Right? I’m so confused why anyone can fault SJP in this situation ALONE.

Yep. And if you hadn't, it would have been very strange.

I agree with this, but when you're famous like this and have an option to do it privately vs make a show of it publicly, I would 100% have done it privately, to show my sincerity and so that the other person (whom I know has hard feelings in our relationship) would not feel uncomfortable. I wouldn't have responded the way Cattrall did, but I wouldn't have done what SJP did either.

You know there isn’t some secret white pages of celebrity cell phone numbers, right? They don’t all have each other’s contact information. Celebrities also tend to change their contact information more often than regular people because their info leaks out and then they get a bunch of unwelcome calls/texts. Given that KC says she hasn’t talked to anyone from SATC in years, SJP truly may not have had a way to contact KC directly other than over social media (in response to KC’s own social media post).

I think this whole public vs private thing is dumb when you’re talking about a comment on an Instagram post. It isn’t like she took out a full page ad in the nyt or something. I think this is about the least obnoxious thing to do “in public”

I think this makes Kim look nutty.

I ask again, WHERE was it a “show of it publicly”? It was one comment, correct?

Um, yes, it was one PUBLIC comment. Did it need to be three to count as public?

Huh? There's no way SJP would have had difficulty sending a note to Cattrall, via their "people".

+1. I thought that's what most people would do if they had manners.

That’s different. It was a co-worker.

If somebody I hated or caused me harm/grief in the past and I wasn’t in friendly or speaking terms and never planned to be—seeing their condolences very soon after a loved one’s death when I knew it wasn’t sincere would cause me further pain. Not something to inflict on the grieving.

Kim and SJP may have been "friends" as characters on the show, but they were co-workers in real life.

1. It would be tacky for me to send my condolences to my friend Jessica on her Instagram page on a picture of her with her kids smiling at their school play. But when you, Kim, post on Instagram about your newly deceased brother, it's reasonable to send condolences there, publicly. SJP - not at fault for this.

2. Yes, KC's response is a bit whoa. However, she is in the depths of grief right now. She should be excused for erratic behavior. KC - technically at fault but should not be faulted in these extenuating circumstances.

3. So just to be clear: we're NOT talking about the rumor that Matthew Broderick is gay and SJP is his beard? Oh, okay. Bummer.

Because having her “people” give a note to KC’s people would have been warmer and more person that’s responding directly to KC’s public post about her brother?

C’mon people, it’s not like KC was keeping this private and SJP made a big showy social media thing of it. KC posted about it on social media, and SJP responded with a comment. She did nothing else to draw attention to herself. If responding to a post is so improper, why are you not also taking Cynthia Nixon to task for doing the same thing? KC isn’t friends with CN either.

I feel like the "private" note would've been weirder and forced given their obviously strained relationship and no doubt THAT would not have been well received either.

Isn't this basically equivalent to when an acquaintance posts about the loss of a loved one on social media and even if you are not close, had a falling out or haven't talk to that person in years, you take 10 seconds to respond and say "sorry for your loss" because even though you may not be close to them, you can still feel for anyone who is hurting and you do not wish them pain but then the receiver responds to said condolences by saying "Sorry, everyone else can say sorry but not YOU!" Whether you are a celebrity or not, it's weird.

Instead, SJP and Cynthia Nixon both posted condolences. Kim responded to CN with: 'Cynthia, hearing your voice meant so much to me. Thank you for reaching out. Love Kim #SexandtheCity.

Then responded to SJP with: I don't need your love or support at this tragic time. My Mom asked me today “When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?” Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.

Wtf, Kim? I get that you're grieving, but that seems completely unnecessary.

OP, is it really a feud if it's so one-sided?

That kind of tells me that SJP really was a b*tch to Kim during the SATC days and that Kim feels the "reaching out" SJP does is just for show.

Perhaps.

I get that she is going through a difficult time, but she simply could have chosen not to respond, instead of lashing out in such an ugly way. There is something to be said for keeping a dignified silence.

KC's brother died. SJP could have practiced a more dignified and silent way of reaching out instead of doing so publicly. I don't blame KC for calling her out. SJP was exploiting his death to make it seem like she was the nice guy.

From all accounts, it sounds like KC was really treated badly by SJP.

As for the baby thing, 40s for an actress with means isn't too old. She could've used donor eggs. But given her role on the show, there was no way she could film while pregnant. More than any of the other characters, it was important for her to stay in shape. And she should've been compensated more than SJP. She was the biggest name. And her character and her acting made the show. That's why they wouldn't do the movie without her.

You could've replaced SJP with any other actress, and it would've been fine. But Kim Cattrall's Samantha was a huge reason the show was a hit and was also a huge reason that men watched and that it had a wider audience than just single 30-something women. Without Samantha, the rest of the characters and story lines wouldn't have been interesting to as broad a range of viewers, and it would've been more of a cult favorite than an HBO hit.

This! Samatha stole the show and it grated on SJP. The show became smarmy when SJP started producing the show. Carrie changed in a cringe worthy way not related to frank sexual themes. Carrie's lines were just awful and smarmy. In the beginning she had a razor wit and wouldn't have tolerated Big's crap. The lack of reality re her life style and the commercialism they pushed ruined it.

For the people who keep saying Catrall should have kept quiet, through all of this SJP has leaked info to the press to blame Catrall for any difficulty with the show whether Catrall had anything to do with it or not. SJP made it appear that Catrall was acting like a diva demanding things when she never did. It was a slimy, manipulative way to force Catrall in to signing on to the movies. Kim said no one had contacted her when there were stories that she was demanding more money to do the second movie. Slimy.

Also SJP was horrible on WWHL with Any Cohen. It was not enjoyable to watch.

This. She was a major tw@t about Kim on the show and then days later wants to post a public message of sympathy? Uh no. Kim’s post was restrained.

She does not care about the movie, she cares about the money.

I'm still so upset to learn they aren't all best friends in real life! Don't they all hang out together in the city with their families?

Why? Are you BBF with your coworkers?
