Technically correct that the pitot may give errors in sideslip, but in my experience misreading ASIs in sideslip are almost always down to static.

Easy way to check, keeping pitch attitude the same, sideslip both ways - if you get the same ASI reading each way (but different to the same pitch attitude without sideslip) any errors are probably pitot, if it's different, it's probably asymmetric static.
