Sarah Jessica Parker has contradicted claims made by her Sex And The City co-star Kim Cattrall that she had 'no intention' of returning as Samantha in the third spin-off movie.
Last month, Kim, 65, revealed to Variety she had decided not to take part in the planned film after seeing her character's lack of progression, and said co-stars Sarah, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis 'aren't my friends.'
And now, Sarah, 57, has opened up for the first time about their alleged feud, claiming that it was not Kim who turned down the movie, but the studio, because they could not accept her 'demands.'

Speaking candidly to Awards Chatter podcast, the actress, who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the franchise, said 'it's very hard' to talk about the situation.
'I've been so careful about not ever wanting to say anything that is unpleasant because it's not the way I like to conduct conversations that are as complicated as this.
'The studio, when we were going to do the third movie, there were things that she requested that they were not able to do - they didn't feel comfortable meeting where she wanted to meet.

'I've spent a lot of years working really hard to always be decent to everybody on the set, to take care of people, to be responsible to and for people, both my employers and the people that I feel I'm responsible for as a producer of the show.'
