catfight” to a purr-fect end. Sarah Jessica Parker claims her alleged friction with Kim Cattrall, 65, is nothing more than a “very painful,” one-sided beef that’s been singlehandedly cooked up by her ex-“Sex and the City” co-star. “It’s very hard to talk about the situation with Kim,” Parker, 57, explained on the Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast Wednesday.“It’s so painful for people to keep talking about this ‘catfight’ — a ‘fight,’ a ‘fight,’ a ‘fight.’ I’ve never uttered fighting words in my life about anybody that I’ve worked with — ever,” the “And Just Like That” icon added. “There is not a ‘fight’ going on.

There has been no public dispute or spat or conversations or allegations made by me or anybody on my behalf. I wouldn’t do it … There has been one person talking,” she continued.Parker then unearthed what she said was the root of the rumored contentions between her and Cattrall, pointing to the collapse of what would have been the third feature film adaptation of “SATC” in 2017. “[Warner Bros.] didn’t feel comfortable meeting where she wanted to meet, and so we didn’t do the movie because we didn’t want to do it without Kim,” Parker explained, adding that “it fell apart.” However, that seemingly contradicts Cattrall’s assertion — in a Variety interview earlier this year — that Cattrall already felt she was “done” with the franchise after the second movie.She also suggested that Cattrall’s alleged contractual demands derailed production.
