Big Movie Star Harassed Sarah Jessica Parker

July 8, 2019 Blind Gossip

[NPR] BG Note: Sarah Jessica Parker recently did an interview on NPR where she discussed her discomfort and shock at the inappropriate behavior of a big movie star during filming.

On how the #MeToo movement made her reassess experiences she’s had with men in her career

It really wasn’t, I would say, until about six or eight months ago that I started recognizing countless experiences of men behaving poorly, inappropriately, and all the ways that I had made it possible to keep coming to work or to remain on set, or to simply… just push it down, push it away, find a little space for it and move on.

[I] really just didn’t allow it to consume me. To be honest, I don’t know why I either wasn’t courageous or more destroyed by some of the things that I was privy to, that I was on the receiving end of.

On how she handled working with a big movie star who was behaving inappropriately

I think no matter how evolved or how modern I thought I was … I didn’t feel entirely in a position — no matter what my role was on set — I didn’t feel as powerful as the man who was behaving inappropriately, which … strikes me as just stunning to say out loud, because there were plenty of occasions where it was happening and I was in a different position and I was as powerful. I mean, I had every right to say, “This is inappropriate.” I could have felt safe in going to a superior.

And, in fact, I will say, when there was a situation with somebody and I did go to my agent — because I felt I was no longer able to convey how uncomfortable this was making me, how inappropriate it was… within hours everything had changed.

He said to them, “If this continues, I have sent her a ticket, a one-way ticket out of this city” — where I was shooting — “and she will not be returning.”

    No idea of actor and project. I would have called my agent and have them handle it. The producer and director could be just as bad as the offender in light of how pervasive this behavior is in Hollywood.

    I feel like this is Bruce Willis or Gene Hackman. Possibly Jack Nicholson. SJP was in lots of bad big budget 90s movies before she was on SATC. Has to be someone kind of old too. Could also be James Caan but I refuse to believe that because of his performance in Elf.

    I would have called my agent. Unfortunately for SJP she wasn’t box office or cable box gold at that point.

    This reads Vince Vaughn to me. He wasn’t a major movie star when he was on SATC but was on his way. He seems like he would be very gauche.

    Matthew mcconnaughey or however you spell it.

    He guest starred on sex and the city in an earlier season where she had to fly out to LA to meet with him so she was shooting there instead of NYC.

    He’s an absolute dog that is always hitting on young girls even while married so I wouldn’t be surprised to find out this was him.

  33. charlene2345 says

    July 8, 2019 at 11:15 am

    I’m going to say the actor is Matthew mcconaughey, when he did a guest-spot on Sex and the City.

    SATC wasn’t usually shot in a city outside of New York, but there were a few episodes shot in LA and McConaughey played himself on the show. That was in the early 2000s, when McConaughey was better known for playing stoners and party boys, and long before he had an Oscar. He must have improved his behavior since she worked with him again in “Failure to Launch” a few years later.

      I do not believe a word of this ‘story’. Take a walk around NYC. there are stunning beautiful women there. SJP is rather unfortunate looking and no way any man with even a modicum of success would be into that when there is basically a buffet of beauty all over that city he would have access to. Sounds to me like she is trying to get some press. Besides? Kim was the real beauty on that show and she would have been the target.
