Kim Cattrall vs Sarah Jessica Parker: Andy Cohen Says It"s Not a Catfight
What began as a missing person"s case has ended in tragedy. Kim Cattrall"s brother has died at 55.
When Kim"s former costar, Sarah Jessica Parker, reached out with her condolences, Kim Cattrall shot her down.
As you can hear below, no one is more flabbergasted at this than Andy Cohen, who has waded into this feud to defend Sarah Jessica Parker.
After Sex and the City actress Kim Cattrall"s missing brother"s body was discovered, she shared the crushing news on Instagram.
Among the flurry of sympathetic responses was a comment from Sarah Jessica Parker.
"Dearest Kim, my love and condolensces to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother. xx"
Kim"s reply was … intense.
"I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker."
The message, a full post on Instagram, continued, and Kim Cattrall made herself every clear.
"Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend."
That"s … extremely harsh.
"So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona."
While Kim Cattrall is certainly grieving, the level of enmity here is palpable. And it"s also nothing new.
This is where Andy Cohen comes in, speaking on his SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy.
"I thought it was fake. I was like, ‘There’s no way Kim Cattrall has posted this on her Instagram.’ This is a women who is in the middle of grieving the loss of her brother, which is tragic and sad."
It is a crushing loss. But Kim really did post that on Instagram.
"She accused SJP of exploiting a tragedy … She follows Kim on Instagram, Kim posted about her brother dying, and she expressed her condolences on the post … She posted it in a comment!"
Posting it in a comment, which is quickly buried under other comments and doesn"t draw people to your own page, is generally seen as more respectful if you"re walking on eggshells and don"t want to be accused of exploiting a situation.
Andy Cohen goes on and continues to express his bewilderment.
"I would not call that ‘exploiting a tragedy.’ What was she supposed to do? Say something bad? I mean, I don’t understand."
Most people are lucky enough to not understand what Kim Cattrall is going through, but that doesn"t necessarily excuse an entire post dedicated to blasting a former friend over condolences.
"I also don’t like it that people are characterizing this as a catfight."
The way that Andy sees things, it takes two to tango, this thing — whatever it is — seems to be very one-sided.
"There’s only one person fighting here … I even kind of, admittedly, didn’t try to stir it up on Watch What Happens Live when Sarah was on, but I was like, ‘What do you think?’ Sarah only said the nicest things about her … It’s a catfight of one from where I see it."
Admittedly, we"re inclined to feel the same way as Andy does — rudeness and hostility on this level is shocking.
At the same time, if someone"s made it clear that they don"t want you in any way to be part of your life, it"s good to respect that, even if you find it hurtful or unfair.
Even so — one wonders what sorts of things people would say about Sarah Jessica Parker if it became known that she had said nothing about Kim"s loss. It"s a no-win situation.
Listen to the rest of Andy"s comments and decide for yourself if you agree with his characterizations.

Kim Cattrall Sends VERY Clear Message to Sarah Jessica Parker
Kim Cattrall was known on Sex and the City for portraying a character who always spoke her mind.
And it’s now evident that that the role of Samantha Jones was a bit of type-casting, considering the simple and direct share Cattrall just hurled in the direction of a former co-star.
In a very straightforward Instagram message shared on Saturday morning, for ex-HBO star addressed Sarah Jessica Parker, the former lead on the series that made both women very rich and very famous.
“My Mom asked me today “When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?” opened Cattrall on social media.
She then set her sights specifically on Parker and wrote:
“Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already):
“You are not my family. You are not my friend.
“So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
The bold up above is our own because thought these words required emphasis.
There had long been rumored tension between Cattrall and Parker, dating back to when the actress co-starred on Sex and the City the TV show.
They put aside their differences for many seasons, however, and then also through a pair of movies.
But everything blew up publicly last fall after Parker told Extra that a script had been penned for Sex and the City 3 and that everyone was on board to film…
… except for Cattrall.
She referred to this hold out as “disappointing.”
Cattrall then took exception to Parker taking her beef public, considering Kim says she was never, ever open to shooting another movie.
She held no bitter feeling. She even encouraged producers to find another actress for Samantha.
She had simply moved on — and here was Parker, taking her to task for simply making a personal and professional decision.
“At this very moment 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 Piers Morgan in an interview last October, adding of Parker in particular:
“And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, in that I think she could have been nicer.”
So it was obvious at that time that the stars weren’t very close.
But then Cattrall’s brother went missing and was eventually found dead.
In response to the tragedy, Parker wrote the following on Instagram:
Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother. Xx.
This appears to be the basis for Cattrall’s latest message.
She feels as though Parker wasn’t being sincere, pretending as if she and Cattrall were good friends when, in reality, they are anything but.
