fandomania | Nicollette Sheridan vs Marc Cherry (Reply)

The wrongful dismissal case is being heard now, with a bit of mention of Neal (who is also listed as a potential witness)...

A few minutes later, when Cherry was finished talking to the other actors, Sheridan testified, she approached him again. Cherry became “agitated” and motioned for her to walk toward Edie's kitchen and said in a loud angry tone: “What is it that you want?”

Sheridan said she was taken aback but continued, “OK, I'll explain it to you again. I think we're missing …” She testified that she never completed that sentence because “Mr. Cherry stepped toward me and hit me upside the head.”

“It was shocking, humiliating, demeaning, and it was unfathomable to me that I'd just been hit by my boss.”

A couple of seconds later, Sheridan testified, she told Cherry: “You just hit me on the head and that is not OK! That is not OK!” Sheridan became red in the face and choked up while retelling that part of the incident, but composed herself quickly.

Cherry remained stoic throughout Sheridan's lengthy testimony, and only cracked a smile when the jury was shown several different takes of the scene in question.

After yelling at Cherry, Sheridan testified, she left set in a van that was waiting for her with McDonough, the show's costumer, and the driver. When she told them what happened, Sheridan said, McDonough could not believe it.

“If I had seen him hit you, I would have hit him back,” McDonough responded, according to Sheridan. The actor then walked Sheridan to her trailer and stayed with her for about 15 minutes, offering her support, she said. Another employee then notified Sheridan that Cherry was on her way to see her.
