A statement on behalf of Center Street and Hasselbeck read: "Neither Center Street nor Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been served with the Complaint in this action. However, there is no basis for the allegations in the Complaint as published in the press. Ms. Hasselbeck worked diligently and tirelessly on her book and is disappointed in this attempt to discredit her work and her ability to bring this important message to the public."

"This week a claim was filed with regard to my book THE G-FREE DIET. I assure you that the allegations are without merit, and are being handled appropriately," Hasselbeck added to Us in a separate statement.

Hasselbeck -- who is pregnant with her third child -- recently announced she suffers from Celiac Disease, which damages the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption.
