Actress Cynthia Nixon, known as Miranda Hobbes in “Sex and the City,” one of the most iconic TV series in history, told in an interview with Page Six how she and her castmates were attacked when the show first aired in 1998.
“I feel like ‘Sex and the City’ is so rooted in memory and sentimentality now, but people hated us at the beginning,” Nixon recalls. “They would say over and over, ‘These aren’t real women, they’re gay men in disguise. Women don’t talk like this. Women don’t talk about sex this way.'”
Nixon, 58, noted that “Sex and the City” faced much criticism for its pioneering approach to showing women discussing all topics and revealed she loves the spin-off series “And Just Like That” because it does the same, breaking down societal norms with conversations and proactive stories.
For the actress, it’s important to continue sparking discussions; Nixon stated she thinks it’s great that the creators of “And Just Like That” continued to produce bold material despite criticism. “I think that’s what’s so great about the show, we keep pushing the boundaries”; “We’re not going to do the same things that used to be shocking and that you’re now used to.”
