The comments set off Twitter frenzy with her dancing co-stars. Her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy quickly fired back: ""I'm the one designing [Andrews'] dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that [Hasselbeck] is jealous... and stupid...."

Louis Van Amstel wrote: "Why did u have to throw @erinandrewsespn under the bus this morning? Shame on [you] ... Leave her alone. Aren't u all working for the same network ABC/ESPN???? U should have each other's back, not trashtalk Erin."

Even Evan Lysacek went to Twitter to blow off steam:: "So disappointed that anyone would attack [her] after all she's been through."

Andrews told Access Hollywood she "cried" after hearing the remarks. "I think people can have opinions about the show, but my biggest complaint is she's a woman and a mother and it was a mockery of something I've lived through this last year. ... I felt like it was a slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators."

And she said her 5-year-old daughter Grace gave her the best advice. “She said to me, ‘Mommy, why don’t you just call Erin and tell her you’re sorry?’ ” Hasselbeck said. “So, thankfully, I listened to her — she’s a wise little girl — and I did. So, I’m really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice.”

I won't watch The View, what few times I did, it is so catty and snarky and Elizabeth is always putting down someone's appearance or what they wear, acting so sanctimonious and self righteous. JMO, but I dislike her, Joy Behar, and Whoopie.

EH is a hypocrite! It is so disgusting when she reads a bible scripture about how words can be hurtful, is teaching her daughter to use words "MINDFULLY" but says awful things about people she has NO clue about. Hypocrite!

She was reading from notes, I am sorry if she is relating a story from her heart about her daughters conversation with her, she would not need to remember what to say. she is so fake. Kick her to the curb.

EH made her apologies...yet, is it NOT TRUE that Erin is still being stalked by someone who is being tracked by the FBI? I can not imagine the pressures she is under! The whole DWTS stars' cast is aware of this.

I stopped watching the View because of her comments. She always wants to throw in her religion to try and cover her butt. I can't believe she was so dumb to say such a thing. It's like saying a rape victim deserved it blah blah blah.

For once I agree with your post chels! Her comment was extremely insensitive and hurtful, Erin did not deserve what happened to her, no one does, comments like hers re-victimize the already frightened victim.

At least this girl made an apology. Those other hags say horrible things about everyone and never apologize.
