Is this the worst episode of And Just Like That ever? Bitter fans slam Carrie's 'awful' love story and cringeworthy scenes
After two buzzworthy episodes of Season 3 of Max's And Just Like That... fans have turned on the show already after the lackluster third episode.
The new season got started with a bang, with Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) taking a nun's virginity, which had fans talking.
The second episode that introduced a hot gardener named Adam (Logan Marshall Green) that had fans abuzz as well.
The third episode - entitled Carrie Golightly - found Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) heading to Virginia for a literary convention, as she decided to surprise Aidan (John Corbett) for a casual lunch.
Seema (Sarita Choudhury) decided to tag along after getting blindsided by her boss, who decided to sell the company to Million Dollar Listing star Ryan Serhant, playing himself.
The episode failed to provide any sort of buzzworthy moment like its first two Season 3 predecessors, which had fans blasting the show as 'awful' and this episode's cringeworthy scenes.
The episode begins with Carrie taking a video call from Amanda (Ashlie Atkinson), who informs her of speaking offers for Google and SXSW, but she's intrigued by a memoirist panel in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Given it's proximity to her beloved Aiden, she decides to go to Virginia, and Seema decides to tag along at the last minute to mull over her future after her boss sold the company she was supposed to take over out from under her to Serhant.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) finds herself needing to stay out later to sell her art, so she hits the clubs to show she can hang.
Her husband Harry (Evan Handler) wants to prove that he can still be fun too so he joins her, after shopping for some new threads with Carrie.
Unfortunately for Harry, the button-fly jeans he got proved to be too complicated, resulting in him peeing his pants at the club.
After explaining what happened, Charlotte went to the after-party without him, where the rich Dutch man she was trying to sell paintings to tried to kiss her.
Miranda had a date with a producer she likes, Carrie is told her drivers license has been expired for years, leading to Seema driving and ruining the rental car.
While Carrie was stewing over Aidan not asking her to stay, he finally does... only to relegate her to the guest house, to not make things awkward for his kids.
The episode ends with Carrie sitting on the bed of her room in the guest house, plucking away at her new book, which didn't sit well with many fans.

Axed Love Island USA star hits back at online death threats after racist slurs saw her booted from show
Axed Love Island USA star Yulissa Escobar has fired back at online trolls and cancel culture after she was booted from the villa over using racist slurs. Escobar was swiftly removed from the show line-up after clips of her dropping the N-word on a 2021 podcast resurfaced last week, revealed she has been getting death threats. The Miami-based real-estate professional apologized for the comments in a lengthy essay on June 5, and on Friday, show posted another one advocating being held 'Accountable, not Erased.' 'People swear cancel culture is about accountability… But now it's just viral hate,' she wrote. Escobar said she had receiving chilling messages 'saying I should kill myself.' 'That video doesn't define me,' she asserted adding, '.This isn't ' woke.' It's abuse.' 'My name is Yulissa Escobar. And this is NOT where my story ends,' she wrote. 'One mistake does not define a human. And that moment? Was four years ago. I've clearly grown and I'm just getting started.' She then invited fans to contact her in her DMs, 'If you're hurting… if you're scared… if you feel like no one gets it come talk to me.' Some fans showed her support after the post. 'I felt every word of this. I can definitely relate! The way online hate can consume and distort reality is terrifying. Thank you for speaking out with so much honesty and courage,' wrote one follower. 'Love you yuli ❤️,' wrote another, adding, 'no one deserves this kind of hate, those who know you love you PERIOD.' Others weren't buying what she was selling. 'But why were you saying the n word in 2021,' asked one commenter, seemingly trying to hold her accountable, adding, 'you're grown enough.' In the essay, Escobar revealed she has received death threats. 'This is not where my story ends, One mistake does not define a human,' she wrote 'Ah the playbook move to become the victim after owning it people truly cannot resist this move hilarious and so predicable,' said a detractor. In a separate post on Friday, Escobar shared a series of unapologetically sexy snaps of her wearing a tiny blue bikini at a car wash. 'And in case you forgot the written on the suitcase. I still had a timeee!' she wrote using the hashtags #loveislandusa and #shecamebackbetter.

