Kristin Davis reveals Sarah Jessica Parker is ‘still mad’ over iconic Sex And The City episode

Kristin Davis recalled a moment from Sex and the City when Sarah Jessica Parker had a conniption over her wardrobe. 

During a recent episode of her Are You a Charlotte podcast, Kristin, 59, revealed that SJP is ‘still mad’ over the bridesmaid dress she had to wear in season three when Charlotte married Trey MacDougal (Kyle MacLachlan).

‘Sarah did not want to wear beige at Charlotte’s wedding,’ Kristen said to showrunner Michael Patrick King on Wednesday’s episode. 

‘Sarah is like still mad about it,’ she added as King called that particular episode ‘one of the longest days of [his] life.’

Parker, 59, was so upset that she took scissors to the Vera Wang gown to alter it before she would consent to being seen on camera in it. 

‘SJ goes and cuts up the Vera Wang dress. She hates it,’ King said.

During a recent episode of herpodcast, Kristin, 59, revealed that SJP is ‘still mad’ over the bridesmaid dress she had to wear in season three when Charlotte married Trey MacDougal 

‘She didn’t wanna wear beige so much, she cut it up and started putting tartan pieces on it because Trey was wearing a kilt. I mean it was so funny.’

‘No, she was out of her mind,’ Davis interjected about the alleged dispute that happened while filming the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell episode in 2000.

Davis said that Parker came to her at one point confused about why it had to be beige, proving that Sarah’s character Carrie Bradshaw and Sarah had a similar approach to fashion.

‘At one point, she came to me and she was like, “I don’t understand…,”’ Davis recalled.

‘And I’m like, “But, it’s Charlotte’s wedding. Of course, you’d be wearing beige — matching. I mean, I don’t understand what you don’t understand.”‘

Davis also recently opened up about how ‘unsafe’ she felt filming sex scenes in the early days of Sex and the City. 

She said she ‘did not feel protected’ as she depicted bedroom scenes without the help of intimacy coordinators.

Speaking to People, the star said: ‘I had to hide in my dressing room at the end of the scenario. I had to hide in my dressing room and call my manager in L.A, at two in the morning.’

‘SJ goes and cuts up the Vera Wang dress. She hates it,’ King said

‘All of that was kind of vague,’ she explained. ‘I also feel like we didn’t talk about it as a group in a way that would’ve been helping and would’ve happened now. 

‘Like, if there’d been intimacy coordinators and all that stuff. There would’ve been much more discussion now, but there wasn’t then.’

She continued: ‘I don’t know how the men would feel watching cause I’m not a man. But it would be more for the male gaze than for the female gaze,’ she said of filming the scenes. ‘A female gaze — they don’t wanna see that.’

Davis said Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones and had the most amount of graphic sex scenes – was ‘fearless and could definitely protect herself’ and that Carrie Bradshaw star Parker was the ‘most protected’ but felt ‘most uncomfortable’ about onscreen nudity.

SJP was notably the only star among the four leads to have a no-nudity clause in her contract.

Davis recalled an interaction with Miranda Hobbes star Cynthia Nixon after she filmed a love scene with David Eigenberg, who portrayed Steve Hobbes.

She said: ‘Cynthia doesn’t care about anything. Like, I remember one thing she filmed with [David] Eigenberg, and I was like, “Why is he grabbing her breast like that? Why didn’t someone tell him to do it?”

‘I was like, “Tell him to do it more nicely” And she was like, “What are you talking about?” I was like, “Who was protecting you there?” She’s like, “No one.”‘

Davis said the sex scenes became more comfortable over time with the cast having more input.

This comes after Davis revealed the paltry amount she was offered for the Sex and the City pilot. The actress said she was given a $5000 offer to be a ‘recurring character’ on the now iconic HBO series.

Speaking on the debut episode of her podcast, the star said it threw her into jeopardy after she was suddenly offered a new contract while filming the pilot alongside fellow stars Parker, Cattrall and Nixon.

‘One day, I’m in my trailer and she [a producer] knocks on my door and I opened it and she says, “Oh, well, we have this paperwork we need you to fill out.”

‘And I was like, “OK.” I take the paperwork and I look at it and it seems to be a new contract, but it’s only two pages long, and I’m like, “What is this?” And it says, “You will be a recurring character and you will be paid $5,000.”’
