Sarah Jessica Parker opens up about Twitter feud
Sarah Jessica Parker is opening up about her recent feud with a woman who suggested the actress' twin daughters with husband Matthew Broderick are not biologically their children as they were born via surrogate.
In April (14), the Sex and the City star went on a fiery rant on Twitter.com after one of her followers, relationship expert and author Sarah Symonds, allegedly questioned the parentage of the actress' four-year-old daughters Marion and Tabitha.
Parker wrote, "I'm certain there isn't a woman on this planet who
would support your specific kind of cruelty. No apology, no
explanation... You should be ashamed... I hope more people join me
in voicing their objection to and holding accountable, uninformed
and unkind women like yourself who find pleasure and delight in
attacking other women."
Symonds subsequently deleted the post, but that only fueled
Parker's rage, as she added, "Your anonymity doesn't diminish your
outrageous and vulgar tweet. And your deletion only reveals your
cowardice."
Now, in an interview with fashion magazine The Edit, Parker calls
out Symonds for targeting her.
The actress says, "I don't think you can be like that without
thinking about what you are saying. Other people can be mean, and
that's something I just have to make peace with.
"I thought, 'Well, this isn't unhealthy paranoia, this is
absolutely conscious. This was a choice.' She, not subtly at all,
said that my children are not my children. There have been a few -
let's say half a dozen - times in my career when I have wanted to
respond. I don't want to encourage people picking on her, because
that's no better. But I wrote back, 'What? Like, is this fun?' She
never responded and deleted it."
"So I can't figure out what she hated so much about me that she did
that. And I just can't imagine anything lower than that... I can't
stand it when women say unfriendly things to other women. Why does
it have to be like that? Why do we go from I disagree with you to I
hate you, I attack you, I use words that I know are hurtful? And
we've never met!
"You'd think at this point in my life I would be accustomed to it,
but we keep finding new ways of expressing ourselves, new outlets
to be unfriendly and cruel."