Wrote Cattrall shortly after she learned of her brother’s death:
“It is with great sadness that myself and my family announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother, Chris Cattrall.
“At this time we ask for privacy but we want to thank you all on social media for your outpouring of love and support in this trying time.”
Did Parker mean well with her Instagram reply to this confirmation?
Or was she exploiting the sad situation for PR sake, to make it look like she’s a caring individual when, according to Cattrall, there’s no relationship of any kind about which Parker should care.
It’s clear on which side of this debate Cattrall falls.
And it’s also now VERY clear that there will no Sex and the City 3, not with Cattrall as Jones at least.

Kim Cattrall Drags Sarah Jessica Parker Over Sex and the City 3
Ding! Ding! Ding!
It is totally on between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker.
For real this time.
Throughout the filming of Sex and the City the HBO television show and then Sex and the City, the two mediocre movies, there had always been chatter that these two actresses did not get along very well.
Which is fine.
Not all co-stars need to be best friends forever.
But the claws have now officially come out in the wake of Parker telling Extra that plans for a third film in the franchise have officially been scrapped.
“We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story,” she told the entertainment news outlet, adding:
“It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie.”
(Note: Have they, really?!? Sex and the City 2 has a score of 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.)
Amidst talk that Cattrall was the one to squash the follow-up flick due to various production demands, the veteran actress sat down with Piers Morgan on the program “Life Stories” to address any and all diva-related chatter.
Her general response?
I’ve never been on board for Sex and the City 3… and Parker sort of sucks!
“At this very moment 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, adding:
“And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, in that I think she could have been nicer.”
So there you have it.
After all this time, that’s the first admission from either Cattrall or Parker that they aren’t exactly on each other’s Christmas lists.
“I really think she could have been nicer,” Cattrall reiterated in her interview. “I don’t know what her issue is. I never have.”
Cattrall went on to explain that she was approached in December about the possibility of Sex and the City 3… and that it simply never appealed to her.
“This isn’t about more money, this is not about more scenes, it’s not about any of those things,” she said.
“This is about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life to end one chapter and start another. I’m 61. It’s now.”
Fair enough, right?
And it’s not as if Cattrall is even against a third movie. Go ahead and make it without me, she happily tells the cast and crew!
“I want them to make the movie, if that’s what they want to do,” she said.
“It’s a great part. I played it past the finish line and then some and I loved it, and another actress should play it. Maybe they could make it an African-American Samantha Jones or a Hispanic Samantha Jones?’
“I’ve moved on. This is what my 60s are about. They’re about me making decisions for me, not my career. For me.
“And that feels frickin’ fantastic.”

Aaron Carter"s Ex Madison Parker Throws Serious Shade His Way

Aaron Carter Ex Madison Parker: I Didn"t Split Because He"s Bisexual! I"m Not a Bigot!
Aaron Carter came out as bisexual and he also broke up with his girlfriend Madison Parker, and those were at just about the same time.
While Aaron’s been quick to thank fans for supporting him since he came out, it’s sounded an awful lot like Madison herself was less than supportive — and that she may have even broken up with him because of biphobia.
Madison’s making a statement, however, and she hopes to clear up any misconceptions.
In a statement to E!, Madison Parker claims that Aaron’s bisexuality and coming out wasn’t behind their split.
“My split with Aaron has nothing to do with him being bisexual. Our parting of ways is something that has been coming for some time and it’s the best thing for us both.”
That’s good to hear, at least.
“Some of my closest friends and loved ones are of the LGBTQ community, people I love and support wholeheartedly, so for Out.com or anyone to label me ‘homophobic’ is appalling and hurtful and couldn’t be more off character.”
We understand why she felt the need to speak up for herself.
“I’ve been nothing but supportive of Aaron and his career and I’m happy for him that he’s having the courage to live his truth.”
She’s still not calling him out for saying what he did about her, so maybe she’s still being supportive.
“Breaking up is never easy for anyone, but it is my hope that we can move on from this point as peacefully and respectfully as possible. I wish him all the best.”
So, let’s get into this:
In a moment, we’ll show you Aaron’s previous statement, which painted a different picture of their breakup.
First, though, while we’re not necessarily accusing Madison of anything, let’s go through that statement line by line.
We totally believe that their breakup was already in the works.
That’s usually the case with breakups, after all.
Saying that she has close friends who are LGBTQ and that therefore she couldn’t possibly be homophobic is … pretty close to someone saying that they can’t be racist because they have black friends, right?
Plus, there are (unfortunately) plenty of people who have zero shortage of close gay friends but who would be uncomfortable dating a bisexual person, which is definitely biphobic.
