The women of "The View" have caved to the mighty Gloria Allred -- because one day after Allred threatened to sue 'em for calling Rachel Uchitel a "hooker," The View has issued an apology.
A rep for the show tells TMZ: "Joy Behar made a play on Ms. Uchitel's name. This was intended as a joke. We sincerely apologize for the choice of words and for any misimpression the joke may have created."
The play on words: Joy saying "Yeah, you-ka-tell she's a hooker."

The View might prefer to pretend she isn't a hooker to avoid legal action. Rachel dresses like a hooker, behaves like a hooker, received money like a hooker...can't see her being perceived as anything other than a hooker. If the little darling is worried about her reputation, perhaps she should stop parading around for the cameras wearing as little as possible. Trash.

What does Ms Rachel do to pay her $4K a month rent in NYC?
Party Planners are making as much as she does? Perhaps the IRS should be looking into her finances...
Perhaps 'they-can-tell what she does for a living...since u-Ki-tel it doesn't appear to be Legitimate.

Wowâ¦
All I can say is âWOWââ¦.
MY,MY,â¦.How White America will turn on a dimeâ¦and TURNED on this young manâ¦â¦
Just like they did with O.J., and this boy didnât even KILL his Wife. Heâs Straight ânot Gay, heâs Adored(kindaâ¦)for a sport that only white men have excelled inâ¦but yet a transgression that ANY politician or Movie Star might makeâ¦he is vilified like NONE OTHERâ¦âTiger is a D-Bagââ¦âTiger should DIEâ..etc, etcâ¦â¦.and this is coming from a LOT of MEN out thereâ¦..!?!?!? MEN CHEATâ¦and it is NOT exclusive (God knows ) to BLACK MEN eitherâ¦.
Now, this new found âHATER-ATIONâ is REALLY, REALLY to be expected. ANY AFRICAN AMERICAN that rises in the ranks is a target. From the President to this âGolferââ¦..and White people get a âsurgeâ to be able to do itâ¦â¦
And donât give me the âSTOP PLAYING THE RACE CARDâ crapâ¦â¦.You all KNOW what you doâ¦..and YOU KNOW what you say , to each other when thereâs NO BLACK people in the roomâ¦.but IF we call it out; âWeâre playing the race cardâ?!?!!?!?! That is of course until FAMILY GUY, or South Park makes a JOKE of it, then itâs okay and acceptableâ¦..But YOU KNOW itâs trueâ¦.it usually just takes a Cartoon to bring it out!
Well Poor, poor little Rich Tiger is learning a Hard Life lesson that ALL Black Parents tell their children from the youngest age: âWork Harder, Be Better, and try to assimilate, BUT DO NOT LET THE WHITE MAN FOOL YOU. No Matter How hard you try, or How much they Act like they accept you, be prepared for them to Drop you like a hot potato if you get into ANY TROUBLEâ¦..â
Itâs a Lesson that O.J. had to learn, (but his transgression was far worse) and itâs a lesson that Tigerâs father obviously skipped in his Golf lessons. And the irony is: IF Tiger had maybe claimed a little of his African American Heritage, the Black community would probably be more supportive of him. âCalinasianâ my Butt! Does White America remember the âONE DROP RULEâ????? That meant for those of you that donât remember your JIM CROW History, if a person had at least âONE DROPâ of black blood in them, they were considered âBLACKââ¦.This is what kept the âhigh yellowâ blacks from assimilating into American society sooner rather than laterâ¦.back in the not-so-old daysâ¦.
Well Tiger, I guess this is your wake-up callâ¦
GOOD MORNING!
This is not particularly a condemnation of the White raceâ¦just an observation of 44 years of living amongst itâ¦in the United States. Donât be so quick to push aside your brethrenâ¦.you may find that at the end of the day, theyâre all youâve Got. And by the Wayâ¦.99.9% of Straight Men shouldnât even open their mouths to condemn this young guyâ¦.
You all CHEAT just as much, if NOT more, and if you had his Millions your wives would be as quick to call a Divorce lawyer as Governor Sanfordâs wife is right now!

Hey TMZ, take a poll and let the nation decide whether she should be called a hooker or not!
