Will Elisabeth Hasselbeck be found guilty of plagiarism?
Background: BOSTON — "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been accused of plagiarism.
A lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts alleges that Hasselbeck lifted "word for word" content from a book on celiac disease written by a self-published author on Cape Cod.
Hasselbeck's book, "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide" has appeared over the last month in several best-selling lists.
The lawsuit was filed by author Susan Hassett, who says she sent Hasselbeck a copy of her "Living With Celiac Disease" book as a courtesy after the TV celebrity disclosed she had the illness last year.
A lawyer for Hassett declined to comment Tuesday. A phone message left with Hasselbeck's agent, Andy Cohen, was not immediately returned.
If Hasselbeck settles out of court it will qualify as a YES. Details of the settlement terms are not important. ONLY a court of law finding her Not Guilty or dismissing the case due to lack of evidence will qualify a No settlement.
Settlement date is not fixed.
