Nicollette Sheridan is dropping the most explosive claims from her lawsuit against her former Desperate Housewives employers and as a result she will not have to submit to a psychiatric evaluation, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

DOCUMENTS: Nicollette Sheridan Stipulation

In April, Sheridan sued the show’s creator Marc Cherry, Touchstone Television Productions, ABC Studios, and ABC entertainment for $20 million in relation to her firing. She alleged assault and battery, emotional distress, gender violence and wrongful termination- all claims ABC said were “without merit.”

Sources connected to the Lethal Weapon star have revealed Oksana's former attorneys - the same advisors who could be questioned by Sheriff's investigators in the extortion investigation - produced this photo during marathon two-day talks to settle their legal battle, which included a settlement of up to $20 million.

"Oksana's lawyers showed the photo and stated it revealed a mark on Lucia's face following the incident at Mel's Malibu home on January 6," a source close to the case told RadarOnline.com.

However, lawyers for the Oscar winning actor insisted the photo did not show a mark, cut or injury to Lucia.

"Mel's camp believes this could be crucial to the Sheriff's extortion investigation as the photo wasn't presented until the second day of mediation, after the actor's settlement offer had already been made to Oksana."

The Russian musician, 40, insists she walked away from the agreement, which she signed in draft form, because it granted Mel more custody of their child than she had wanted.
