MARC CHERRY IN THE CLEAR IN DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES COURT BATTLE

Nicollette Sheridan‘s wrongful termination suit took a big hit yesterday. The judge threw out her battery claim against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry.

Nicollette’s wrongful termination claim against ABC will still move forward.
