out for fame off it. NO ONE (ok maybe 1% of population) knew who she was before the peeping Tom indicent and she could have handled it with grace because what he did to her is terrible and she was violated but I feel she used her bad situation to further her infamy.

    Elizabeth was worng but she apologized and Erin could take the high road and publicly accept her apology and use it to help other victims saying Im glad Elizabeth recognized her comments were hurtful to victims etc. instead she is taking the low road and acting immature.

  49. TaylorB says:

    I must say that if someone stalked me and taped me naked while I was alone in my hotel room without my consent, then above and beyond the initial violation posted it on the web for all to see I would feel terribly violated and angry. And if someone made fun of that situation I would think that they either had no concept of reality, were totally stupid, or they were simply a nasty B*tch.

    I don’t know Erin from Adam, but to make a joke out of some woman being stalked and video taped by a pervert is basically disgusting. I must wonder how Ms. Hasselbeck would feel if she found out someone was secretly video taping her naked in the hotel bathroom? Probably wouldn’t be quite as funny.

  50. CC says:

    I find Erin annoying and ditzy, but honestly how could you even argue she exploited it? She was known for being a hot reporter, an awful thing happened and she became even more famous. She spoke out strongly against the man, testified against him and now he is in jail. She made no money off any of it.

    Do you think she exploited because she accepted the dancing with the stars offer? They offer it to athletes, it makes sense they would offer it to a good looking reporter. All my guy friends and boy friend knew who she was before the tape.

    I really don’t understand at what point she exploited it. Should she have said no to dancing with the stars because she was victim of a crime?

  51. Marjalane says:

    Sorry you’re offended Claire! (No really I’m not) I’m not a fan of Erin Andrews and yeah, I think she’s using her unfortunate experience with the peeping Tom to extend her 15 minutes, and to drum up some sympathy votes on DWTS. By the way, forums like this are just that- forums to voice an opinion.

  52. TaylorB says:

    Wow!?!?!

    Anyone who watches ESPN knows who EA is, and has for quite some time, long before DWTS… granted I suspect there are not a ton of sports fans on a celeb website so I digress.

  53. westcoaster says:

    ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney. The View is on ABC and so is DWTS It all seems a little too cozy. It is almost as if this fight between Erin and EH is just to up the ratings for DWTS and The View. I would be curious to see what the ratings for both shows were like after all this hit the fan

  54. Catherine says:

    Neither one of these women seem to possess a genuine bone in their bodies, so enough already.

  55. michellllle says:

    What an attractive woman. I wonder how much of this was about jealousy on EH’s part. Afterall, she seems to pride herself on being some sort of super fit jock. She has a decent figure but her body is hardly a 10 & her face appears to have been repeatedly smacked w/ an ugly stick. Moreover, her husband was dropped as a pro QB & supposedly landed some minor gig as an occasional ESPN reporter/personality. Would not be surprised if the dig had more to do w/ her being too close for comfort to her man. She has afterall made repeated comments indicating she’s insecure where her husband’s attention is concerned.

  56. GatsbyGal says:

    Totally not shocked. Hasselbeck doesn’t have one single shred of moral finber. She’s a plagarist, to boot.

  57. JJ says:

    Erin a famewhore? So, she responds to this whole tawdry situation, and she’s dubbed a famewhore? Some of the people on this site are beyond belief. No wonder men believe they can get away with this crap–they have stupid, idiots like Hasslecrack and the people on this site bascially siding with them. Some guy exploits her in the worst way. So, she talks about it, and then moves on. If it was me, the guy would be in the hospital right now. I’m sure she would have been offered DWTS anyways, because she’s a pretty lady and a famous reporter. Last I checked, they offered that gig to pretty much anyone. Either way, she DID NOT PLAN for this to happen to her, and she’s done nothing wrong.

  58. EMV says:

    I smell a book coming from Erin Andrews….

