Cattrall and Parker costarred on Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004 and later reprised their roles for two movie sequels in 2008 and 2010. During negotiations for a third SATC movie in 2010, Parker claimed Cattrall made requests from the studio that didn’t come through, so the cast decided not to move forward without her. That is when Parker and Cattrall’s rift allegedly began.
In 2017, Cattrall claimed during an interview with Piers Morgan that the two have “never been friends.” Cattrall alleged that Parker “could have been nicer,” during their time on set, claiming, “I don’t know what her problem is.”
The following year, Cattrall slammed Parker after the actress offered condolences to Cattrall after her brother died. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend,” Cattrall fired back via social media in 2018. “So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
In response, Parker told Extra in October 2018, “She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn’t a catfight. This is someone who chose to talk about something, and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together.”
When Parker revived her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw, for HBO Max’s And Just Like That sequel series in 2021, Cattrall did not sign on. She did, however, make a cameo during a 2023 episode.
