Kim Cattrall Fans Feud Fizz: Did She 'Carry' Sex And The City?
Kim Cattrall Fires Warning Shot at Sarah Jessica Parker Amid SATC Feud, Fans Go Wild!
The drama never ends for the Sex and the City gang! Kim Cattrall is once again stirring up controversy as she continues her long-running feud with her former costar, Sarah Jessica Parker. This time, it's all about a fan's comment on Kim's Instagram post celebrating her 69th birthday.
In a bizarre twist, Kim, who famously left SATC in the dust when she declined to reprise her role for And Just Like That (AJLT), seemingly took credit for carrying the entire franchise with her iconic character Samantha Jones. But it was just a brief moment of levity before things turned ugly again!
The fan's comment on Kim's Instagram post read: "And Just Like That…we all know [it] was Sam who carried the entire franchise. You, embodied everything that is the essence of a strong, powerful, and vulnerable woman. We love and respect you." Kim acknowledged the note by giving it a 'like,' which has sparked a flurry of comments from fans weighing in on the drama.
But here's where things get really juicy! Chris Noth, who played Mr. Big (aka John James Preston) on SATC, surprisingly took sides in the feud by being the only one to wish Kim a happy birthday from the entire SATC franchise. Talk about an interesting move, especially considering his own scandals have been making headlines!
The drama surrounding AJLT has been brewing for months, with fans expressing their dissatisfaction with the show's final episodes. Episode 8 was particularly divisive, with viewers accusing the main characters of competing in a ridiculous game of "biggest dummy." The episode saw Carrie reunite with Aidan Shaw and Miranda Hobbes nearly relapse on alcohol, leaving many scratching their heads.
But it seems Kim is still fuming about her brief cameo in AJLT's season two finale. Insiders claim she was paid a whopping $1 million for just 70 seconds of screen time! Sources close to the actress revealed that she negotiated directly with HBO Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys, who reportedly begged her to return.
On The View last June, Kim spilled the tea on her decision to make a brief appearance in AJLT. "It's very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, 'What can we do?' And I went, 'Hmm, let me get creative.' One of those things was to get [costume designer] Pat Field back because I just thought that if I'm going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did!" Kim's words were laced with sarcasm and a hint of satisfaction, leaving fans wondering what she really meant.
The SATC franchise has been mired in controversy since AJLT premiered, with many fans feeling disappointed by the show's direction. The finale sparked outrage among viewers, who accused the writers of ruining beloved characters and relationships. Carrie's storyline was particularly criticized for its handling of her romance with Aidan Shaw and her fling with her neighbor Duncan.
It seems Kim Cattrall is still not pleased about being part of AJLT, despite her brief cameo. And as for Sarah Jessica Parker? Well, let's just say the actress hasn't been shy about throwing shade at her former costar. With all this drama brewing, it's no wonder fans are tuning in to see what happens next!
