Yahoo Lifestyle Kristin Davis Reveals Sarah Jessica Parker’s Take On 'Sex And The City' Critiques
When it comes to “Sex and the City’s” Carrie Bradshaw, the line between love and hate is thinner than the heel on a pair of Manolo Blahniks.
Kristen Davis revealed on a recent episode of her podcast “Are You a Charlotte?” that her co-star Sarah Jessica Parker was affected by critiques of her character on the show.
Davis, who played Charlotte York on the show, told producer Michael Patrick King that Parker takes criticism of Carrie “personally.”
“There’s still people who are like, ‘Carrie’s the worst!’ Or whatever different thing it is that week,” Davis said, with King chiming in that fans were angry over the character cheating on Aidan, played by John Corbett, or wearing a slip to go out for coffee.
Before embarking on spinoff “And Just Like That,” Parker confided in Davis, sharing her frustration with the way fans felt about her character.
“What is this thing where people don’t like Carrie?” she recalled Parker asking her. “I mean, how could they not like Carrie?” Davis, ever the reassuring friend, told her not to worry about it.
One of the more recent critiques of Carrie Bradshaw came from rapper Megan Thee Stallion during an October appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.”
“Nobody told me ‘Sex and the City’ was this good,” the rapper said, revealing she had just started watching the series.
She admitted that she was “upset” at how the show ended. The artist, who aligned herself with Samantha Jones (played by Kim Cattrall), had a few choice words for Carrie.
“She’s always attractive, doing these sicko things,” she said. “She’s nuts.”
The rapper then confessed she saw a lot of herself in Carrie thanks to the character’s love of drama: “Like, she would literally wake up and figure out: ‘How can I mess up everybody’s day?’”
