Kristin Davis has a complicated relationship with seeing herself at the start of “Sex and the City” 25 years ago.

We have enough problems as it is. We don’t need to shame each other. Like, it’s so much a waste of time, but it does hurt.” The Max star, who is preparing for the season 2 premiere of “And Just Like That” on June 22, adds that she doesn’t see the purpose in shaming other women. “We’re doing the best we can do.
