Sarah Jessica Parker addresses criticism over Carrie’s delay in calling 911 for Mr Big

Sarah Jessica Parker has addressed fan criticism over her character Carrie Bradshaw’s delay in calling 911 after the death of Mr Big in And Just Like That.

In the Sex and the City reboot, Carrie's longtime love John James Preston, otherwise known as Mr Big, dies after suffering a heart attack following a Peloton ride.

During a recent interview, Parker explained why she does not view the moment as controversial.
