The View’s Barbara Walters is standing up for co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck in the wake of anonymous allegations involving her infant daughter.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the ABC daytime show, Walters read a statement from Elisabeth and her husband, pro football player Tim Hasselbeck.

A somber Elisabeth was seated beside Walters.

Walters said the Hasselbecks have been stalked and harassed by someone making false and malicious allegations involving the couple’s one-year-old child, Grace Elisabeth. The matter has been turned over to the district attorney, according to Walters.

In addition to contacting the Hasselbecks, sources claim an unknown person has contacted the New York City Administration for Children’s Services and at least one newspaper reporter.

“These allegations have been fully reviewed by child protective authorities and medical professionals and found to be absolutely false,” Walters said, reading from Hasselbeck’s statement.

The caller, a woman with a Southern twang, has made the allegations to New York City Administration for Children’s Services, as well as to the Daily News. She refused to identify herself to either party, the newspaper said, but claims to be a “friend of the family.”

There is speculation that the stalker does not like Elisabeth's conservative political stance and is getting back at her this way. Pretty scary and creepy if you ask me, considering the stalker is targeting their baby.
