Sarah Jessica Parker 'heartbroken' after Kim Cattrall's Sex and the City snub

Sarah Jessica Parker still feels "just heartbroken" after being snubbed by her Sex and the City co-star Kim Cattrall, the actress said yesterday.

Cattrall made headlines in October when she said she had "never been friends", merely "colleagues", with the cast of the hit HBO series, which ran from 1998 to 2004. 

The 61-year-old actress, who has previously described the stars' relationship as "toxic", said she had been wrongly portrayed as a "diva" in the media. Cattrall told Piers Morgan she wanted to "take to task the people from Sex and the City – and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker," adding, "I really think [Parker] could have been nicer." 

Parker, 52, yesterday told interviewer Andy Cohen that she found Cattrall's comments "upsetting", in an appearance on US channel Bravo.

“I found it very upsetting because that’s not the way I recall our experience," she said. "It’s sad, but I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience... It was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives, so I’m hoping that that eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken."

She continued: "That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with, it is such a privilege."

Parker and Cattrall appeared together in two Sex and the City films, released in 2008 and 2010, but Cattrall has said she would be unwilling to revisit the franchise for a third film.
