User blog:UFO Editor/Sherdian VS Cherry: The Housewives Defend Show Creator

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - Sorry Edie, but it looks like the women of “Desperate Housewives” have banded together against you. Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, and Felicity Huffman are speaking up to defend the ABC show’s creator Marc Cherry from Nicollette Sheridan’s lawsuit.

Sheridan filed a suit against the alphabet network and Cherry last week, alleging Cherry of creating a hostile environment in the set of the show and of physically hitting her at one time.

Longoria previously spoke up about the alleged incident, saying that while she didn’t witness it, she doesn’t believe Cherry made the set a hell for everyone.

The women said in a statement obtained by ETonline.com, “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.”

Reps for Hatcher, who was specifically mentioned in the suit, claims Sheridan’s use of her name in the documents was unauthorized.

The actress said, “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.”

Sounds like the girls all want to keep their jobs!!
