KIM Cattrall has branded her Sex And The City co-stars as ‘toxic’ after she was accused of bringing production of the third film to a halt.
The 61-year-old actress - who starred as Samantha Jones in the hit TV show and two subsequent movies – opened up about the drama speaking to Piers Morgan for his ITV show Life Stories.
According to the Kim said she no idea when she last spoke to her co-stars and no one has contacted her about the reports she held up filming.
She said: “And that's another thing that's really disappointing is that nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, 'how you doing?' That would have been the way to handle it.
“And usually what happens in a healthy relationship is that someone, or a transaction for a job in my business, is that someone says, 'are you available?' and you say 'yes' and here's the job and you say 'yes but thank you very much but I'm sort of over here right now but thank you very much' and that person turns to you and they say 'that's great, good luck to you, I wish you the best.' “
Making her feelings very clear, she added: “That's not what happened here, this is, it feels like a toxic relationship.”
The actress went on to say that she thought Sarah Jessica Parker should have stuck up for her rather than failing to mention the demand speculation.
She said: “And now, now at this very moment it’s quite extraordinary to get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva.
“And this is really where I take to task the people from ‘Sex And The City’ and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker in that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer.”
However despite the drama over the third instalment of the film, Kim says she doesn't rule out a chance of reconciliation but once again reiterated that she never agreed to star in a third movie.
It comes just hours after her one-time co-star Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed that the characters would never return on screen.
The 52-year-old leading lady made the confession on the red carpet of the New York City Ballet Gala on Thursday night alongside her husband Matthew Broderick.
When asked by Extra what lay in store for her character Carrie Bradshaw and her gal pals, Sarah said: "It's over. We're not doing it."
Revealing that a script had even been written for the next film, Sarah added: "I'm disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story."
She added that she was aware for the demand from die-hard fans to see Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda to return.
But had reported Kim caused production to come to a screeching halt - something which she has no denied.
She reportedly demanded Warner Bros, who make Sex and the City, produce a series of other movies in exchange for her taking part, and they refused.
It comes after Sarah and her two other co-stars, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, had apparently all signed up for the same upfront fee in order to have one more outing as the loveable and lustful Manhattan socialites.
A source told the paper that Kim is the "only reason" the new instalment isn't going ahead, and scathed: "This franchise made her and let's be frank, it's all she is really known for.
"Cast and crew don't just show up to make a movie, they have to rearrange their lives.
"People turned down other jobs, were in the process of relocating to New York but she kept stalling and was always unavailable when answers from her were needed."
