Hot topic: The View's Joy Behar is sorry for calling alleged Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel a hooker.
On Thursday's show, Behar and her cohosts were discussing the Woods sex scandal when Behar joked, "Uchitel, she's a hooker.

Uchitel wasn't amused.
She was "very upset" by the "false and defamatory" remark, her attorney Gloria Allred said in a statement Thursday. "Even if the host said it in a joking way Rachel is not amused, because she values her reputation and her reputation has been damaged by this statement as it is completely false."
See Tiger Woods and his wife in happier times
A View rep insists the comment was said in jest.
"Joy Behar made a play on Ms. Uchitel's name," reads a statement. "This was intended as a joke. We sincerely apologize for the choice of words and for any misimpression the joke may have created."
Tell Us What You Think
41Since now more than ever people that dont golf are paying attention to Tiger, pls. listen up. The only tragic thing that has happened is the fact that manslut Tiger has quit golfing. Anyone that golfs knows that it is one of the most "mental" games there is. With all Tigers secrets out on the table his ability to strike the ball should increase ten fold. Every man would have done what he did. A man is only as faithful as his options. Maybe his wife should take a look in the mirror, she is obviously a dead lay. Go get em Tiger!!
"Even if the host said it in a joking way Rachel is not amused, because she values her repu-tation and her repu-tation has been damaged by this statement as it is completely false." ------> I understand making mistakes and being forgiven. But, when you sleep knowingly with a married man/woman (especially a celebrity or well known), you really didn't care too much about your R E P U - T A T I O N. Again, I do hope these females learn from this.
December 13, 2009 - 1:21am stevchipmunk Says: It is amazing to see that it is Women who put down all the women Tiger Woods screwed. Tiger Woods not only cheated his wife, but he used his celebrity status to induce and cheat other impressionable women to sleep with him--giving each the false impression that he was genuinely interested in her and only her. And evidently he wasn't generous with these women; the cheap dirt bag evidently didn't even tip the waiters/waitresses when he went out to dinner (which evidently was often comped). Tiger Woods was a cheap dirt bag looking for all the free nookie he could induce to sleep with him ********************* Do not agree w/ Tiger's behavior, but come on. They went after him because of his celebrity. Stop making them the victims. Everyone in the world (unless they live under a rock) knew he was married. Boo hoo! Cry me a f-ing river. She was called a prostitute. You are going to be called names when you sleep with a well known married man. I hope they learned some sort of lesson. Go, JOY!!!!!!
If Joy Behar is a comedian she needs to go back to funny school because I just find her to be a jackass. Oh, and did Barbara Walters have an affair with a married man also? What a hooker!
I agree with Joy. YOU go girl!!
Joy B. is a joke! I can't stand her on the view...she can dish it but sure as sh*t can't take it!
11:00pm Men Suck - LOL thanks for giving me a laugh.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...then it must be a hooker.

Hee. I love overly-sensetive PR reps. They crack me up. Is there ANYONE who's "offended" that the publicity-seeking adultress is refered to as a "hooker"? Honestly, I don't even think ambulance chasing Allred is really that bothered by it.
Joy is entitiled to her opionion and even if she apologizes "who cares" ;). We all have the same opinion of her so she'd better get used to it. When you do a married man you are trash and no lawyer can change that.
A HOOKER SHE IS. SHE TRADED SEX SECRETS WITH TIGER FOR CASH, WHICH MAKES HER A HOOKER. SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT DOESN'T BELIEVE IT. STUPID UGLY HOME WRECKING PROSTITUTE.
They all look like hookers. What was he thinking?
Okay, so I googled "hooker." Her picture came up first! I trust Google. She is a hooker. Joy, we all know this cow is a hooker. Kudos to you. You can tell she's a hooker.
Apologies for calling her a hooker. Correction: Sneaky, Sloppy Seconds Stank.
This statement came from the show, NOT Joy Behar. Joy would ever apologize for saying what she feels and that's why she's the coolest senior citizen in America. Go Joy! We all know she's a hooker!
You notice that Joy did not apolgize...ABC did. Joy would NEVER say she was sorry because she meant what she said. Besides, she is too busy bashing Sara Palin because she is so jealous of her......she couldn't find the time to say I am sorry. God, why do people still watch that stupid show.
Gloria Allred insinuates herself on celebrity scandals. Joy Behar did nothing wrong. Message to Allred: The only person who made your client look like a wh0re - is your client. Speaking of wh0re's... Gloria Allred is the biggest media wh0re on the planet!
Joy has absolutely NOTHING to apologize for;Uchitel is trash;"false and defamatory"?; LMAO
that "hooker" should have her a$$ beaten with a golf club.
