Some “Sex and the City” fans are incensed that Kim Cattrall will not be returning to this popular cable show, and they are taking out their anger on newcomer Nicole Ari Parker.
A certain percentage of fans believe that Parker is Cattrall’s replacement, a sentiment she adamantly wants to squash.
“When it first came out that I was replacing the Samantha character — which is not true at all, so please write that — I have been yelled at,” Parker, 51, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Cattrall, 65, revealed in recent years that she had a bitter feud with some of the cast members, particularly the lead character Sara Jessica Parker, 56, and that there was no chance she would come back for the spin-off.
Not all fans have treated Parker like a villain, however. Some who have yelled in Parker’s direction have also given their blessing to the “Soul Food” alum.
“I’ve been photographed in places I should never be photographed,” she shared. “The fans are so excited and over the top. I had some idea of that because I am one of those fans but I had no idea [of the extent of it].”
“Sex and the City” will debut on HBO Max in December 2021.
