So last week Nicollette Sheridan filed a lawsuit against her former boss alleging that the show creator hit her and fired her for complaining about his. Well today his remaining Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman released a joint statement defending him according to
People.
“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.”
Teri Hatcher added:
“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.”
It would be interesting to hear what they would’ve said if this was the last season of the show. Just saying.
