Yesterday, we heard all about Nicollette Sheridan’s massive $20M lawsuit against ABC and “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry. Sheridan alleged that Cherry hit her in the face on set, and then killed off her character because she complained. Another way of looking at it, if you’re not Nicollette Sheridan, might be that…
Cherry’s so-called “extremely abusive and aggressive manner” is grossly exaggerated. What happened is there was a scene in which Neal McDonough, who played Nicollette’s husband for the 5th season, was supposed to slap the actress. [According to one insider], during filming on September 24, 2008, Sheridan wasn’t reacting the right way. So Cherry was on the set supervising and in that context only he struck her. “He was showing her on set how it should be played. Ninety people on the set know what happened,” one insider explains. [Deadline]
Hmmm… so there’s a chance that a disgruntled former employee might be making an exaggerated claim in order to get money from a big corporation? That sounds too outlandish to be true. Especially in Hollywood. I thought people in the entertainment industry had a reputation for being honest and forthright.

I always knew that it would be OK to punch my wife as long as I was recording it.
Teri Hatcher still gets hit by a car, right?
left to right… yes, no, maybe, yes, yes… and if the ginger broad shows up i would say yes, but it would prolly have to be a threeway with her and huffman or no dice
You mean the skinny OCD chick or Dana Delany? Because I want to do terrible, terrible things to Dana Delany. Things that are illegal. In Thailand.
On the other hand, “We were rehearsing for a show!” sounds suspicously bullshit. “I was having sex with that tranny hooker to practice for a movie role! Yeah, that’s the ticket.”
