NEW YORK, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the lone conservative panelist on "The View," said she isn't leaving the U.S. TV chat show, despite rumors suggesting she is.

People.com said the 31-year-old television personality's representative issued a statement in response to reports Hasselbeck is planning to leave the show because the atmosphere has been tense this election season. The rumors also claim she is taking a job at Fox News Channel.

"While Elisabeth (Hasselbeck) has a great relationship with Fox News, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that she is leaving 'The View,'" her agent, Babette Perry, said in a statement released to People.com. "Elisabeth is passionate in her beliefs and enjoys being a part of this dynamic group of women and engaging in daily conversations."

Karl Nilsson, executive publicity director for the daytime talk show, added, "Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie, executive producers of 'The View,' consider Elisabeth to be vital to the program."
