SJP Fires Back at Hate-Watchers After ‘And Just Like That’ Finale Fiasco
Kai Montgomery here, grumbling through another round of celebrity chaos like it’s my job—because apparently, it is. And just when you thought the drama had cooled down, Sarah Jessica Parker drops a mic on the haters with zero apologies. In a recent interview with the New York Times, the iconic Carrie Bradshaw herself laid bare her feelings about the internet’s relentless hate-watching of And Just Like That, and let’s just say she didn’t hold back—well, not in words, anyway. “I don’t think I have the constitution to have spent a lot of time thinking about that,” she deadpanned, as if the idea of engaging with online trolls were about as appealing as watching paint dry. But hey, at least she’s honest.
The series finale, which wrapped up Season 3 last week, saw Carrie finally embracing solitude—yes, *single*, after decades of romantic chaos. It was supposed to be a cathartic close, but instead, fans and critics alike pounced on the ending like it was a buffet they weren’t invited to. The verdict? Woke, cringey, and out of touch. Yet SJP, 60, remains unfazed. “I feel good about her. I think she’s set up pretty well,” she said, clearly not sweating the backlash. Because let’s face it—she’s been carrying this character for 27 years. Since 1998, when the original Sex and the City premiered, Carrie has been her emotional anchor, her creative heartbeat, and now, her legacy. “Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years,” she wrote on Instagram, adding, “I think I have loved her most of all.”
And while some viewers are still reeling from the reboot’s tonal shifts and controversial storylines, Parker insists the show’s impact goes beyond the likes and dislikes. “The connections it has made with audiences have been very meaningful,” she noted—proof that even if the critics aren’t buying it, millions of fans are. She also admitted she never checks fan reactions online. “I think you’re going to perhaps read things or hear things that don’t always feel great,” she said, before dropping the ultimate truth bomb: “It’s not for us to police or try to correct them.” So no, she’s not lurking in the comments section, nor does she plan to. “I’m a very inexperienced troller or a sneaker around-er,” she joked, “because I think that conversation is better left not in any way witnessed or babysat by me.”
And speaking of conversations… Costume designer Molly Rogers revealed in a separate interview with The Post that she wasn’t even told the franchise was ending until after the finale aired. “It wasn’t like HBO sent an email saying, ‘pack your bags,’” she said, calling the secrecy “total blackout.” So much for a graceful exit. But then again, maybe that’s fitting—this whole saga has felt more like a chaotic love letter than a planned finale.
So what’s next? Well, the final season is streaming on HBO Max, and whether you’re team Carrie or team “why did we do this,” one thing’s certain: the conversation isn’t over. Not even close.
Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so.
