A US judge has ruled in favor of former Desperate Housewives Nicollette Sheridan pursuing a case against creator Marc Cherry.
Sheridan launched a $20 million lawsuit alleging assault and battery, gender violence, wrongful termination and discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and age.
She also claims in September 2008 Cherry struck her across the face while on set and when she complained about the incident, he sacked her.
She also claims Cherry created a hostile work environment, “behaving in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner.”
Cherry’s attorney wanted Sheridan’s lawyers to clarify the discrimination portion of her complaint but a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge denied the motion, allowing the lawsuit to go ahead.
Sheridan’s former castmates have stood by their boss during the ongoing saga.

You go nicolette, loved her in knots landing and stopped watching Desperate when her character was killed off, they should have bumped Susan instead!
Is the judge female? if it is then this will be a landslide victory to Sheridan.
Re: Craig, oh good grief haha
I tend to believe she’s got this one. There’s something to her firing because I’ve always been told she’s quite lovely.
To be honest I wish her luck, because we know she’ll never see another paycheck like the one she got on DH.
Good on her, just hope it doesn’t look to desperate 😆
