Kristin Davis Reveals The ‘Sex and the City’ Scene That Makes Her Cringe

Kristin Davis might have played the picture-perfect Charlotte York in the series “Sex and the City,” but behind the polished image, there was a moment that still makes her shudder.

In a March 7 episode of Davis’ podcast “Are You a Charlotte?” the actor opened up about a scene she couldn’t quite swallow — no pun intended.

“I mean, in the show, this is going to sound ridiculous, but in the show, this is so silly and probably petty,” Davis confessed. “But there was a storyline with Evan and I, Harry and I, where we go out on Valentine’s Day and eat a bunch of French cheese and have digestive problems and lay on the floor in T-shirts.”

The scene she’s referring to is from “The Ick Factor,” the season finale of “Sex and the City’s” sixth season, where Charlotte’s husband Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler, embarks on a lactose-filled attempt to impress his on-screen partner. What follows, of course, is a full-on digestive disaster that ends with the couple sprawled out on the floor.

“I just hated that storyline so much,” Davis admitted.

It was a moment so unbearable that Davis took her dissatisfaction straight to the writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg.

“I went to them and I was like, ‘Please, do we have to, why?’” she confessed.

But the writers weren’t backing down. Davis recalled their response during the episode: “They were like, ‘‘Cause it’s so funny.’ I think … it was based on someone had gone to France and this had happened to them because, you know, they have so many decadent cheeses that we’re not used to here.”

Still, Davis wasn’t exactly tickled by the storyline.

“I didn’t like that. I didn’t want to lay on the floor in the bathroom with Evan in, like, stained T-shirts,” she explained.

And while this could’ve been just one embarrassing episode in Charlotte’s life, it turns out Davis had an uncanny pattern of picking up scenes that didn’t quite agree with her.

Davis said the cheese scene was “second” to what writer Michael Patrick King “put me through in Mexico, with the water” in the 2008 “Sex and the City” film.

“I’m not even going to go into detail, ’cause everyone knows,” she said, referring to an iconic scene when she accidentally swallows shower water at the resort the characters stayed at — leading to disastrous results. Or, as Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie says, she “Poughkeepsie-d in her pants.”
