Cattrall rips SJP: ‘You are not my friend’
There’s blood on their Blahniks.
The simmering decadelong feud between “Sex and the City” alums Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker exploded Saturday when Cattrall publicly accused her former co-star of using her brother’s death to boost her image.
“I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona,” Cattrall seethed in an Instagram caption linking to an Oct. 7, 2017 Post article on the bad blood between the two.
The fiery words accompanied a photo of another shockingly unfiltered statement: “I don’t need your love or support at this time@ sarah jessicaparker .”
Cattrall’s anger came to a head after Parker, 52, posted a seemingly sympathetic comment about Cattrall’s brother, Chris Cattrall, who was found dead on his rural property in Blackfalds, Alberta, on Feb. 5, according to Canadian authorities.
“Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother,” Parker wrote on Cattrall’s Instagram post about her loss. On Feb. 4, Cattrall posted that her 55-year-old brother had been missing since Jan. 30, and that “his keys, cell phone & wallet left on the table and his front door unlocked.”
But the 61-year-old English-Canadian actress saw Parker’s words as nothing but crocodile tears to protect her image.
“Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now,” she continued in the Saturday morning post. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend.”
Cattrall, who played Samantha on the hit series, even included her mother in the irate post, writing: “My Mom asked me today ‘When will that@ sarah jessica parker, that hypocrite, leave you alone ?’”
Tensions between the two actresses resurfaced after Parker announced on Sept. 28 that the third installment of the series’ movie franchise wasn’t moving forward.
Shortly after, an anonymously sourced article in the Daily Mail claimed it was Cattrall’s “outrageous demands” that had halted the project.
The news prompted Cattrall to go on ITV on Oct. 23, telling interviewer Piers Morgan that she and Parker have “never been friends. We’ve been colleagues.”
She told Morgan she was never interested in doing a third film and never made any demands. “The answer was always no. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects. To be thought of as some kind of diva is ridic- ulous,” she said.
On Jan. 31, Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw on the beloved HBO comedy, responded in an interview on “Watch What Happens Live.” “Just heartbroken,” Parker said to show host Andy Cohen about Cattrall’s description of their relationship. “I found it very upsetting because that’s not the way I recall our experience.”
Rumors of Cattrall and Parker’s rocky relationship have long swirled among Hollywood insiders.
“There was a disparity between what Sarah got and what the other girls got,” Cattrall’s friend told Paula Froelich for an October exposé in The Post, headlined, “Inside the Mean Girls Culture that destroyed ‘Sex and the City.’ ”
“Everyone loved Kim’s character, people related to her — and [Kim’s] salary wasn’t showing that,” the friend said.
Reps for the actresses did not return requests for comment.
