Nicollette Sheridan says she felt compelled to bring a lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, following an incident last year in which the actress says her boss struck her across the face. Now, Sheridan’s former co-workers feel equally compelled to stand up for Cherry. The main Desperate Housewives cast members – Eva Longoria Parker, Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman – have issued a joint statement that pledges full support for Cherry. It reads: “It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing. We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicollette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterize our set as a hostile environment. “It is, in fact, the opposite. The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day.” Because Teri Hatcher was singled out in the lawsuit – Sheridan alleges Cherry said he hopes Hatcher “gets hit by a car and dies” – that actress says she never authorized Sheridan’s attorneys to use her name and: “While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I’m honored to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia, as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs.” Man, no Desperate Housewives spoilers or storylines can compare to the drama taking place away from the set of this hit show. Whose side are you on in the battle between Sheridan and Cherry?
