Elizabeth Hasselbeck's comments on Erin Andrews about the Dancing with the Stars wardrobe hasn't endeared the “View” co host to many. Hasselbeck made some comments to the effect that Andrews’ stalker wouldn’t have needed to invade her privacy if he could have just waited to see her outfits. It would be an understatement to say these remarks were insensitive. It will definitely take more than installment payday loans to pay for the truckload of mouthwash needed to cure this foot in the mouth taste.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck and her Erin Andrews remarks
On Tuesday, May 4, Elizabeth Hasselbeck opined on The View that Erin Andrews’ “Dancing with the Stars” outfights were too revealing. Instead of just saying something to the effect of “her outfits are a little skimpy” and then moving on, she decided that she’s the fashion police and that it’s acceptable to joke about the Erin Andrews peephole video event and while everybody watched in horror:
“as inexcusable as it was for that guy to go in and make an effort to peep on her in her hotel room … I mean, in some way if I’m him, I’m like ‘Man! I could’ve just waited 12 weeks and seen this,’ just a little bit less, without the prison time!”
(This came from the Huffington Post). I guess sense and class can't be bought, regardless how rich you are. Ironically enough, it is forgotten to be displayed by the rich class often.
Erin Andrews doesn't seem amused
In response to Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Erin Andrews declared her remarks a “slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators” after she appeared on Dancing with the Stars.
Hasselbeck apologizes
On May 5, Hasselbeck apologized for her remarks. She even, during the apology, teared up a bit. She doesn't really be sorry but some are assuming she is only in trouble because she got caught.
Where is the line drawn?
The fallout of Elizabeth Hasselbeck's Erin Andrews remarks will run its course and will be forgotten in due time by all. In the grand scheme of things, she put her foot in her mouth and has realized it. Although nobody should feel like they can't say what they think, some things go just a little too far.
