Nicollette Sheridan is dropping the most explosive claims from her lawsuit against her former Desperate Housewives employers and as a result she will not have to submit to a psychiatric evaluation, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
DOCUMENTS: Nicollette Sheridan Stipulation
In April, Sheridan sued the show’s creator Marc Cherry, Touchstone Television Productions, ABC Studios, and ABC entertainment for $20 million in relation to her firing. She alleged assault and battery, emotional distress, gender violence and wrongful termination- all claims ABC said were “without merit.”
In papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 17, Sheridan dropped claims of physical injury and emotional distress. As a result, the defense has agreed to drop its request for a psychiatric and physical examination. Both parties stipulated to this agreement and the case will continue without those causes of action after a judge signs the stipulation.
Sheridan alleged that she suffered and CONTINUES to suffer physical injury and emotional distress. The defense countered by demanding a physical and psychiatric evaluation.
