Kim Cattrall’s response to Cynthia Nixon was very different to her message to Sarah Jessica Parker

Actress thanks her Sex and the City co-star's call after the sudden death of her brother

Kim Cattrall responded rather differently to her former Sex and the City co-star Cynthia Nixon's well-wishes than Sarah Jessica Parker's.

Following the sudden death of Cattrall's brother, Parker posted on social media: "Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother. Xx."

Cattrall rejected Parker's message, accusing her of "exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."

In contrast she wrote, in a rather different tone beneath her initial post thanking fans, friends and Sex and the City colleagues: "Cynthia, hearing your voice meant so much to me. Thank you for reaching out. Love Kim #SexandtheCity."

It appears that Nixon may have called Cattrall rather than posting on her social media, which is how Parker chose to express her thoughts.

Last year in an interview Cattrall had commented on how little she spoke with her co-stars, explaining: "Another thing that's really disappointing is that nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, 'how are you doing?' That would have been the way to handle it."

In an Instagram post responding to Parker's post sending her condolences Cattrall also linked to a New York Post article about the "Mean Girls culture" which reportedly destroyed the Sex and the City franchise.

The article detailed how Cattrall had been portrayed as a diva to fans waiting for the film adaptations of the popular TV series, when in fact she was allegedly shut out by her three main co-stars - in particular by Parker who was accused of being jealous of Cattrall's scene-stealing talent.
