No love lost: Kim Cattrall doesn’t have ‘any regrets’ about blasting Sarah Jessica Parker
Kim Cattrall still doesn’t want to have anything to do with her “Sex and the City” co-star Sarah Jessica Parker.
Now that she’s back on primetime television, she has no interest in rekindling a relationship with the legendary HBO show’s main star.
When a Los Angeles Times reporter brought up Parker while Cattrall promoted her new Fox series “Filthy Rich,” Cattrall, 64, suggested the reporter research her feelings about the woman who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw on the Darren Starr-created sitcom.
“Everything is on Google. So, I encourage you to Google it about anything that I’ve said,” she said. “I feel that was then, and when I look at what’s going on around me, I just don’t have any regrets.”
To refresh memories, Cattrall first let the cat out of the bag about her feelings in 2017 when she shared that her former costars Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Parker were not as close as their onscreen characters.
“We’ve never been friends,” the Liverpool native told Piers Morgan at the time. “We’ve been colleagues and, in some ways, it’s a very healthy place to be.”
When it came to Parker specifically, Cattrall said she “could have been nicer,” adding, “I don’t know what her problem is. I never have.”
In February 2018, the tension ratcheted up when Cattrall ripped the “Hocus Pocus” actress after she used social media to offer condolences following her brother’s death.
“My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’” Cattrall wrote via Instagram. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
As far as sharing the screen together again, the “Porky’s” actress has pooh-poohed any possibilities.
Her decision not to sign on for a third “Sex and the City” movie is absolute.
She has told media outlets that she would “never” want to work on the franchise again.
“It’s a no from me,” Cattrall reportedly said last year. “You learn lessons in life and my lesson is to do work with good people and try and make it fun.”
She suggested that a woman of color play the role of Samantha Jones if another sequel materializes.
Based on Candice Bushnell’s best-selling anthology, “Sex and the City” became a television touchstone in the late 1990s and spun off two feature films which grossed nearly $800 million at the box office.
