Kim Cattrall cast a thin, disguised shadow on her former Sex and the City rolemates by keeping a fan-tweet of her decision to put her ‘first’ and refuse to take part in the upcoming recharge of the HBO -show.
Kim, 64, has not yet made a public statement on the news of the series’ revival, but she made her feelings clear with her response to the tweet, which praised the star for “doing what the is best for her ‘.
The tweet reads: ‘I absolutely love Sex and the City, and although I am sad that Samantha will not return, I rejoice in doing what is best for you, and think it is a good example to yourself to put first. Well done @KimCattrall. ‘
To keep it tidy: Kim Cattrall, 64, hit her former Sex and the City teammates with a thin veil by holding a fan tweet that applauded her for refusing to participate in the recharge
‘Well done’: the tweet praised Cattrall for ‘putting herself first’ and ‘doing what’s best for her’. She left the role after the second movie amid reports of a feud with Sarah Jessica Parker
Kim and her co-stars Sarah Jessica, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon all became TV icons from 1998 to 2004.
After that, Kim appeared in both adaptations of the movies – including the critically acclaimed sequel in which Liza Minnelli sang the song from Beyonce’s Single Ladies.
However, Sarah Jessica has been publicly open to the idea of a reunion for some time and this Sunday it was announced that the project is continuing.
Of course, fans quickly noticed that the new poster for the show, called And Just Like That …, does not include Kim’s sex-crazed character Samantha Jones.
When one Instagram commenter suggested that Jennifer Coolidge be adopted as Samantha, Sarah Jessica vaguely wrote: ‘We have some new stories to tell. We are excited. ‘
It looks fantastic: Kim became a TV icon as sex-crazed publicist Samantha Jones on Sex And The City during his original appearance on HBO from 1998 to 2004.
She explains in another comment: ‘No, I do not like her. I’ve never said that before. Never would. Samantha is not part of this story. But she will always be part of us. No matter where we are or what we do. X. ‘
She also expressed her respect for Kim as when another commentator wrote that they would ‘miss Kim / Samantha’, Sarah Jessica replied: ‘We will do the same. We loved her so much. ‘
The original series created by Darren Star, and adapted from a column by Candace Bushnell, has appeared on HBO and the revival will therefore have a home on HBO Max.
Years ago, there were attempts to get the band back together for a third film, but the project never materialized, according to Kim’s objections.
“Kim never really wanted to do the movie. It was a combination of not a lot of money and a bad storyline for Samantha, ‘says an E! News insider in 2018.
As they were: Kim and her co-stars (from left) Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are pictured at the 2010 London Sex and The City 2 premiere.
Kim appeared on Life Stories in 2017 and tells MailOnline columnist Piers Morgan that she turned down the role at the end of 2016.
“It’s not about more money. It’s not about more scenes. This is not about one of those things. It’s about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life, to close one chapter and start another. I’m 61. It’s now. “The other girls are ten years younger than me, you know, and that’s their choice,” Kim said.
She stressed that she ‘has never been friends with her co-stars’, and insisted that she be labeled a ‘diva’ because she did not appear in a third film.
‘This is where I instruct the people of Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, because I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I do not know what her problem is, ‘she said.
‘The thing that still bothers me is this feeling that I was somehow made bad. I never asked for money, nor did I ask for projects to be considered a diva is ridiculous. ‘
Sarah Jessica denied rumors and said in 2018 that she was ‘sad’ about Kim’s comments about their relationship after years of collaboration.

“I found it really upsetting because it’s not the way I remember our experience,” she told Andy Cohen in his talk show Watch What Happens Live. ‘So … it’s sad … I always think it’s the unique experience that binds us together.
“It was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives,” she continued. ‘So I hope that kind of obscures something that has been talked about recently. It is such a privilege to spend many years doing something so special that people have had contact with. ‘
When Kim’s younger brother Chris committed suicide in 2018, the actress posted a statement about his death online.
‘It is with sadness that my family and I announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother, Chris Cattrall. At the moment we are asking for privacy. We want to thank you all on social media for your outpouring of love and support during this difficult time, ‘she wrote.
Sarah Jessica responds with a message on Kim’s Instagram and writes: ‘Dear Kim, my love and condolences to you and you and good luck to your beloved brother. Xx ‘
An angry Kim hit back at her former co-star, accusing her of “exploiting” a family tragedy in a follow-up post.
“I could not help but wonder … where are they now?”: Sarah Jessica posted a short, cryptic preview this Monday for the new show called And Just Like That …
“My mother asked me today, ‘When will the @Sarahhjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’ “Your constant outreach is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now,” Kim wrote on Instagram.
‘Let me make it VERY clear. (If I have not already done so). You are not my family. You’re not my friend. So I am writing to tell you one last time to stop taking advantage of our tragedy to restore your ‘beautiful girl’ persona. ‘
She then links with the New York Post story ‘Inside the mean-girls culture’ that destroyed ‘Sex and the City’ of 2017.
The article claims that Sarah Jessica, Kristin and Cynthia formed their own group of friends, excluding Kim.
Towards the end of the show, an insider told Page Six that Kim’s three co-stars would not talk to her “even in the makeup room”.
Last year, Kim, who was born in England and grew up mostly in Canada, became an American citizen and starred in the short-lived soap opera Filthy Rich.
