Former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan is suing the creator of the show, Marc Cherry, for assault and wrongful termination. Sheridan claims Cherry slapped her face and eventually killed off her character after the pair got into a heated argument over a script in Sept. 2008. So how are the other Housewives handling the drama? American Idol’s Ryan got Eva Longoria to dish on the fracas.

“It’s a big lawsuit, it’s a big deal, I love the show so much, that I would hate for anything to really tarnish the reputation of the show,” she said during an interview with Ryan’s “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” on Wednesday. “I really would like all of it to go away.”
Eva said she was not on set when the alleged incident occurred , but noted that it is hard for her to imagine Marc being violent.
“He’s funny and sweet… and probably could not harm a fly. He’s just so sweet. I do know they had a thing on set, I guess it was a couple of years ago,” Eva said, referring to Nicollette’s claims that her former boss struck her “across the head and face” on set.
