Chris Noth Says He Felt “Protective” Over Sarah Jessica Parker After Kim Cattrall Fallout - Hollywood Reporter

"I just don’t like to see anyone talking down about SJ because she’s a target and people can be nasty...

I was not happy about that," the actor said of Cattrall lashing out on social media against Parker following the death of her brother in 2018.

In an interview with The Guardian published Monday, the actor said he felt “protective” over co-star Sarah Jessica Parker following Cattrall’s comments.

Following the death of Cattrall’s brother in 2018, Parker reached out on social media with messages of sympathy, however, Cattrall replied on social media and argued that her former SATC castmate was only doing so as a tactic to maintain a “nice girl persona.” .

While speaking on James Andrew Miller’s Origins podcast, Parker said of Cattrall, “I’m not in a catfight with anybody.

I’ve never publicly — ever — said anything unfriendly, unappreciative about Kim because that’s not how I feel about her.”.

Cattrall’s character will not be featured in HBO Max’s upcoming SATC revival And Just Like That… — the actress famously turned down all overtures to appear in a third SATC movie — with showrunner Michael Patrick King telling The Hollywood Reporter that the revival was never going to feature all four women: “It never was on the radar as four because Kim Cattrall, for whatever reason, didn’t want to play Samantha anymore while we were doing the [third] movie.

“It was a long conversation, it continued through the pandemic and he took in a lot of my ideas and we came up with a way for me to work into it,” Noth said, also admitting that though the films “did pretty well,” he was “a little uncomfortable” with “how the issues between Carrie and Big were resolved” in the second SATC film

In addition to Noth, Parker, Nixon and Davis returning, the late Willie Garson is also to be featured in the revival
