Glares and harsh words were exchanged on “The View” again this week, as Hasselbeck and Behar argued about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but Elisabeth says she can take the heat from her co-stars, even including Walters. A representative for Hasselbeck, said the co-host of the daytime talk show is staying on The View, not leaving for Fox News, as rumors have stated. “While Elisabeth has a great relationship with Fox News, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that she is leaving ‘The View,’” a rep for Hasselbeck said in a statement. “Elisabeth is passionate in her beliefs and enjoys being a part of this dynamic group of women and engaging in daily conversations,” her rep continued on saying. It also appears that the feeling is mutual with Hasselbeck’s bosses, Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie the executive producers of the View. They said Elisabeth is considered to be vital to the daily program.
