The press tour has concluded, and the shock over the on-screen death of Chris Noth’s John James Preston has subsided, and what has risen is not what anyone has expected; Noth has been accused by numerous women of sexual assault, and according to US Weekly, the woman who brought Carrie Bradshaw to life, Sarah Jessica Parker, is absolutely “heartbroken” over the sudden turn of events. (Chris Noth has already gone on record with The Hollywood Reporter as denying these claims).
Parker and co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis released a joint statement regarding the allegations, saying in part “We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it much be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.” For her own part, Parker “takes the power of being Carrie Bradshaw very seriously. With great power comes great responsibility and although SJP knows this is about him, not her, she feels like she has let everyone down,” the source says, adding that Parker had “no idea” about the alleged incidents and feels “blindsided” as she “still processes what has happened” (according to US Weekly).
