Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall’s legendary feud flares again as And Just Like That ends, with behind-the-scenes tension and public digs keeping fans hooked
It’s been the topic on everyone’s lips since And Just Like That hit our screens – the tension between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall.
And as the hit Sex and the City reboot wraps up, fans are left wondering have these two stars finally buried the hatchet, or is the feud still simmering?
The friction between the pair dates back decades, and we’re about to dive into the thick of it…
In 2017, following the death of Kim’s brother, she stunned fans by publicly rejecting Parker’s condolences, writing: “I don’t need your love or support. Please, just respect my privacy.”
Sarah reportedly felt hurt but refrained from responding publicly, setting the tone for years of cold politeness rather than friendship.
Rumours of tension on-set of the original Sex and the City series had also been bubbling for years. Reports suggested that Kim often clashed with Sarah over screen time and creative input, and that the two rarely socialised off-camera.
According to insiders, the stars had disagreements over wardrobe choices, dialogue, and the direction of Samantha’s storylines which all continued into the reboot.
During the filming of And Just Like That, the drama escalated further with Kim famously refused to return as Samantha Jones for the reboot, reportedly citing “creative differences” and a desire not to revisit old tensions.
In response, the writers explained Samantha’s absence by having her move to London, a move that sparked speculation about whether the feud influenced major plot decisions.
The former co-stars also rarely interact online, but every subtle interaction is thoroughly dissected by fans. Kim has publicly described Sarah as “not a friend” and “difficult,” but SJP has mainly stayed silent.
Even at red carpets and premieres, fans have noted the cold shoulders and absence of camaraderie that once defined the pair’s iconic bond.
With the series finale bringing closure to some storylines, insiders hint that behind-the-scenes tensions may have influenced the show’s direction. From rumoured disagreements on scripts to careful scene adjustments, the saga seems to have been as dramatic off-screen as on.
