Sarah Jessica Parker reacts to fans hate-watching ‘And Just Like That’



SJP is ignoring the haters.

In a new interview with the New York Times after the “And Just Like That” series finale, Sarah Jessica Parker revealed how she feels about the viewers who hate-watch the “Sex and the City” reboot.

“I don’t think I have the constitution to have spent a lot of time thinking about that,” she said. “We always worked incredibly hard to tell stories that were interesting or real.”

“I guess I don’t really care,” Parker, 60, continued. “And the reason I don’t care is because it has been so enormously successful, and the connections it has made with audiences have been very meaningful.”

The story of Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw began when “Sex and the City” premiered in 1998 and ended with last week’s “AJLT” Season 3 finale, which saw the sex columnist finally find peace with being single.

The finale and the series as a whole were trashed by both fans and critics for being woke and cringeworthy.

Parker, however, told the NYT that she’s satisfied with Carrie’s ending.

“I feel good about her. I think she’s set up pretty well,” the actress shared.

In an interview with People before the finale, Parker revealed that she “never” looks at fans’ online reactions to the HBO series.

“I think you’re going to perhaps read things or hear things that don’t always feel great,” she said. “When you’re part of a community, people are going to have a lot of feelings. And it doesn’t mean that a feeling can’t change, it’s a reaction. We want very much for people to have all those feelings, and it’s not for us to police or try to correct them.”

“So I’m a very inexperienced troller or a sneaker around-er,” Parker added, “because I think that conversation is better left not in any way witnessed or babysat by me.”

Parker and showrunner Michael Patrick King announced that “AJLT” was ending after three seasons on Aug. 1, just two weeks before the series finale aired.

“Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years,” Parker wrote on Instagram. “I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her.”

Costume designer Molly Rogers, who worked on “AJLT” as well as “Sex and the City” and the “SATC” movies, recently told The Post she was never officially told the franchise was over.

“It wasn’t like HBO sent an email saying, ‘pack your bags,’” Rogers revealed.

“I think that’s the only way these days to keep something a secret. Total blackout,” she added.

“And Just Like That” is streaming on HBO Max.
