Kristin Davis has publicly apologised to her Sex and the City co-star Bridget Moynahan, admitting that she wasn’t as kind as she should have been when they worked together on the hit HBO series.
Davis, best known for playing the polished and loyal Charlotte York, shared the confession during a recent appearance on the Are You A Charlotte? podcast. Reflecting on the early days of filming, the actress said she unintentionally allowed Charlotte’s worldview to shape how she treated Moynahan, who played Natasha, the glamorous wife of Mr. Big (Chris Noth).
She explained, “Normally, what I would do for guest star people, which were usually men, I would go and try to proactively be friendly, because it is such a scary situation.”
However, Davis admitted that when Moynahan joined the show as Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker’s) romantic rival, she found herself emotionally siding with her co-star’s character. “Because of who Natasha was, the ‘other woman’ in Carrie’s story, I think I internalised Charlotte’s worldview,” she said.
The actress continued, “I don’t think I was that nice to you. I feel really bad about that, Bridget.”
Thankfully, Moynahan, who has since reprised her role in And Just Like That, was quick to put Davis at ease. Laughing off the incident, she replied, “It’s OK now, don’t worry!”
Moynahan, known for her roles in Coyote Ugly and Blue Bloods, also recalled her initial confusion when Davis was suddenly warm and friendly years later. “We would run into each other at the gym all the time,” she said. “At first, I was like, ‘Why is she being so nice to me now?’”
Davis admitted that once filming was over, she felt more comfortable being herself rather than her character. “By then, we weren’t in our characters anymore, and I could just be a normal person,” she explained. “I was less forgiving if you were somebody that I felt like was threatening my friend.”
The heartfelt conversation offered fans a rare glimpse into the emotional dynamics behind the scenes of Sex and the City, one of television’s most iconic shows. The series, which ran from 1998 to 2004, chronicled the friendships, loves, and losses of four women navigating life and romance in New York City.
Natasha’s storyline, in which Carrie has an affair with her husband Mr. Big, became one of the most talked-about arcs in the show’s history, and one that clearly resonated deeply with the cast.
Fans have since praised Davis for her honesty and self-awareness, noting how her apology reflects the growth of both the actress and the character she made famous.
As And Just Like That continues to revisit beloved storylines and characters, it’s clear that the emotional legacy of Sex and the City remains as compelling off-screen as it was on.