  59. freckles says:

    Wow… I hope that if any one of you people who are blaming Erin had a well publicized peeping Tom video, people would show more compassion to you than you are for her. Of course it made her a bigger star, get a nude/sex tape of ANY moderately famous person and it will GREATLY affect how well known they are, whether they like it or not. If she wanted to exploit it, she wouldn’t have fought it so aggressively and she would still be talking about it. The only reason it’s coming up now is because of EH. And for whoever said she’s trying to drum up DWTS votes from it… REALLY??? Because winning a stupid dance competition that means NOTHING to anyone is worth the humiliation and invasion of a video like that? It’s not like Erin did Playboy and Hustler, and then had a tape come out and “was like omg so embarrassed”… THAT’S when you could argue she’s shooting for sympathy votes. Seriously, dislike her because you think she’s stupid or annoying, or because your husband wants to f*ck her and you’re jealous, but don’t use that as an excuse to suggest she WANTED this to happen to her. You’re just as bad as EH if that’s really what you think. This wasn’t a sex tape she chose to make that conveniently “leaked”, like Kendra. This was a video that was not only released without her consent… it was FILMED without her consent (or knowledge)! And the guy did it to 16 other women, so you know that the story is true and Erin had no control over the situation. Yes, this is a forum for opinion but if your opinion is that (and I can’t believe I’m using this word) misogynistic, maybe you should try to ask yourself what the hell is going through your brain to make you think that.

    Anyways.. it was bad enough when I thought she really did apologize… now that I know that she apparently didn’t, that’s just awful.

  60. DoMaJoReMc says:

    @ michelllle:
    …Would not be surprised if the dig had more to do w/ her being too close for comfort to her man…..

    I thought the same exact thing when all this first happened. She (EH) does seem like an insecure b!tch!

    Also, for anyone out there saying that Erin Andrews is ‘milking this’, etc….I really hope and pray that something like this never happens to you, your Mom, your Sister, your Daughter or your Friends. This sh!t is going to be all over the internet FOREVER. When she has a husband and children she will have to hope they never have to see this. Sorry, but I am willing to bet you that if given the choice of whether this happened to her or whether it didn’t SHE WOULD CHOOSE FOR IT TO HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.

    I, personally, am happy that she didn’t crawl into a shell and stop living her life. If she had done this, her stalker would have won.

    TEAM ERIN ALL THE WAY!

  61. Green Is Good says:

    Kick Hasselbitch to the curb already.

  62. CB Rawks says:

    Hasselbeck is such an ignorant, unfeeling bitch.

  63. Shay says:

    @Morning Glory

    There are a lot of people on DWTS that I don’t know. I don’t accuse them of trying to be fame hungry just because they’re doing the show. There were 2 other male ESPN announcers who have danced on the show that I know of so why can’t she as a woman do the show too? I think you’re lumping her with a Kim K. or Paris Hilton type but Erin actually had a job working in front of a camera before she was violated. Please remember that she was violated. She wasn’t a willing participant in the creation of a sex tape.

  64. Shay says:

    It would have made more sense for her to just apologize on air. Why make up a story and include your child in it?

  65. Chico says:

    I really think attacking Erin for milking this, or calling her a famewhore is another way people are blaming the victim for what’s happened to her. Erin didn’t ask for this to happen to her. And I think she dealt with it in a much better way than I would have. She would have done DWTS anyways, as she’s famous enough to be on that show. They’ve certainly invited less famous reality stars, so why not Erin?

    Finding fault with how she dealt with this excuses the horrible behavior of the man who did it. It’s like saying, “Well, she shouldn’t have done this or that . . . blah, blah, blah.” Basically, that’s the same type of judgmental which Hasselback made about Erin’s outfits on DWTS. How is Erin supposed to deal with this? Should she be a shut-in? Should she HIDE in shame? Should she keep her mouth shut when people make nasty comments about her?
    Should she dress like a nun on a tv show when others dress skantily?

    And, men wonder why they can do this to women? It’s because people excuse their behavior and resort to blaming the victim–that’s why. SICK AND SAD.

