It seems like everything has already been on her terms. It’s too bad that she couldn’t work her little food out with SJP but I don’t really miss her on the new series and just like that.

[@darioperes8923]

Samantha made the show! I miss her on the new one because it’s so dull. It’s not funny! Carrie is exhausting!! We hardly ever see them together. Che is tiring, Nya is forgettable, can’t stand Anthony, and what happened to Miranda and Charlotte???? It’s like they had a lobotomy!!! The only one I like is Seema. The show has no plot whatsoever! There’s isn’t a story to be told here. People will watch it of course but they’re not going to remember it.

What I do appreciate about Kim is that she’s not willing to be shamed or bullied about not participating in and just like that and she wasn’t blackballed in the industry the way she could’ve been. She knows her talent. She never talked I’ll about the show bcuz I feel she had respect for the fans who loved the iconic character of Samantha. But she just shared her personal experience with the costars. As a satc fan, I can truly respect that. She knows her worth and shows up like that. Kim is such a class act.

Me too! I loved the idea of spending the night at the mall as a kid lol! Great 80s film! Loved her ever since and Samantha was an amazing role for her! Hope she’s able to find more interest in reprising the role for a third season of the new show because I think it can be meaningful for a mature female audience who watched SATC and can’t believe it was 25 years ago.

[@KiLovely]

Looove her!!! Kim further proves that she is the true star out of that Sex & the City cast. Everyone is super excited to watch her reprise the role of Samantha, and she did it for her fans. Such a classy woman, I will definitely watch Glamourous and About My Father.

Not to wanna bring any beef back but she comes through as such a class and honest act that it’s hard not to root for her. Also how different she really is from Samantha is really a testament to talent as an actress.
