What Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall Have Said About Their Feud

by

If you’ve been curious about the ongoing feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, here’s some insight. Recently, it was announced that the Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That… – featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis – will conclude after three seasons. Interestingly, Cattrall posted a cryptic message on Instagram August 1st that read, “It’s the end of a very long week.” This could suggest that she may have some thoughts about the show’s ending.

The post sparked surprise due to Kim Cattrall, whose character Samantha Jones didn’t appear much in the revival except for occasional text messages or phone calls, having a long-standing dispute with her co-star.

In a 2022 episode of “The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast,” Sarah Jessica Parker said, “Discussing this complex situation with Kim has been challenging because I’ve always been careful to never say anything that might be unpleasant.

In summary, the situation took a turn back in 2017 when it became clear that plans for a third Sex and the City movie were abandoned due to Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) and Kim Cattrall not seeing eye to eye. This disagreement was reportedly over various reasons, with SJP stating that Cattrall had made certain demands and the studio found them uncomfortable, while Cattrall claimed she had been declining the project since 2016. In response to negative media coverage, Cattrall stated in an interview with the Daily Mail that she felt unfairly portrayed as demanding or a diva, and criticized SJP for being less than kind. Following the death of her brother Christopher in 2018, Cattrall publicly expressed her displeasure towards SJP by stating on Instagram that they were not friends.

Over time, there were numerous public discussions about her feelings towards the show, according to Parker in an interview on Awards Chatter. Although she didn’t dismiss Cattrall’s experiences, she also emphasized that they didn’t share the same sentiments.

Parker further explained how she had consistently strived to be considerate and look after everyone on set throughout her years of hard work. She added that nobody else has ever spoken about her in such a way, making it particularly painful for her because Cattrall played a significant role in the show’s success.

As fans bid farewell to And Just Like That, here’s a retrospective on the friendship between Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda from Sex and the City.

Episode: “The Agony and the Ex-tacy”

On what should have been a joyous occasion for my 35th birthday, an unfortunate twist unfolded as none of my friends appeared for our planned dinner. Left alone at the table, I carried the birthday cake back home with me, feeling a sense of solitude. However, after some persuasion from my friends, we ended up gathering at a coffee shop instead to celebrate. Despite the change in venue, I found myself grappling with the reality that this year’s birthday was marked by the absence of a cherished partner to share in the festivities.

Later on, Charlotte tenderly proposes, “perhaps we might find our souls intertwined, allowing us to cherish men as delightful companions for camaraderie instead.” (We may or may not be shedding a tear or two right now.)

Episode: “The Baby Shower”

At a baby shower, the girls are present, but tempers flare when Charlotte discovers that her friend has taken the name she intended for her future baby, Shayla. Upon entering the room and hearing the commotion, Samantha swiftly supports Charlotte and labels the woman as “uncouth.

Everyone needs a friend like Samantha in their corner! 

Episode: “An American Girl in Paris: Part Une”

Following Carrie’s relocation to Paris, Big makes a call expressing his inability to let her go again, which Charlotte picks up. The scene transitions to Big convening with the three friends at a café, where he queries if they think he has any remaining chances. He confides in them that these women are the loves of his life and it’s mere fortune when a man places fourth.

Though Big might not have been their top choice throughout the years, he declares his affection for her. He further mentions that if there’s a possibility, he will pursue Carrie, and if not, he’ll keep his distance. Following a quick exchange of glances among the group, Miranda encourages him, saying, “Go win our girl.” It’s always an emotional scene.

Episode: “Ring a Ding Ding”

When Carrie discovers she’s in debt, Charlotte generously offers to sell her engagement ring from Trey to help out. It seems that the bond of their friendship means more to Charlotte than even diamonds, often thought of as a woman’s closest ally.

Episode: “Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women”

When Carrie learns that Big is engaged to Natasha, she gets so upset that she vomits on the beach. Miranda quickly rushes over to support her, keeping Carrie’s hair out of her face. There’s nothing quite like a true friend stepping up in a crisis like this.

Episode: “Splat!”

When Carrie chooses to leave her column behind and relocate to Paris with Aleksandr Petrovsky, Miranda doesn’t shy away from expressing her concern that Carrie might be making a grave error. She contends that Carrie is essentially abandoning her own life to live Aleksandr’s. Although this wasn’t the kind of feedback Carrie wanted, it was what she required to hear, and that’s often part of being a true friend.

Episode: “Luck Be an Old Lady”

The girls make their way to Atlantic City for Charlotte’s 36th birthday celebration, but when Carre proposes they snap a photo at the poker table, chaos ensues. An agitated gambler shouts, “Hey, lady with the full figure, get out of here!” This prompts the girls to swiftly defend Miranda and retaliate. In the end, they even receive a round of applause from spectators!

Episode: “Unoriginal Sin”

As I navigated my way through the aftermath of my divorce from Trey, I decided to help boost my friend Carrie’s spirits by enrolling us both in a positivity course. However, when the course host suggested that perhaps I wasn’t putting enough effort into finding love, I found myself standing up to challenge this assertion. Not one to let such comments slide, Carrie swiftly took the microphone and defended me fiercely.

Episode: “My Motherboard, My Self”

Upon an unforeseen death of Miranda’s mom, they journey to Philadelphia for the funeral. During the church exit following the service, Carrie steps into place, walking alongside Miranda to console her as they make their way down the aisle.

Episode: “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda”

Following the discovery that she couldn’t conceive, Charlotte felt deeply saddened. Encountering Miranda on her journey home, she yearned for solitude. However, ever the supportive friend, Miranda trailed slightly behind Charlotte and accompanied her all the way home to ensure her wellbeing.

In the movie “Sex and the City: The Movie”, Charlotte encounters Big following his departure from Carrie on their wedding day. As a faithful friend, she delivers some stern remarks towards him. “I’m absolutely furious with you,” she exclaims. “I’ve always been in your corner, and yet you pull off such a stunt like that to Carrie.

She asserts, “Nope, no way am I going to shed tears over you. Not at all.” Just then, her water broke. “May the very day of your birth be cursed,” she adds angrily.
