Kim Cattrall 'Likes' Comment Saying She Carried ‘Sex and the City’

The shade of it all! Kim Cattrall endorsed one Sex and the City fan’s suggestion that she “carried” the classic HBO show.

The latest round in the seemingly never-ending rift between Cattrall, 69, and her Sex and the City costars occurred on the actress’ birthday on Wednesday, August 22, when a fan took aim at the show on her behalf. (Cattrall played publicist Samantha Jones on Sex and the City but chose not to return on a full-time basis for the sequel show And Just Like That.)

According to Page Six, Cattrall “liked” a comment that read: “And Just Like That…we all know [it] was Sam (Kim) who carried the entire franchise. You, embodied everything that is the essence of a strong, powerful, and vulnerable woman. we love and respect you.”

The shady social media interaction came one week after And Just Like That wrapped up its third and final season on HBO Max. While Cattrall had a cameo appearance in season 2, she did not participate in the final AJLT episodes.

Cattrall has made no secret of the fact that she did not get along with Sex and the City costar Sarah Jessica Parker. During a 2017 appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, she confirmed that she no longer kept in touch with any of her SATC castmates.

“I don’t see them,” she said. “The common ground we had was the series and the series is over.”

Cattrall clarified that she only ever viewed Parker as a colleague, not a friend. She also alluded to an overall “toxic relationship” with her Sex and the City coworkers, adding: “I just wish that Sarah had been nicer.”

During a 2018 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Parker responded that she was “heartbroken” by Cattrall’s description of their relationship.

“I found it very upsetting,” she told host Andy Cohen. “That’s not the way I recall our experience. It’s sad but I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience. It was a professional experience but it became personal.”

Despite the bad blood, Cattrall did eventually film one short scene for And Just Like That season 2 where Samantha and Carrie Bradshaw spoke on the phone. She opened up on The View in June 2023 about why she finally agreed to play Samantha Jones again after previously ruling it out.

“It’s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, ‘What can we do?’ and I went, ‘Hmm, let me get creative,’” Cattrall teased. “And one of those things was to get [costume designer] Pat Field back because I just thought that if I’m going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did!”

When a fan subsequently asked whether she was returning once again for what turned out to be the final season of And Just Like That, Cattrall replied via X in July 2024: “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not.”

Old episodes of Sex and the City and And Just Like That are available to stream any time on HBO Max.
