Sarah Jessica Parker Reported a 'Big Movie Star' for Inappropriate Behavior on 'Sex & The City' Set

Sarah Jessica Parker is reflecting on #MeToo and Sex & The City.

The 54-year-old actress spoke out in an interview on NPR’s Fresh Air.

“I think no matter how evolved or how modern I thought I was…I didn’t feel entirely in a position — no matter what my role was on set — I didn’t feel as powerful as the man who was behaving inappropriately, which…strikes me as just stunning to say out loud, because there were plenty of occasions where it was happening and I was in a different position and I was as powerful. I mean, I had every right to say, ‘This is inappropriate.’ I could have felt safe in going to a superior,” she reflected on her time while filming Sex & The City.

“And, in fact, I will say, when there was a situation with somebody and I did go to my agent — because I felt I was no longer able to convey how uncomfortable this was making me, how inappropriate it was…within hours everything had changed…He said to them, ‘If this continues, I have sent her a ticket, a one-way ticket out of this city’ — where I was shooting — ‘and she will not be returning.’”
