The comments set off Twitter frenzy with her dancing co-stars. Her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy quickly fired back: ""I'm the one designing Andrews' dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that Hasselbeck is jealous... and stupid...."
Louis Van Amstel wrote: "Why did u have to throw @erinandrewsespn under the bus this morning? Shame on you ... Leave her alone. Aren't u all working for the same network ABC/ESPN???? U should have each other's back, not trashtalk Erin."

Andrews told Access Hollywood she "cried" after hearing the remarks. "I think people can have opinions about the show, but my biggest complaint is she's a woman and a mother and it was a mockery of something I've lived through this last year. ... I felt like it was a slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators."

On Wednesday Elisabeth confessed, “I ended up hurting her.”
And she said her 5-year-old daughter Grace gave her the best advice. “She said to me, ‘Mommy, why don’t you just call Erin and tell her you’re sorry?’ ” Hasselbeck said. “So, thankfully, I listened to her — she’s a wise little girl — and I did. So, I’m really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice.”
