Sarah Jessica Parker He spoke at length, for the first time, about the gap in their relationship. Kim Catral – who, like Parker, was one of the four main stars of the historic HBO comedy series sex and the City And its two big screen adaptations of Samantha playing opposite Parker Kerry, and why Catral wasn’t invited to participate. And so, SATC The revival series that has just aired its first season on HBO Max.
Talking Scott Feinberg inside THRyea lecture about awards Parker admitted that “it’s very difficult to talk about the situation with Kim”, but wanted to “laugh at how it happened” to know why this isn’t the two-way “cat fight” the media has. He portrayed it. As he said, “A man was speaking.”
According to Parker, the problems related to Catral date back to 2017, when the third sex and the City The film was considered, but “fell” due to contract requirements that Catral placed on Warner Bros., the studio that would finance and distribute the film. (Reports at the time suggested that Katral had conditioned her participation due to green lights in the studio, which were unrelated to her project.) “I don’t want to do this without Kim,” Parker said. “we were [she and costars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon] upset? clear. But happens. ”
However, Catral began to publicly criticize Parker, accusing him of treating him brutally during the initial run. sex and the CityHe argues that the two were never really friends. [and saying the same of her relationship with Davis and Nixon] And he even denied continuing Parker’s condolences in 2018 after the death of Cattrall’s brother.
“There was a lot of public conversation about how he felt about the show,” Parker said. lecture about awards – Conversations that Parker considers “very painful” because they don’t reflect “our experience”. [meaning hers, Davis’s or Nixon’s] And because, he added, “I worked for many years to always be worthy of everyone on set, to take care of people, to be responsible to people and to them, both to my bosses and to the people I am. I feel like I have a responsibility as a show producer. And there’s just no one who’s ever talked about me like that.”
Although Parker readily acknowledged that Catral “has contributed greatly to his success” sex and the City Series and movies, he also explained: “We didn’t ask him to be a part of it. [And Just Like That…] Because he made it clear that this was not what he wanted to do and for us it was no longer comfortable and so it didn’t occur to us. This is not his “rest”, this is just a learning experience. You have to listen to someone and if he talks about something in public and that doesn’t mean that’s the place he wants to be, or the person he wants to play with, or the environment he wants to be in, you go to an age. where you understand: ” “Well, we understand that.”
Parker also noted, “We felt comfortable moving without him and without that part because we knew what Miguel [Patrick King, the AJLT showrunner] He wanted to do this. And we think he handled it very well. ” [On AJLT, Samantha’s absence is attributed to a falling out that she had with Carrie after Carrie informed her that her services as a publicist were no longer needed.]
Parker wrapped up his remarks about the catalysis to the media to stop misunderstanding what happened: “I just want to say one thing because I was given this opportunity: It’s very painful for people to talk about this ‘cat fight’. – “fight fight Fight”. I have never said controversial words in my life about anyone I worked with. Any time. The “fight” does not continue. There were no public disputes, fights, conversations or accusations made by me or anyone on my behalf. I would not do that. I wouldn’t be like that. So I wish they would stop calling this a “cat fight” or “argument” because it doesn’t reflect [reality]. One person was talking. ”

you can listen below [starting at 58:20] Or read Parker’s raw and comprehensive notes on Catral…
It’s pretty simple, you know? As far as I can be clear. It’s really hard to talk to Kim about the situation because – I was very careful not to say anything nasty, because I don’t like having such difficult conversations, you know? So I have ideas, and seeing how they bring them to light is really fun.
In the studio, when we were going to shoot the third movie, there were some things he asked and couldn’t do. They didn’t feel comfortable in the meeting he wanted to meet, so we didn’t make the movie because we didn’t want to make it without Kim, and the studio wasn’t going to make it, so it collapsed. Not that I said “no” to the film; That’s what the studio said “no” to the movie, which, as you know, happens. And every actor has the right to demand something, to have a contract that is good. I’ve never argued about it because, to be honest, it’s none of my business. Are we disappointed? clear. But happens.
And then there was a lot of public talk about how he felt about the show. And again, that would mean you would have to spend on these processes. [But] It was not our experience. And I’ve spent many years working to always be worthy of everyone on set, take care of people, be responsible to people and to them, both my bosses and the people I feel responsible for. As a show producer. And there’s just no one who’s ever talked about me like that, so it’s very painful.
He made a huge contribution to the success, I think you know that. His portrayal of that role was wonderful and complemented everything, right? There were four points on the board and they were all important. But we didn’t ask him to participate because he made it clear that’s not what he wanted to do and it wasn’t comfortable for us anymore, so it didn’t occur to us. This is not his “rest”, this is just a learning experience. You need to listen to someone and if you talk about something in public and that doesn’t mean it’s the place you want to be, or the person you want to play with, or the environment you want to be in, you’ll have it for the age you want to be. you think, “Okay, we get that.”
We were very dependent on Michael. [Patrick King] address him [on the show] And figuring out how to talk about Samantha’s absence because we love Samantha so much and wouldn’t love Samantha, I mean, it’s all about Kim, so you can come to a natural conclusion that she’s there because of Kim’s work. . But we felt comfortable moving without him and without that part because we knew what Michael wanted to do. We think he had a great time, that he was there and he was, and that was good for all of us and, I think, the audience.
So I hope we have discussed this in a reasonable way.
And I want to say just one thing, because they gave me this opportunity: it is very painful for people to keep talking about this “cat fight”: fight, fight, fight. I have never said controversial words in my life about anyone I worked with. The “fight” does not continue. There were no public disputes, fights, conversations or accusations made by me or anyone on my behalf. I would not do that. I wouldn’t be like that, I just wish they would stop calling it a “cat fight” or “argument” because it doesn’t reflect reality: a person was talking. And I’m not going to tell him, or anyone else, so it was painful for me too.
