Sarah Jessica Parker on “Painful” Kim Cattrall Rift: “There Just Isn’t Anyone Else Who’s Ever Talked About Me This Way”

by Melissa Folmann, June 10, 2022.

Sarah Jessica Parker has spoken at length about the rift in her relationship with Kim Cattrall — one of the four principal stars of the landmark HBO comedy series Sex and the City and its two big-screen adaptations, in which she played Samantha alongside Parker’s Carrie. For the first time, Parker detailed why Cattrall was not asked to be part of And Just Like That, the SATC revival series that recently had its first season on HBO Max.

Speaking to Scott Feinberg on THR’s Awards Chatter podcast, Parker acknowledged that “it’s very hard to talk about the situation with Kim,” but that she wanted “to kind of run through how it happened” to clarify why it is actually not the two-way “catfight” that the media has portrayed it to be. As she put it, “There has been one person talking.”
