Erin Andrews
Andrews, 32, has had two separate stalking incidents this year and on "The View" Tuesday (May 4) Hasselbeck questioned Erin's fashion choices because "for the past three weeks, she's been wearing next to nothing."
"In light of what happened and as illegal and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room... I mean, in some way if I'm him, I'm like, 'Man! I just could've waited 12 weeks and seen this - a little bit less - without the prison time!'"
She was talking about the obsessed man fan who videotaped Andrews through hotel peepholes and put the footage on the Web. He was sentenced to jail time in March. In April, Andrews began to received death threats from another wacko.
Her dance partner and DWTS wardrobe stylist Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Tweeted his defense: "I'm the one designing @ErinAndrewsESPN's dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that @ehasselbeck is jealous... and stupid 4 her comments," he tweeted.
After Tuesday's (May 4) DWTS show, Erin called Elisabeth's remarks "a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators."
So on today's "View" (May 5) Elisabeth tearfully explained that she was sorry for hurting Erin's feelings. She explained that she was watching 'Dancing' with her five-year-old daughter last night.
She told her daughter, Grace, "Today Mommy hurt someone's feelings,'" and in between choking back tears, she explained how she told Grace that "reckless words pierce someone's heart like a sword." And then she read to her daughter from her inspirational book.
From what she said, it sounded like she called Erin personally, as her daughter suggested. We're waiting for confirmation on that phone call.
But Elisabeth deftly managed to use this opportunity to boost her mommy creds and cried prettily on the show as a public apology. Of course, regular "View" viewers have probably lost count of how many times Elisabeth has been reduced to tears on the show.
Andrews is the co-host of ESPN’s “College GameDay” and a contributor for ABC’s “Good Morning America.” She reportedly signed a two-year contract in 2010, which is set to expire on July 1. Her last assignment under her current deal was the ACC basketball tournament.
The speculation was ignited Monday by a Tweet from an ESPN “co-worker”, @ESPNSteve, claiming: “ESPN confirmed that the ACC Tournament is the last scheduled assignment for Erin Andrews. Her contract (and others) are coming up.” The message has since been deleted from Twitter.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys, however, says there is no truth to the tweet, according to USA Today.
“She’s still under contract and we hope to renew her,” Soltys says.
Andrews, 33, has been an ESPN sideline reporter since 2004.
She appeared on Season 10 of “Dancing with the Stars,” where she and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy finished third (fired “X Factor” judge Nicole Scherzinger won that season).

ESPN's fan favorite has signed a new multi-year reporting deal with the sports cable channel.
The blond beauty - whose previous contract with ESPN expired July 1 - will join the network's new College GameDay lineup as a part-time host and feature reporter and will continue as a sideline reporter.
As part of the deal, Andrews also will make regular appearances on "Good Morning America" as both ESPN and ABC are owned by Disney.
ESPN was so quick to point the finger at everyone else..Suck on that Bristol and start doing background checks on your perv employees before you start blaming everyone and their mother.
