"Sex and the City" actress Sarah Jessica Parker would like fans of the female-driven series to know that she's sorry for leading them on.
Back in May, the 50-year-old star posted a photo in Instagram, sparking rumors that the movie's third offering could be in the works. It showed Sarah carrying a familiar Bloomingdale's brown bag captioned with a cryptic message. She appeared to exude her Carrie Bradshaw persona in the photo, leading fans to conclude that "Sex and the City 3" was happening.
"Oh my god. When I posted that picture and people were in a rage at me, I was shocked. They were convinced I had been taunting them," the actress said via Cosmopolitan. "I'm not that clever! And to what end would I relish dangling this idea and then saying there's no movie? I'm still finding people and being like, 'No @BoobityBopBeep! Why would I hurt you?' I've never been a mean girl," the actress added.
The teaser was, in fact, for her SJP shoe line, which is now on sale at Bloomingdale's, according to US Magazine. Warner Bros, the studio that owns "Sex and the City," has denied the rumors and said that the Instagram post was even remotely related to the movie, Express reports. In fact, they revealed that a third movie was never in development.
However, "Sex and the City" creator, Candace Bushnell, is not closing the doors permanently.
"I feel like we're going to revisit those characters, maybe in another movie or something, down the road," she said, according to Metro UK. Although the author also denied that part three is in the drawing board, she admitted that she would like to revisit the characters of her famous series at some point.
"Those characters are, in a way, part of the psyche of a certain generation of women. It's like the phenomenon of Friends. People really related to the characters in that show and it's the same thing with Sex and the City - we feel like those characters are our girlfriends," Bushnell added.
"Sex and the City" centered on the story of four modern women from New York, Carrie (Parker), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis).The show was a top-rating series on HBO from 1998 to 2004 and spawned two films after it was canceled. Fans saw the last of the four girls on the big screen in 2010.
