Nicollette Sheridan sues Desperate Housewives and ABC-Alleges assault and retaliation

[SuziQ]

A former cast member of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” is suing the show’s creator and producer, Marc Cherry, alleging that he physically assaulted her, then killed off her character from the series in retaliation after she reported the assault to the network.
Nicollette Sheridan, who played Edie Britt until her character was written off the series in early 2009, alleged in the suit filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court that Cherry was dismissive and demeaning to her during the filming of the show.
