The “Sex and the City” feuds have stayed in the spotlight since the HBO show’s hit run from 1998 to 2004.

The bitter battles finally simmered over when Kim refused to return for the third film in 2017 — before shocking fans by blasting Sarah over a simple message of sympathy over Kim's deceased brother. "I do not need your love or support," Kim responded, while accusing Sarah of "exploiting" a family tragedy, and adding “You are not my family. You are not my friend.”

Fans also noticed that Kim wasn't particularly supportive when Cynthia Nixon — who found fame as Miranda on the hit HBO show — announced that
she was running for governor of New York State in March 2018. Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte, gushed that she was "so proud" of her co-star. Kim, however, was mocked for plainly stating: "I support & respect any former colleague’s right to make their own career choices."

The show's followers didn't know that the bitter feuding went back to 2002 — when Kim herself was blasted for betraying Cynthia over a very personal tragedy. "Sarah Jessica, Kristin and Cynthia have completely frozen Kim out," a crew member told

Although
later married to a woman, the redhead was then living with sculptor Danny Mozes in 2002 — and sources said that Cynthia had confided in Kim about a recent miscarriage. Weeks later, Kim had become upset with news of a shortened season after Sarah had become pregnant — and complained to producers: "Well, what happens when Cynthia gets pregnant? Are we just going to cancel the whole show?"

Producers had not known about Cynthia's miscarriage or her attempts to conceive again. But after Kim's comment, they spoke to others and eventually learned the facts. They then approached Cynthia and bluntly asked her whether she was trying to have a baby — with the crew member claiming: "They said, 'We know about the miscarriage. Kim told us all about it!'"

"Cynthia ran to Kim," the crew member continued, "who swore she didn't tell them about the miscarriage — but owned up to the pregnancy remark. Cynthia couldn't believe that the producers had the nerve to ask her about her plans for a baby, and that they threw her miscarriage in her face so callously. And she was absolutely stunned that Kim had betrayed her."

The cast would manage to stay together for two more seasons, but the on-set chill never recovered. "When they were on location in Atlantic City," reported another set insider, "Sarah Jessica rented a house for herself, Kristin and Cynthia — but poor Kim had to scramble to find her own lodging. Nobody's talking to her, other than rehearsals, line readings and of course taping."

"The producers are doing nothing" to quell the feud, added the source — and there were soon rumors that Kim's character later developed cancer as an excuse to write her off the show. Insiders also said producers were already set to open the first "Sex and the City" film with a funeral when Kim tried to hold out for more money.

Publicists, meanwhile, tried to cover up the leaks. "Sarah has good relationships with all of the girls," insisted her rep. But with the film franchise now over, Kim is shocking the show's devoted fans by finally venting over — although not all of her old co-stars are getting dismissed!

Kim was much kinder to her former cast member Cynthia — who also sent a note of condolence after the death of Kim's brother. Unlike her bitter blast at Sarah, Kim responded gratefully: “Cynthia, hearing your voice meant so much to me. Thank you for reaching out. Love, Kim.”
