Did Elisabeth Hasselbeck Steal Her G-Free View?
ABC/Yolanda Perez
Elisabeth Hasselbeck may not be living footloose and gluten-free for long.
The View cohost is being sued for plagiarism.
According to the Boston Globe, the self-published author of Living with Celiac Disease, Susan Hassett, filed a federal copyright-infringement lawsuit alleging parts of her tome were swiped by the former Survivor star.
Hasselbeck's The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide was released last month. Hassett claims she mailed the Hasselbeck a copy of her book, along with newspaper clippings, a note, a homemade cooking video and a business card, in April 2008—after Hasselbeck revealed she suffered from celiac disease, in which the body cannot process gluten.
There was no immediate comment from Hasselbeck's reps at The View or Hachette Book Group.
Hasselbeck is currently seven months pregnant with her third child.
