The View Apologizes for "Hooker" Comment

The women on The View aren’t known for keeping their mouths shut. Part of their job as hosts of the show is to tell their opinion on current news stories in a segment called “Hot Topics.”

On yesterday’s show, the women were chatting about Tiger Woods’ mistress Rachel Uchitel, and Joy Behar called her a “hooker.” The View issued a statement today saying Joy’s comment was just a joke. What Joy said was, "Yeah, you-ka-tell she's a hooker."

That royally pissed off Uchitel’s lawyer Gloria Allred, who then demanded a real apology from the women or face a lawsuit.

They have since released a statement saying, "Joy Behar made a play on Ms. Uchitel's name. This was intended as a joke. We sincerely apologize for the choice of words and for any misimpression the joke may have created."

Allred also asked for an on-air retraction but hasn’t gotten one. We think it’s hilarious! Gloria needs to loosen up a bit and realize the type of women she’s representing!
