ABC Hires Special Lawyer To Handle Desperate Housewives Lawsuit!

6/17/2010 3:30 PM ET | Filed under: TV News • Nicollette Sheridan • Legal Matters

Uh-oh!

ABC must be really sweating it out over Nicollette Sheridan's lawsuit against her former Desperate Housewives boss, Mark Cherry, because they've hired an employment litigation specialist attorney named Adam Levin to take care of this mess!

And this guy is NOT fooling around! He's apparently served the actress' legal team with requests for a videotaped deposition as well as private documents.

He says:

"We have served subpoenas and are vigorously moving forward with our defense. We intend to delve into the merits of her claims, all of which we strenuously dispute."

We have a feeling this whole thing is going to get a whole lot uglier - if that's even possible - real soon!

What do U think?? Does Edie have a case or should she just settle??

Unfortunately for her it is like shooting yourself in the foot.

Who will want to hire her after this?

EDIE has a case.
I'm not even watching anymore with her gone. Its just not the same. Her being off the show made no sense when it was announced. Why would Nicolette make such a big deal if it wasn't true?

I don't know if she has a case, but her attorney might. I don't see her as someone to trifle with something like this unless something happened. To be determined.

Well,
The fact that they got rid of her in that unfairly manner tells a lot. I am with Nicolle (edie).
And her coworkers should support her or be neutral - I hope they do not side with ABC because if so, I would think a lot less of themand would not watch the show.

Absolutely she has a case! Marc Cherry did smack her and always treated her like dirt. This is a guy who claims total responsiblilty for the show even though in the beginning when he was trying to pitch it the networks no one would even take a meeting with him and "other" people had to set up meetings for him to pitch the show. Yet as far as he concerned, he owes no one anything and has the right to treat people badly. I hope they take him for everything this pig has!

Of course Nicolette has the case. I am on her side but is it worth it to fight the big guys. They will try to trash her. Mark Cherry is a total primadonna and he is able to treat her and abuse her like that. It will be a catfight.

Unfortunately i will say that the show is not the same without Edie… Huge mistake Mark Cherry… albiet, Vanessa Williams is going to be a GREAT replacement, but not perfect

Re: Swear to ME! – Maybe not. (shooting herself in the foot.) Mark Cherry certainly isn't the apple of everyone's eye.

After hearing about how Nic shacked up with Leif Garrett when she was only 15 years old, and they looked like twin brother and sister, I would find it very difficult to give her any credibility. And Leif still runs his mouth off today claiming that he only got addicted to heroin because of her and about how she mistreated him!
