What wage differences are there? COLD CASH
It’s long been reported that Sarah earned a much higher salary than her co-stars during her time on the show — which eventually led to the series going off the air in 2004.
In a 2004 interview on the pay gap, “After six years, I felt it was time for us all to share in the financial fortunes of Sex and the City…”
“When they didn’t seem to want to do that, I thought it was time to move on.”
Four years after the series ended, it was reported that Kim was furious over Sarah Jessica’s title as executive producer in the second season, which increased her salary to $300,000.
Upon learning of this, Kim reportedly tried to negotiate a higher salary – which was met with outrage as it was claimed the other stars “won’t even sit with her for dinner”.
It was also pointed out that Kim didn’t sit at the Emmys with the other actresses in 2004 — to which she said, “Are we best friends?” No. We are professional actresses. We have our own separate lives.’
Of their friendship, Kim told Piers Morgan: We were never friends – we were colleagues. And in a way it’s a very healthy place because you have a clear boundary between your professional life and also your personal life.”

“When’s that coming, Sarah Jessica Parker?”. . leave you alone?’ THE DEATH OF KIM’S BROTHER
Kim’s public digs at Sarah Jessica were numerous, but an unexpected reaction followed the tragic death of her brother Chris.
In February 2018, 55-year-old Chris went missing after leaving the house unlocked without his phone and wallet, prompting Kim to ask for information.
It was with a heavy heart that she then confirmed that he was found dead near his home in Alberta, Canada. No further details were given, but it was noted that police “had no reason to believe anything suspicious was involved in his death.”

She added a caption to the shot addressed to Sarah, which read, “My mom asked me today, ‘When will this hypocrite leave you alone?'” Your continued outreach 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’re not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop taking advantage of our tragedy to restore your “nice girl” personality.
‘That’s a no from me’: Kim’s vows to avoid and just because…
In 2019, And Just Like That rumors began, with Samantha’s presence causing widespread rumors before it was revealed that Kim refused to be a part due to unrest behind the scenes.
The first season of the new incarnation of the series, renamed And Just Like That, ran for ten episodes on HBO in 2021 and the new series is returning soon.
In 2019, Casey Bloys, the network’s chief content officer, said of Samantha’s exit, “Just like in real life, people come into your life, others go.” “Friendships fade and new friendships begin.”

Kim explained why she wouldn’t be returning in 2019: “That’s a ‘no’ from me.” “You learn lessons in life and my lesson is to work with good people and try to make it fun.”
Even SJP has claimed she doesn’t want Kim back — when asked by Variety in a 2022 interview if she’d be “OK” if Kim was able to return to the show if, after their very public feud, one “miracles should happen”. exploded back in 2018.
Parker replied, “I don’t think I would because I think there’s just too much public sentiment of hers that she’s shared.” I haven’t participated in articles or read them, although people are inclined to let me know.”
“We didn’t go to Kim about that, you know,” Parker said. “After we didn’t do the film and the studio couldn’t fulfill what she wanted, we have to listen to her and listen to what was important to her.”
“It didn’t fit what was important or necessary to us.” “There’s a very clear line between Samantha and Kim,” Parker continued.
