Sarah Jessica Parker Rips 'Misogynist' Trolls Who Criticize 'Sex And The City' Cast Getting Older

Sarah Jessica Parker Rips 'Misogynist' Trolls Who Criticize 'Sex And The City' Cast Getting Older

In a new interview, actress Sarah Jessica Parker is hitting back at trolls who have been criticizing her and her Sex and the City castmates for daring to get older.

Speaking with Vogue, Parker described the ageism and misogyny that has been a part of the discourse since practically the moment And Just Like That...—HBO's revival of the iconic series—was announced earlier this year.



 

Parker, 56, and her costars Kristen Davis, also 56, and Cynthia Nixon, 55, were all in their early 30s when Sex and the City premiered back in 1998. A lot happens in 23 years, of course—namely aging.

It comes for all of us!

But And Just Like That... is no nostalgia trip—it picks up with the women's characters as they are today, in their mid-50s. Nevertheless, there has been no shortage of predictable online sniping about the women's appearances—and Parker has had it.

Especially since, as she told Vogue's Naomi Fry, older male stars practically never deal with this sort of criticism.

"There's so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man."

Case in point?

The viral discourse about her gray hair that ensued when she was recently photographed having a meal with Bravo host Andy Cohen who has gone quite gray himself, but didn't seem to attract the internet's ire.

"I'm sitting with Andy Cohen and he has a full head of gray hair, and he's exquisite. Why is it okay for him? I don't know what to tell you people!"

She went on to describe what feels like an unwinnable catch-22 for women of a certain age.

They get criticized "whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something that makes you feel better" like plastic surgery, for example.

Laying her exasperation bare, Parker concluded:

"I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?"

Parker's collaborator Michael Patrick King, who served as showrunner of the latter half of the original series and returns to that post for the reboot, added our culture seems to accept very young women or very old women and nothing in between.

"...[O]ne bitchy response online was people sharing pictures of the Golden Girls. And I was like, 'Wow, so it's either you're 35, or you're retired and living in Florida. There's a missing chapter here.'" 

On Twitter, many people applauded Parker's candor about the ageism and misogyny she's faced.

Tearful Alex Jones Says He's Gonna 'Throw Up' After Pam Bondi Now Claims There's No 'Epstein List'

InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was openly tearful after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that the so-called Epstein files—documents related to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein rumored to contain the names of Epstein's most high-profile enablers—do not exist.

The claim that Epstein had no list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked marks a public reversal of a theory previously amplified by the Trump administration. Earlier this year, Bondi had suggested in a Fox News interview that such a document existed and was “sitting on my desk” awaiting release.

Meteorologist Speaks Out After Getting Hate For Saying 'Gulf Of America' And 'Gulf Of Mexico' During Forecast

Some people do not enjoy politics. Whether it's discussing politics or even staying current on politically-charged subjects, they would just as soon ... not. Though they might think that staying out of it is helpful, it's actually a sign of complacency and speaks volumes about a person's privilege.

Ironically, only those who are not directly impacted by a political movement can go without staying educated and having an opinion on the subject, but it's exactly those people who should be working on behalf of those being targeted.
