ABC’s The View is supposed to be all about expressing opinions on hot topics, be it politics or pop culture. Opinions are like, well you know, everyone has one. Today The View’s Elizabeth Hasselbeck apologizes for hers.

Last year, ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was in the spotlight, but not for her dancing. A stalker filmed a naked Andrews through a hotel room peephole. Hasselbeck’s comments that sparked an uproar went something like this: the man, since convicted, would have seen “a little bit less — without the prison time” just by watching “Dancing With The Stars” this season. Most obviously referring to the skimpy costumes Andrews parades around the dance floor in each week.

She most definitely has a point…just maybe it is a point that should left unspoken.

On Wednesday’s episode, Hasselbeck said Fighting back tears, Hasselbeck explains that her 5-year-old suggested she call Erin and apologize for her remarks. She did and then publicly apologized on Wednesday’s show.
