Did Kim Cattrall put kibosh on SATC 3?

The U.K.’s Daily Mail reported an “exclusive” Thursday: Kim Cattrall, who played the brash, lascivious Samantha Jones, was the supposed holdout for a third film instalment of Sex and the City, demanding that Warner Bros. produce some of her other movie ideas or she wouldn’t participate in the film. A “source” told the tabloid that everyone else was pretty much ready to start filming.

Meanwhile, across town — or an ocean, rather — Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the glamorous Carrie Bradshaw, confirmed to Extra that day that Sex and the City 3 was indeed officially squashed.

“It’s not halted; it’s over,” Parker said. “We’re not doing it . ... I’m disappointed.

“You know, we had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story, and I think — it’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell that story and, you know, have that experience, I think more so it’s for that audience that has been so vocal about wanting a third movie.”

Though Parker did not name her co-star as the reason, we couldn’t help but wonder ... were the rumours true?

Not according to a tweet from Cattrall: “Woke 2 a @MailOnline storm! The only ‘DEMAND’ I ever made was that I didn’t want to do a 3rd film ...& that was back in 2016”

However, some of the other cast members didn’t seem to agree. Willie Garson (BFF to Carrie, Stanford Blatch) posted a nowdeleted tweet: “And that, is that. And sadly, the reasons are true. Period.”

In an interview she taped with Piers Morgan on Monday, Cattrall reaffirmed her stance on the issue. “It’s quite extraordinary to get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva,” Cattrall told Morgan on Life Stories, according to the Daily Mail.

“And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City,” she continued, “and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker in that I think she could have been nicer.”
