Sarah Jessica Parker & Kim Cattrall Feud: Latest Drama & Updates

05 May, 2025

Has the glamorous facade of "Sex and the City" truly concealed a bitter real-life feud? For years, whispers of tension have swirled around the show's iconic stars, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall, suggesting a relationship far more complex than their on-screen camaraderie.

On the surface, Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones were the epitome of friendship, navigating the highs and lows of life in New York City together. However, the reality, as alleged by various sources and fueled by public statements, appears to be significantly more strained. The alleged animosity has persisted, with both actresses addressing the rumors in interviews, often with veiled references to the other. The details of the dispute, however, are still a subject of speculation and public interest.

To understand the depth of this reported rivalry, a closer look at the individuals involved is necessary:

The whispers surrounding the relationship began during the original run of "Sex and the City." Rumors suggest a growing disparity in the actresses' respective compensations, allegedly with Sarah Jessica Parker receiving a significantly higher salary than her co-stars. This alleged financial imbalance, combined with perceptions of Parker's influence and perceived preferential treatment, purportedly fueled resentment from Kim Cattrall. The series' end in 2004 did little to quell the speculation; if anything, the rumors became more frequent and insistent, with the actresses seemingly avoiding each other publicly.

The situation appeared to intensify when Cattrall's brother tragically passed away. Parker publicly offered her condolences on social media. According to certain accounts, Cattrall perceived the gesture as disingenuous, especially given the prior reported tensions. Some sources suggest that Cattrall never felt adequately supported or valued by Parker, leading to a feeling of offense at the public statement.

The anticipation surrounding the "Sex and the City" reboot, titled "And Just Like That...", only served to intensify interest in the alleged feud. Cattrall's absence from the revival fueled further speculation, as fans questioned whether the tension between the actresses prevented her return. Parker addressed the situation, explaining that Cattrall was not invited to participate. She also downplayed the "catfight" narrative, stating that only "one person" had been speaking publicly about the issue. This further fueled the mystery surrounding the ongoing drama.

The timeline of events offers a fragmented, yet revealing, portrait of the alleged conflict:

"Sex and the City" Era (1998-2004): Whispers of discord, particularly regarding salary disparities and perceived preferential treatment, started during the show's original run.
Post-Series Tension: Reports of a fractured relationship persisted after the show concluded. Public appearances together became less frequent, and joint interviews offered carefully worded responses that didnt dispel the rumors.
2017: Before the comments, Sarah denied the bad blood between them.
2018: Kim Cattrall publicly addressed the rift with Parker. The social media message, offering condolences, and the response, highlighted the ongoing estrangement.
"And Just Like That..." (2021-Present): Cattrall's absence from the reboot reignited the discussion. Public statements from Parker confirmed the rift, furthering the narrative of a long-standing conflict.

The public feud is not only between the two actresses, according to Michael Patrick King, "Sex and the City" writer and executive producer. The relationship between the two actresses was rough. The actresses have publicly addressed their rumored feud in interviews, revealing a complex narrative. Parker has, on several occasions, denied any malicious intent toward her former co-star. Yet, the consistent reports of tension, coupled with Cattrall's own responses, paint a picture of a relationship fractured by professional jealousy, personal slights, and differing perspectives.

Further complicating the narrative is the actresses' differing perspectives on the situation. Parker has consistently portrayed the situation as a regrettable consequence of miscommunication, emphasizing the importance of the show and the impact it has had on fans. Cattrall, on the other hand, has been more direct, publicly stating her feelings and making it clear that she has moved on from the relationship. There has been the perception of a lack of support from Parker. These differences in perspective have only served to widen the divide, making reconciliation appear unlikely.

The recent developments, including Cattrall's limited return in the "And Just Like That" reboot, provide a potential, if small, step toward healing the rift. However, it also appears that the actresses are not close friends. The public continues to be captivated by the drama, and the story is not finished. The feud between these two actresses, has become an enduring narrative, a testament to the complexity of relationships, both on and off screen.

The persistent question remains: can these two women, who once shared a professional journey that defined an era, find a way to move beyond the animosity that has come to overshadow their shared history? Or will the drama between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker continue to capture the public's imagination, a permanent footnote in the history of "Sex and the City?" The future remains uncertain, and the answer is known only by the two women at the center of this ongoing and captivating drama.