And they didn’t just make it up — their write-up had to be based on Aaron’s statement.
She’s definitely been super supportive of him and we don’t think that anyone’s questioning that.
Madison is talking as if various writers accusing her of biphobia came out of nowhere.
It did not.
While some (us included) wondered if that might be a factor when the news of their breakup first, well, broke, we also discussed the possibility that it might not be.
The belief that Madison broke up with Aaron Carter because he is bisexual or because he was ready to tell the world that he is bisexual came from Aaron Carter himself.
If you’ll recall, Aaron Carter had suggested in an interview that his coming out as bisexual played a role in their breakup.
“I had discussed it with my ex-girlfriend, and she didn’t really understand it and she didn’t want [to].”
That sounds so incredibly sad.
“And that was it. So, we left it mutual and parted ways.”
He later tweeted that their split was “very amicable,” but that … isn’t the same as saying that biphobia wasn’t involved.
You know, though Madison doesn’t really make a compelling argument for herself, we can totally see this as just an amicable breakup that coincided with Aaron’s coming out.
In fact, both of those events may have been brought on by the same life factors.
We just don’t know.
It’s also possible that Aaron misunderstood Madison’s reasons for breakup up with him, or described their breakup in a way that he didn’t mean to.
We want him to live his best life, don’t get us wrong, but he’s sometimes said worrisome and irrational things in the past.
But, let’s be clear: we’re so excited that Aaron’s come out and we’re hopeful that his life and overall well-being will only improve from here on out.
And unless we know that someone is bigoted, we’re not going to hop on the hate train with regard to Madison Parker or anybody else.

Aaron Carter: Madison Parker Broke Up With Me Because I"m Bisexual!
When we told you that it was over between Aaron Carter and Madison Parker, we mentioned that nobody’s statements said anything about Madison breaking up with him because he’d just come out as bisexual.
It’s easy to see a connection and jump to a conclusion and assume that there was bigotry involved, but you don’t want to slam somebody before you have all of the facts.
But according to Aaron Carter’s new interview … we know exactly why Madison broke up with him.
Between coming out and getting arrested, Aaron’s had a busy year — but that means interviews.
In a new interview on The Bert Show, Aaron Carter says that Madison Parker broke up with him over his bisexuality.
That’s heartbreaking to hear.
“I had discussed it with my ex-girlfriend, and she didn’t really understand it and she didn’t want [to].”
Aaron doesn’t call her out for being a bigot, but … we don’t know how else to characterize someone breaking up with their lover because they find out that they’re bi.
Aaron’s coming out wasn’t about looking to, I don’t know, get a dude as a side ho for his relationship with Madison.
He’s admitting what many people have suspected for a long time — that he’s also attracted to men — so that he can live openly and honestly as himself.
If Madison had a problem with who Aaron is, then good riddance.
Aaron says it a lot nicer than he necessarily needs to.
“And that was it. So we left it mutual and parted ways.”
Whatever the gender of his next partner, we hope that they’re not bigoted and are interested in Aaron Carter for who he is.
(Unfortunately, as comments about Aaron when he came out remind us, there are sadly some gay people who are just as bigoted towards bisexuals as certain straight people, so bi folks can experience the worst of both worlds)
Aaron talks about his life now and what he plans next.
“I’m a single guy again, recently came out as bisexual, so that’s who I am. And I’m just taking it one minute, and one day, and one comment at a time.”
That’s smart, of course.
Just because he only recently came out doesn’t mean that he necessarily wants to dive into a relationship with a guy.
Mainly, we imagine, because he just got out of a lengthy relationship and he’s going to need some time to heal.
When he says “one comment at a time,” he’s reminding us that he sees a lot of vile things in his mentions.
Most celebrities do, but Aaron, we think, is more inclined to read his comments and also more inclined to feel hurt by them.
Nevertheless, Aaron actually sounds pretty optimistic.
“All I can say is that I’m really looking forward to the future right now, and whether I choose to be with a man or a woman is my decision, and no one else’s.”
He is, of course, absolutely right.
He might get pressure from well-meaning LGBT fans who want to see him live openly in a same-sex relationship.
He might get pressure from, well, ill-intentioned fans who don’t want to see him with a man, ever.
(And perhaps from some lady fans who only want to see him with women because they want to imagine themselves dating him)
What all of his fans — and the rest of us — should want is for him to be happy.
So he should date someone who makes him happy, relationship-wise.
(True happiness comes from within, we know, but relationships can help)
As we mentioned, Aaron knew from the time that he was 12 that he was attracted to both men and women.
Aaron talks about why he finally came out at 29, even though he’d first had a “small” relationship with another guy when he was 17.
