The activist – who even ran for New York City governor in 2018 – also added ‘some of the trans stuff, some of the gay stuff was a little cringy to look at’.

It comes after her friend and fellow SATC star Kirstin Davis opened up about the bizarre rules that she and her costars had to observe when they were working on the show.
The 60-year-old actress delved into the ‘strange, cult-type’ requirements on an episode of her podcast Are You A Charlotte? in April, which featured the Emmy-winning writer Jenny Bicks, who wrote for Sex And The City.
During the chat, Kristin — who reprised her role as Charlotte York on HBO’s And Just Like That — explained how the series’ producers got progressively more restrictive about what she and her costars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia and Kim Cattrall were allowed to wear on screen.
Kristin — who also spoke about being forced to do nude scenes — got on the topic after talking about how she worried about her skirt riding up as she rewatched episode eight of the first season, which led her to a digression about wearing pantyhose.
‘Pat had not eradicated the pantyhose yet,’ Kristin joked, referring to the show’s stylist Patricia Field.
‘I remember there were elements — and this is probably something I shouldn’t say — there were strange, cult-type elements about being in that cast where there were like some rules,’ the actress admitted.
Kristin recalled one of King’s edicts as she shouted out, ‘No one will wear hose!’

She then listed some of the rules that were developed by her bosses as the series progressed.
‘No scrunchies. No banana clips,’ she added.
Jenny then teased Kristin about whether she felt ‘shame’ whenever she would wear a banana clip outside of the show.
The actress joked that she still worried about using one after taking a shower, even though ‘no one’s gonna see me.’
She emphasized that the rules were ‘little things’ that ‘came slowly’ to the show.
‘They weren’t all in the beginning,’ she added. ‘No hose unless they were fishnet. We went through a whole fishnet phase. If you could find double fishnets that was great. If you could find nude double fishnets even better.’
Kristin also revealed that there was a ‘heel-height situation,’ in which the actresses were required to wear towering heels when on screen.
She complained that the change took her ‘a while to get on board with’ as she struggled to walk in such over-the-top heels.
Among the things forbidden for the actresses to wear on screen were scrunchies, banana clips and pantyhose
‘Part of the problem is you can blame your costar Sarah Jessica Parker because she could run in those things,’ Jenny added. ‘She made it look so easy.’
Kristin chimed in that the rest of the cast ‘always had to live up’ to Sarah, who led the series as Carrie Bradshaw.
The rules were so detailed to list what G-strings the women were allowed to wear, and they were required to wear fashionable coats that were not ‘functional.’
‘We could go down the list of approved brands and not approved brands. There was a lot,’ she said.
Kristin also noted that the actresses were forbidden from keeping any of the wardrobe, as much of it was rented from high-profile fashion houses who might have refused to give them such a deal in the future if the clothes weren’t returned.
