In a recent interview, Sarah Jessica Parker addressed the backlash faced by her character, Carrie Bradshaw, from 'Sex and the City' and its reboot. She criticized the societal double standards that affect perceptions of male and female TV characters, stating that while male characters often escape serious criticism for poor behavior, female characters like Carrie are heavily scrutinized. Parker affirmed Carrie's humanity, admitting she has made mistakes, but emphasized her character's goodness and complexity. She expressed desire to stay away from ongoing controversies surrounding Carrie.
It's always interesting to me that [Carrie is] so condemned, but a male lead on a show can be a murderer, and people love him.
I think, fundamentally, Carrie is an extraordinarily decent and good person - an extremely devoted friend, she's generous of spirit and time, in all she has to offer.