“It was something that I just felt like was important and I needed to say. It was a part of a new chapter of turning 30, on December 7 this year.”
We’re guessing that, so recently after he’d admitted to having an eating disorder, Aaron felt that there was no time like the present to be honest with his fans.
To be clear — nobody, celebrities or otherwise, ever has to come out.
Coming out can impact careers, sever relationships, and radically change a person’s life.
Usually it’s for the better, but as Thomas Dekker recently mentioned, everybody gets to make that choice of when and how to come out for themselves.
Aaron Carter spoke some more about coming out.
“The process is at your own pace and when you feel comfortable.”
He’s absolutely right, though few people feel totally comfortable coming out at that moment.
“There might be a lot of people who don’t agree with it, but you might be surprised by the people who do.”
Despite folks who seem to think that passing marriage equality ended anti-LGBT bigotry, there are bigots everywhere, and we don’t just mean in Congress or the currently orange-tinted White House.
We’re glad that Aaron received some pleasant surprises.
“I was shocked. I was blown away. My fans know that I’m a heart on the sleeve kinda guy. That’s the way I am.”
That’s great.
Aaron’s needed some good news, you know?

Aaron Carter Splits from Madison Parker, Shares Shirtless Selfie!
Aaron Carter has come out as bisexual, leaving some fans surprised and others saying “finally!”
But that’s not the only big news that he’s had, because he’s also ended his relationship with girlfriend Madison Parker. His rep made a statement about their split.
Every step of the way, Aaron’s been reaching out to thank his fans and supporters over social media. He even thanked them with a photo and he’s suddenly looking a lot better than he had been.
Aaron and Madison met through Instagram, which isn’t usually the social media platform where you’d imagine that people would meet, and they hit it off.
But now they’ve broken up.
In a statement to E!, Aaron Carter’s rep shared confirmed that Aaron Carter and Madison Parker broke up.
“Aaron and Madison love each other and respect one another dearly.”
That’s always good for a breakup, though … reps aren’t usually going to say anything negative anyway.
“It was a mutual decision and Aaron’s personal statement released speaks for itself.”
Aaron’s personal statement, of course, was his coming out as bisexual — his rep didn’t feel a need to speak over their client.
“Now back to the music.”
It’s easy to forget that Aaron Carter is still passionate about music, but he is.
Aaron shared this shirtless selfie, and we have to say that he’s looking way, way better here than he was in his mug shot.
Obviously he played around with shading a little, but he still looks good here.
He tweeted out the photo and captioned it:
“Goodnight world. Your #LøVë and support means everything to me. [hands touching as a high five or prayer emoji] I adore all my fans. Never forget that.”
Aaron’s been more than diligent about being grateful for the continued support of his fans.
He’s had a rough go of many things over the course of his life.
He’s had to deal with countless expectations from a very young age.
(Don’t even get me started on his and Nick’s parents, ugh)
Even as disappointing as some of his irrational statements and troubling actions have been, we still think that he’s come out of fame better than Bieber.
Better as a person, anyway.
Aaron’s confession that he’s bisexual wasn’t that much of a surprise to people who’ve heard multiple rumors about him (or some past statements that he’d made that suggested as much).
And, frankly, it wasn’t a surprise to anyone with gaydar, which totally works for bi folks.
(I remember being shocked when Anderson Cooper came out because I hadn’t known that he was closeted before that, whoops)
As important as LGBT representation is among celebrities and in fictional media, there’s something called bisexual erasure where people get branded as gay when they’ve made it explicitly clear that they’re bi.
Twitter was full of those folks after Aaron’s big announcement.
Just think of how many people refer to Kristen Stewart as a lesbian when she’s had male lovers and even recently spoken about the possibility of dating men again.
Some will doubtless speculate that Aaron’s decision to come out as bi was behind his split from Madison, and that could technically be the case … but let’s not go accusing her of being some raging biphobe.
It may be that, when they decided to break up, Aaron figured that he might as well come out with it.
Many fans have expressed hope that his mental and emotional well-being will improve now that he’s no longer closeted.
Aaron Carter’s had a rough go of it.
He’s estimated to be a couple of million dollars in debt with very little money to his name.
He also has a hernia which he says makes it difficult for him to put on any body weight.
But he also recently confessed that he has an eating disorder, which is always tragic.
Maybe, as we mentioned that his fans have been hoping, his coming out — no longer weighed under the burden of being closeted — will be a step in the right direction towards him having a better life.
If he can address his eating disorder, which can be even harder to do for those who aren’t rich, that could really help transform his life.
Coping skills can do wonders, which could help him with his music and his efforts to turn things around.
Maybe he’ll even stop lashing out at “fake support” when someone who cares about him reaches out.
We really do wish him the best.
