The cast of Showtime’s ‘The Real L Word’ had some fighting words for Elisabeth Hasselbeck Thursday because of comments she made about lesbians on Tuesday.
‘The View’ co-host said on the ABC talk show that she thinks a lot of older lesbians wold have turned straight if they could only land a man.
‘All the older men are going for younger women, leaving the women with no one,’ Hasselbeck said.
The cast of Showtime’s reality show about a group of lesbians who live in Los Angeles brought up Hasselbeck’s comments during a panel session for the show.
‘Ignorant,’ said Nikki Weiss to start off the discussion.
‘I was gonna say something a little less PC,’ added Rose Garcia.
‘And hurtful,’ Weiss added.
Garcia continued: ‘You know, Elisabeth, it’s not the first time you’ve said some boneheaded comment.’
Weiss: ‘It’s amazing that she has such a big platform for such an ignorant woman.’
Then they wondered aloud if Hasselbeck would soon call them and apologize, and said they’d respond by asking her out on a date.
