But Kyra doesn’t land herself on the Worst Women on Sex and the City list for having a “no shoes in the house” policy (even though it does ruin Carrie’s outfit). Instead, she proposes a $200 check because, as she says, “I really don’t think we should have to pay for your extravagant lifestyle.” That’s bold, coming from the woman standing in her huge Manhattan loft. Yet when Carrie’s Manolos are mysteriously missing after a visit to Kyra’s, the party host refuses to pay Carrie $485 to replace the heels, after she offers to reimburse Carrie. Engagement gifts! Wedding gifts! One, two, three baby gifts! All to “celebrate her choices,” as a disgruntled Carrie tells Charlotte. In “A Woman’s Right to Shoes,” Carrie crunches the numbers only to realize that over the years, she has spent over $2,300 (!) on her friend Kyra (played by a judgemental Tatum O’Neal).
Chris Murphy Shoe-Shaming Kyra (Tatum O’Neal) Bunny can keep her vise grip on her impotent son, the tartan of their Scottish clan (shudder), and her piss-poor attitude, while Charlotte can keep Trey’s gorgeous Upper East Side apartment and her gorgeous daughter, Lily.
Bunny is such a nightmare that she’s the one who tells Charlotte that Trey wants a divorce, and seems to relish it while doing so. Bunny is also explicitly racist, going so far to tell Charlotte that she would not accept an adopted grandchild ( “I don’t enjoy Mandarin food, and I don’t enjoy a Mandarin child”) before offering Charlotte some shortbread (famously a mid cookie). Try as she might, Charlotte can’t live up to Bunny’s impossibly high and antiquated standards. You’d think that of all people, Charlotte York-with her Protestant Republican upbringing and her princessy affect-would be the dream daughter-in-law for a woman as blue blood and old-fashioned as Bunny. Charlotte really did receive the in-law from hell in Bunny MacDougal ( Frances Sternhagen), the impossibly Waspy, Connecticut-mansion-owning mother of Charlotte’s first husband, Trey. Bunny MacDougal (Frances Sternhagen)īunny is a rider…and she’s riding all the way to the top of our Worst Women on SATC list. We can only hope the sequel brings back one of these terrible women, someone we can love to hate a second time. The result? A list made for real fans, those of us who can’t wait to pick apart every second of And Just Like That… when it returns for its sophomore season. So for this round, we decided it’d be more fun to look beyond Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha-to plumb the depths of Sex and the City’s rich universe in order to uncover the worst of the worst. Sex and the City is a show about friendship misguided as they could be, it feels wrong to blast our heroines for being human. But while none of the show’s core four characters have blameless records-Carrie, are you seriously shaming your best friend into giving you her engagement ring because you were too busy to start a savings account?!-they’re more endearingly flawed than they are Big-style sociopaths. After cataloging the 10 worst men on Sex and the City, it only felt fair for VF’s SATC obsessives to turn the tables and determine which of the series’ female characters deserves her own spot on our wall of shame.