What MTV VJ Ananda Lewis wrote in her final text to her best friend before her death at age 52 from breast cancer
Ananda Lewis' final text to her best friend has been revealed - one day after the former MTV VJ died at age 52 from breast cancer after a seven-year battle. Her best friend Stephanie Elam, a CNN correspondent, read part of the last text she received from Ananda. 'This is part of the text she sent me: "You know my feelings on this. We all go. The bodies are on loan and must be returned. We come in love and choose to leave it with love as well,"' she said on CNN while speaking to anchor Sara Sidner. Stephanie, who was emotional, continued: 'And then she goes on to say, "I love you my wonderful lifelong bestie of besties."' Stephanie spoke about Ananda's decision to try more holistic treatments for her breast cancer instead of a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. In October 2024, Ananda appeared on CNN with Sara to talk about her choice in forgoing the double mastectomy and chemotherapy. On Thursday, Stephanie said on her decision: 'She was at peace with this decision, she was calm about it.' Adding: 'She wanted to go after breast cancer the way she did it, and, I love my girl but she was hard-headed.' Ananda has died at the age of 52 after losing her nearly seven-year battle with breast cancer. The former MTV VJ passed away on Wednesday, June 11, as announced by her sister Lakshmi Emory via a Facebook post. She shared a black and white portrait of Ananda with the caption: 'She's free, and in His heavenly arms. Lord, rest her soul [prayer emoji]' Ananda's untimely death fell on the same day as her 14-year-old son Langston's middle school graduation, Lakshmi revealed to TMZ. She shares the teen boy, her only child, with husband Harry Smith, 54, who is the younger brother of Oscar-winning actor Will Smith, 56. The media trailblazer announced she was battling stage III breast cancer in 2020. In October 2024, she revealed that her cancer had advanced to stage IV after deciding not to undergo a double mastectomy when she was first diagnosed. Stephanie, who was emotional, continued: 'And then she goes on to say, "I love you my wonderful lifelong bestie of besties"'; Sara and Stephanie pictured As a fixture on MTV in the late 1990s, Ananda hosted hit shows like Total Request Live, Hot Zone and Spring Break. Lewis nabbed her very own daytime TV talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, in 2001, which ran for one season. She earned two NAACP Image Awards during her career and was once deemed the 'the hip-hop generation's reigning It Girl' by The New York Times. Lakshmi told TMZ that her sister died at her home in Los Angeles at 11:35am on Wednesday, June 11. She was in hospice care at the time of her death. Lakshmi said that a memorial would be held 'in a few weeks' and that celebrities who Ananda previously interview have already expressed interest in paying tribute to her at the upcoming service. In October 2020, Ananda shocked fans when she announced on social media that she'd been privately battling stage III breast cancer. 'I have been fighting to get cancer out of my body for almost two years,' she shared in the six-minute video posted to Instagram. She also admitted that she'd avoided getting regular mammograms due to fear of radiation exposure. 'I have refused mammograms... that was a mistake. I watched my mom get mammogrammed for 30 years almost and at the end of that she had breast cancer,' she explained. Four years after her announcement, Ananda confirmed that her breast cancer had metastasized and advanced to stage IV She spoke about deciding not to undergo a double mastectomy in an October 2024 interview with CNN. Lewis explained that she had originally planned to 'keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way.' Lewis first garnered TV fame as a host of BET's youth talk-show Teen Summit in Washington D.C., where she famously interviewed then-First Lady Hillary Clinton But when her tumor eventually metastasized, Ananda realized that she probably 'should have' gone through with the life-saving surgery. 'My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,' Lewis explained to CNN's Stephanie Elam. 'I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,' she continued, before adding: 'Looking back on that, I go, 'You know what? Maybe I should have.'' Instead, Lewis pursued homeopathic remedies as well as medication and radiation, and although her situation improved for a while, she discovered last year that her cancer had spread. 'My lymph system really flared up. It was the first time I ever had a conversation with death because I felt like: This is how it is,' she said candidly. 'I was just like, "Fudge man, I really thought I had this." I was frustrated, I was a little angry at myself, and I said, "Man, listen. I know you're coming for me at some point. But I don't want it to be now. And if you could just wait, I promise when you do come, I'm gonna make it fun for you."' 'I literally had that conversation laying in my bed. I couldn't get out of bed for, like, eight weeks,' Lewis added. Referring to her decision to not have surgery, Lewis said: 'My quality of life was very important to me, like there's a certain things I know I'm not gonna be okay with and I know myself. I want to want to be here, so I had to do it a certain way, for me.' Days after her CNN interview, Lewis clarified her comments about refusing a double mastectomy. In reply to a fan on Instagram, she explained that she did 'say no to the original conventional plan that was laid out before me at first' and 'chose the integrative approach early on.' However, she claimed that the 'treatments I was getting closed down and the monitoring of the tumor stopped' due to the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. 'Later, I felt the tumor growing and knew I had to re-consider my options with this new barrier of lockdowns. That's when I inquired again (after having said no which I stand behind as my choice in that moment) about surgery and was told it wasn't even something I could consider unless it was emergency surgery because that's all hospitals were doing at that time,' Lewis claimed. 'There are a TON of moving parts on most people's cancer journey and mine is no exception. I don't know that I would've opted for the surgery, I just knew I needed to adapt and take another look at all my options if I wanted to live.' Lewis said that she chose to be transparent about her cancer journey so that 'other women may learn from it, good or bad.' Lewis was born in Los Angeles in March 21, 1973 but her parents' divorce when she was just two-years-old led to her being raised by her mother and grandmother in San Diego, California along with her sister Lakshmi. She attended an arts high school before studying at historic Howard University in Washington, DC. She graduated from in 1995. Lewis first garnered TV fame as a host of BET's youth talk-show Teen Summit in Washington D.C., where she famously interviewed then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. In a 1999 interview with Teen People, Lewis said that her interview with Clinton was what 'got me noticed at MTV and in August of 1997, I moved to New York and started working there.' Ananda quickly became a fan-favorite fixture on MTV and interviewed many of the major stars of the late 90s and early 2000s, including Britney Spears and Beyonce. In 2001, the star took a major career leap as she left MTV to become the host of her very own daytime talk show. The Ananda Lewis Show premiered in 2001 but was short-lived as it went off the air after one season. However, Ananda voiced regrets about the career move during a 2020 interview. 'I wish I had stopped the people that wanted me to do the show and said, "Not yet, it's a little too early to do this,"' she told 'It was overkill for me. It wasn't what I felt like I signed up for.' She served as a correspondent for The Insider from 2004 to 2005.
