Kristin Davis is the latest original Sex and the City star to comment on the negative social media attention she and co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon are facing in the HBO Max SATC reboot, And Just Like That…, because of their appearance on the show.
“I feel angry and I don’t want to feel angry all the time, so I don’t look at it, I just know it’s there,” Kristin Davis, who plays the role of Charlotte York Goldenblatt, and whose character does actually still dye her hair in the show, said in an interview with The Sunday Times’ Style magazine.
“That’s the problem with social media, right, is that you don’t know what those people are doing. You don’t know anything about them,” the 56-year-old actress added.
“They’re just hurling bombs at you. It makes me angry.”
But the criticism isn’t something she and her co-stars have only just started to face, as she said that she and her other three co-stars (including Kim Cattrall who is not a part of the reboot) were always criticized for their bodies and everything else you can think of back when they were in their 30s and filming the original SATC TV series…
“They would write articles every week about how I was ‘pear-shaped,’ which I didn’t feel was a compliment at the time,” the actress continued.
“It would stress me out a fair amount because I couldn’t avoid it. I kind of feel like that’s how it is now too.”
Let’s not forget that SJP also addressed the issue in Vogue last month, telling the publication that she was horrified by people’s “misogynistic” reactions to her and Cynthia Nixon’s gray hair which was not colored for the show, as well as the ladies’ overall appearances which have obviously changed since the original show started in 1998, and the last movie premiered all the way back in 2010.