  66. Scout says:

    A little late here, but I agree with Morning Glory! At first, I was very supportive of EA. But after HEARING her talk about this incident “ruining” her life, etc., then watching her strut around having the TIME of her life and getting way too much attention for doing nothing, really, I have lost sympathy. It appears that this spying thing has given her tons of notoriety and opportunities – which is sort of sick. I am NOT for peepers so please don’t gang up on me – but I do think she is milking it for all its worth and that is just as wrong as what was done to her in the first place. She needs to get over herself. And by the way, I can’t even stand Hasselback so this is not in defense of that twit. Rant over….:-)

  67. Lita says:

    Nobody seems to have touched this angle – seriously she talked to her 5yo about this? Going to hope she just left the facts all blurry .. But still!

  68. freckles says:

    @Scout, asking purely out of curiosity and not emotion (anymore, lol), what were you expecting her to do? I think her doing DWTS is good for her career with or without the tape, and what is she supposed to do on that show? I think that if she was seen moping around publicly instead of putting on a happy face, she’d still be criticized. I just think it’s a shame that people are being so critical of her, we all deal with grief/embarrassment differently and some of us choose to move on with our lives a little sooner than others might.

  69. p3rp3tu4 says:

    Pretty cRUDE for E.H. to say what she did & insincere, hA55ELBECK lives up to her name LOL.

  70. Sns02215 says:

    That stupid c*&t Hatchetface should be stalked…oh wait, no one could stand to be in earshot of that screeching wench long enough!!!!

    I hope to God somehow this message reaches Elizabeth Hasselbeck: WHAT a HYPOCRITE YOU ARE! How DARE you criticize a VICTIM for wearing dancing costumes when your butt was PLASTERED all over national tv on SURVIVOR wearing much less??!! They were both appropriate for the venue. How soon you forget! I thought Christians were compassionate, understanding people, not seething, spiteful, vindictive people. You give Christianity a BAD NAME. Way to represent.

    @ scout – so what should EA have done – sit home in mourning clothes? joined a convent? never dance in public? just let her stalker control her life and her freedom? she consented to being on DWTS, just like all the other B-list celebs dancing on the show – she did NOT consent to being taped by a pervert. furthermore, how she reacted to being stalked has nothing to do with the fact that it was a terrifying, awful incident that she did nothing to deserve.

    Those outfits aren’t even that bad! There is so much flesh colored fabric in her outfits!

    Hasselback’s story about crying and talking to her 5 year old seemed fake and an excuse to wiggle out of her latest stupid, foot in the mouth antics. I’m not surprised she lied about calling Erin, because she probably lied about talking to Grace. She was probably told before they went on air about the enormous negative feedback against her and she had best make it right. EH is the #1 reason to not watch The View. Btw, EH should remember her little to nothing days on Survivor, didn’t she have a stalker too? EH is also very proud to show off her “girls” especially when she is pregnant with more revealing clothes…should we pass judgment? ack, such a hypocrite and liar.

    Exactly. Well stated.

    @Freckles – 15 years ago I learned about dealing with grief and moving on when I buried my 20 year old son. But thanks for your thoughtful comments abd for sharing them in what seems like a non-judgemental way. I stand by what I said – although, if I had taken more time, I think I could have explained myself a bit better and not evoked a few comments that were made in response. I am also learning not to take anyone’s comments on here too seriously because most of the time (not ALL the time) people are gut reacting and haven’t taken time to really think about it. I guess that is because, in the overall scheme of things in our lives, this stuff is just not all that important. It is just a hobby of sorts – one I may leave behind. 🙂

    Erin & Maks are the cutest thing since sliced bread. Hasselcrack needs to go back under that rock she crawled out from under. And she is milking being on Survivor for long enough now!!!!

    I can’t stand either of these women, but I don’t think it’s fair to attack Erin and call her a fame whore just because she refused to be victimized (by the stalker) and demeaned (by EH.)

    Even as somebody who despises EH I’m still appalled by her lying about this, and dragging her child into that lie. Didn’t she realize she’d be found out? It’s bizarre.

    Thanks for expressing your ideas. Another thing is that individuals have an alternative between government student loan plus a private student loan where its easier to select student loan consolidating debts than in the federal student loan.
