Actress Nicollete Sheridan has sued Marc Cherry, the creator of ABC’s Desperate Housewives, for $20 million dollars.

Sheridan claims that Cherry created a hostile work environment from the get go, “behaving in an extremely abusive and aggressive manner toward the individuals who work on the show.”

The sexy blonde is suing Cherry for assault and batter, gender violence, and wrongful termination.  Sheridan stated in the suit she immediately reported the incident to ABC, but they failed to take action or look into her allegations against Cherry.

Desperate Housewives made Sheridan an international superstar.  Sheridan appeared on the popular soap from 2004-2009.

Sheridan’s lawsuit isn’t the only claim of Cherry abusing his power with those involved with the show.
