Kristin Davis Recalls 'Humiliating' Groping Incident on Sex and the City Set
SCANDAL ROCKS THE SATC SET: KRISTIN DAVIS REVEALS SHOCKING GROPING INCIDENT
In a jaw-dropping revelation, Kristin Davis, one of the original cast members of the iconic HBO series Sex and the City, has come forward with a shocking confession. The 60-year-old actress, known for her charming portrayal of Charlotte York on the hit show, revealed that she was subjected to a humiliating experience while filming an episode of season two.
On a recent episode of her podcast, Are You a Charlotte?, Davis recounted the incident, which left even her most ardent fans gasping in shock. "I'm just like, 'God, the humiliation factor is so high,'" she recalled, her voice trembling with emotion. "And there's this close-up shot of him grabbing my butt."
The incident occurred during a wedding scene in season two's episode titled The Chicken Dance, which aired in 1999. According to Davis, the director, Victoria Hochberg, was instructing her scene partner to grope her, repeatedly yelling, "Harder, harder, bigger, grab her a, grab her a." The actress claimed that the director was standing far away across the room, almost as if she had a bullhorn.
"I felt like I was in some kind of nightmare," Davis said, her voice laced with disgust. "I mean, who does that? Who tells someone to grope another person on camera?" She continued, "And you know what's even more disturbing? The crew members were all sleeping on the floor, too exhausted to care about what was going on."
The actress admitted that she was furious at the time, but her anger was tempered by the knowledge that she had to dance with her scene partner in front of a live studio audience. "I remember thinking, 'Man, we've got a crazy show, a crazy show,'" Davis said, shaking her head.
This is not the only instance of controversy surrounding Sex and the City, however. In a previous episode of her podcast, Davis revealed that she had been mortified by one particular storyline in the series. She had tried to get out of filming it, but was eventually forced to participate.
The show, which originally aired from 1998 to 2004, followed the lives of four friends living in New York City. The series starred Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York.
In recent years, Sex and the City has experienced a resurgence in popularity with the release of two films and a new HBO series, And Just Like That. However, it seems that some of the original cast members are still reeling from the consequences of their time on the show.
As for Davis' shocking revelation, fans are left to wonder how much more was going on behind-the-scenes during the filming of Sex and the City. With her courage in sharing this personal experience, Kristin Davis has opened up a Pandora's box of questions about the dark side of Hollywood's golden age.
The incident raises important questions about power dynamics, consent, and the treatment of women in the entertainment industry. It also highlights the fact that even in the most glamorous and seemingly carefree settings, there can be a hidden underbelly of abuse and exploitation.
As fans continue to devour every morsel of news surrounding Sex and the City, one thing is clear: Kristin Davis' revelation has sparked a much-needed conversation about the realities of working in Hollywood.
