The View today?

[minnie56]

Anyone watch?

What happened with Elisabeth and her family?
Barbara Walters read a statement about them being stalked and harrassed and the newspapers/media having gotten hold of the story but I have heard nothing at all about this? Anyone else?

Gosh, there are indeed some fruitcakes in this world!

I watched it also and was shocked to hear that Elizabeth and Tim were being stalked. I googled it but nothing came up. Perhaps they got wind that the media was going to be alerted to this incident and wanted to break the story themselves.

So many celebrities ( David Lettermen, Jodie Foster, etc.) and not so famous people are stalked. Lisa Robertson on QVC had a horrible situation with a stalker a few years back and it seems like every few years you will hear of a local newscaster being followed and harassed.

I hate hearing about this especially considering she has such a young daughter at home, its very scary!

I just saw on Forensic Files a story about a female newscaster who was being stalked then was eventually killed. Turned out the "stalker" was her husband!

I saw this on the View this morning too and came here to see if anyone else knew what was going on? Guess not. That would be such a scary situation!

An extremely reliable source...'The National Enquirer' ha...

They mention it but not the details...something obviously implied about their care and/or behaviour with their child.

Pretty shameful....sad world

Looks like Britney's not the only celeb mom dealing with child services.

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck says she has been the target of an unidentified female stalker who has been phoning in false accusations to New York authorities claiming Hasselbeck is a poor parent.

"In recent weeks, Elisabeth and her husband, Tim, have been stalked and harassed by an individual or individuals who seem to want to do them harm," View ringleader Barbara Walters said on Wednesday morning's show. "Now, someone has contacted the papers."

According to a report in Wednesday's New York Daily News, an unknown woman "with a Southern twang" and claiming to be "a friend of the family" has phoned various agencies to make false and "creepy" allegations involving the Hasselbecks and their one-year-old daughter, Grace Elisabeth.

While the exact nature of the accusations is unknown, Hasselbeck calls them "disturbing."

"This is a malicious attempt to harass our family," Walters said, reading a statement on behalf of the Hasselbecks. "These allegations have been fully reviewed by child protective authorities and medical professionals and found to be absolutely false. This matter has been turned over to the district attorney's office for prosecution of the individual(s) responsible for the false accusation."

Hasselbeck's View cohorts, meanwhile, vouched for the 28-year-old's supermom skills.

"[It] might be somebody who doesn't like her politics or maybe somebody who's crazy or maybe somebody who wants the baby," Walters told the Daily News. "We just don't know."

After reading the family's statement on The View, Walters turned to Hasselbeck and said, "You have our love and our respect, we couldn't care about you or Tim more than we do. You have our admiration, our affection and our total support."

Hasselbeck, who remained quietly beside Walters as she read the statement, responded by saying she and her husband were "happy now that these accusations are on their way to becoming completely resolved."

I've been googling it all day thanks for the national enquire link. So, sad that people are so vicious.

I don't understand what's wrong with people like that?! I feel so sorry for Elisabeth and her family. I've liked her ever since I watched her on Survivor. Hopefully they can do something about this "unidentified female" and press charges.

Ditto! I knew I could eventually count on the most reliable news soucre, the Dis, to fill me in. I tried here right away.

That is really sad!

Wow, that's so not right.
