Sex and the City Feud: Friends or Colleagues?
4 Nov
Summary
- Salary disparities fueled early tensions between the co-stars.
- The feud became public after plans for a third movie were canceled.
- Cattrall stated they were never friends, only colleagues.
The on-screen friendship between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall as Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones in "Sex and the City" masked a significant real-life feud. Initial signs of tension emerged between 1998 and 2004 during the show's original run, reportedly due to salary disparities and Cattrall feeling excluded from Parker and Cynthia Nixon's existing friendship. Despite these rumors, both actresses maintained professionalism.
The alleged feud became undeniable in 2017 when plans for a third "Sex and the City" movie collapsed. Reports suggested Cattrall's demands were the cause, though she stated she simply did not wish to return. Cattrall later publicly clarified her relationship with Parker, stating on Piers Morgan's show that they had "never been friends; we've been colleagues."
This tension reached a breaking point in February 2018 following the death of Cattrall's brother. When Parker offered condolences publicly, Cattrall responded via Instagram, stating, "You are not my family. You are not my friend," effectively ending any pretense of a close relationship.
