'Desperate Housewives' set 'not a hostile work environment'

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ cast insist they do not work in a “hostile environment”.

Lead actresses Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria Parker have spoken out amid allegations made by former co-star Nicollette Sheridan – who is suing creator Marc Cherry for $20m (€22.66m) after claiming he slapped her and she was axed from the drama series after complaining – insisting they have “no first-hand knowledge” of the September 2008 incident.
