Sarah Jessica Parker reacts to 'misogynist chatter' she has faced for 'Sex and the City' reboot

And just like that, Sarah Jessica Parker is back in the thick of mainstream pop culture discourse.  

And Just Like That..., of course, is the title of HBO Max's Sex and the City 10-episode limited series revival series that finds Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) back in New York City "as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s."

While the reboot has an overwhelmingly positive anticipation surrounding it, SPJ addressed in a new Vogue profile the negative backlash associated with her and her costars' appearances:

"There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man. ‘Gray hair gray hair gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’ 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! Especially on social media. Everyone has something to say. ‘She has too many wrinkles, she doesn’t have enough wrinkles.’ It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly okay with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better. I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”

Elsewhere in the profile, the two-time Emmy winner shared that she "kept every single solitary thing" of Carrie's from the original SATC series. "I had all of the original stuff in my own storage," she said. "Furniture, clothes, everything, packed according to season and episode and scene."

SATC ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004 on HBO, with two feature-length films to follow in '08 and '10. As for what to expect from And Just Like That..., fans will have to wait until it begins streaming in December.

"I'm not going to tell you because I also wouldn’t tell you what I got you for Christmas," Michael Patrick King, the reboot's showrunner, told Vogue. "You can see the package, and it’s gorgeous. Why would I ruin the surprise?"
