Teri Hatcher : She has denied claims she’s leaving Desperate Housewives.

Teri Hatcher has denied claims she’s leaving Desperate Housewives.

Reports at the weekend claimed the 45-year-old actress – who has played ditsy mother Susan Mayer for seven years — has told colleagues at ABC that the next season will be her last.

“Teri has given in her notice and is making active preparations to move on,” said one insider.

“She has another production deal in the pipeline and she is in the early stages of developing a sitcom that she wants to start work on immediately after she finishes Desperate Housewives — she wants a new show in time for the mid-January pilot season.”

But a rep for ABC has spoken out to set the record straight, insisting there’s “no truth to this rumor.”

There are not enough adjectives to describe how stupid, off base, and ridiculously untrue this is,” Hatcher added on her Facebook page. “‘Newspapers should be accountable for this kind of irresponsible journalism and reckless fabrication of a story.”
