A self-published author in Cape Cod has sued Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a co-host of the ABC program “The View,” for copyright infringement, accusing her of plagiarizing substantial portions of her book, “Living With Celiac Disease.” According to a lawsuit filed Monday in United States District Court in Massachusetts, Ms. Hasselbeck, whose diet book “The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide,” was published by the Center Street imprint of the Hachette Book Group in May, copied “significant portions” of various lists from “Living With Celiac Disease” by Susan Hassett. In the complaint, Ms. Hassett says that Ms. Hasselbeck’s book “includes dozens of paraphrased as well as word for word regurgitations of phrases and scrupulously researched factual data entries” and “utilizes a virtually identical order and format of 13 chapters” of Ms. Hassett’s work. The lawsuit states that Ms. Hassett sent a copy of her book to Ms. Hasselbeck in April 2008 after “The View” host disclosed that she had celiac disease. According to the complaint, Ms. Hasselbeck never acknowledged the book or Ms. Hassett. Ms. Hassett and her lawyer, Richard Cunha, declined to comment. In a statement, a Hachette spokeswoman denied the accusations and said that no complaint had been served.
