It is kind of ridiculous to me that SJP and the others can't at least acknowledge something like "yeah, we can see why Kim felt like an outsider and there probably is more we could have done to include her." I think to some degree her outside status on the set was an accident of age and career (SJP and Nixon were longtime friends, and Davis was the same age and fit in with them personality-wise more) and not an intentional slight. But I also think an adult who'd worked with someone for many years should be able to acknowledge "hey, that probably was frustrating for her and maybe we could have gone about it better." Their refusal to even acknowledge Kim's feelings or why role both in front of the camera and behind the scenes felt unkind to her just strikes me as catty, mean girl behavior.
Also, the thing where SJP tried to publicly offer condolences to Kim regarding her brother and Kim was like "no, we're not friends." I was fully on Kim's side on that one. If your relationship with someone is on the rocks, or even if you haven't spoken to them in a long time and don't know why, it is manipulative to perform this closeness to them on social media. If you want to reach out, you do so privately so that they can respond in an honest way. I thought that was really tacky of SJP and I'm glad Catrall called it out.
