Sarah Jessica Parker makes shocking Sex and The City revelation amid Kim Cattrall feud
Sarah Jessica Parker has made a shock Sex And The City revelation amid her years-long feud with former co-star Kim Cattrall. The Carrie Bradshaw icon, who has played the writer since 1998 in SATC, two movies and its reboot And Just Like That... admitted she has 'never seen' most of her career-making shows as she doesn't like watching anything she's in. The Emmy winner told E! News of AJLT: 'Oh my God, no. I don't watch it, never seen it' before adding 'Never seen Sex and the City, most of them.' Parker, who shares son James Wilkie, 22 and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, 13, with husband Matthew Broderick, 63, also commented on whether her brood have watched her series yet. She said: 'I think it's very odd for them to yet let it into their viewing queue. Even for James Wilkie, he started by coming to the premiere of And Just Like That, then he started watching the show but school work got in the way. But it's all available for them some day if they want it, they'll get no pressure from me. 'Mostly I want them to recall me as their parent. But maybe one day they'll find a way to watch it and be comfortable with what they see. I mean there's nothing I do that I think is terribly shocking, but it's a very different way of seeing a parent.' The third season of And Just Like That... is set for release on May 29 - with Samantha Jones star Cattrall, 68, not reprising her role after a shock cameo last season. After a decade of bad blood with her castmates, Cattrall shocked fans of Sex and the City and And Just Like That... when it was reported she filmed a secret cameo in mid-March, which she did without interacting with any cast member. And Just Like That... was first announced in January 2021, with Cattrall's absence raising eyebrows among fans immediately, with Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) reprising their iconic roles. It was explained in the series premiere that Samantha had moved to London, with the Season 1 premiere finding Carrie reaching out to Samantha via text, making plans to meet in person and reconcile. While it's unclear if Cattrall and Parker will ever share the same physical space on set again, Samantha's return came in the form of a phone call to Carrie in the season two finale. Cattrall had previously refused to ever reprise her fan-favorite role as the man-hungry publicist - having last played the character in much derided 2010 film, Sex and the City 2. Even SJP has claimed she does not want Kim back - when asked by Variety in a 2022 interview if she would be 'OK' if Cattrall was able to come back to the show if some 'miracle were to happen,' after their very public feud exploded back in 2018. Parker responded: 'I don't think I would, because I think there's just too much public history of feelings on her part that she's shared.' Adding: 'I haven't participated in or read articles, although people are inclined to let me know.' 'We didn't go to Kim for this, you know,' Parker said. 'After we didn't do the movie and the studio couldn't meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her.' exclusively revealed in September 2017 that a third Sex and the City movie was essentially 'torpedoed' due to Cattrall's excessive demands. Cattrall reportedly demanded that Warner Bros. step up and produce other movies she was developing, or she wouldn't star in Sex and the City 3. Parker, Nixon and Davis were all set to reprise their roles, with production slated to happen that fall, though the project completely fell apart and never went into production. Cattrall denied the story, tweeting, 'The only DEMAND I ever made was that I didn't want to do a 3rd film….& that was back in 2016.' Tensions had reportedly brewed between Cattrall and the rest of the cast since the start of the show, which escalated when one of her only allies - creator Darren Star - left the show and was replaced by Michael Patrick King, who created And Just Like That. The feud escalated in 2018 when Cattrall blasted Parker for talking about Kim's brother Christopher, who was found dead in Canada, in a TV interview. 'Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your "nice girl" persona,' Cattrall said in the post Kim says she read the script for the third film and was disappointed to see how Samantha's story would play out. Apparently, Samantha was to be sent unwanted 'd*ck pics' from Mirandas' 14-year-old son. Kim would have rather liked to have seen Samantha being forced to sell her PR company to 'some guy who's wearing a hoodie' as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. Ultimately, Kim decided not to take part in the third film after seeing her character's lack of progression. She shaded the new series, claiming it was essentially the same as the script for the third film, which also saw Mr. Big die. 'The series is basically the third movie. That's how creative it was,' she said. Kim also addressed her relationship with her co-stars, whom she was allegedly at-odds with during their time filming the show. Kim said they had a professional relationship yet never considered them friends.
