Now, months after McCain wrote her story for the Daily Mail blasting their show, the stars of “And Just Like That…” are responding. Speaking to Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show over the weekend, Nixon and Nicole Ari Parker, who plays Charlotte York-Goldenblatt’s mom friend, Lisa Todd Wexley, defended the direction writers took by reflecting diversity in their characters’ storylines (via People).
About the show, Nixon said, “Because people know it so well, they have enshrined it in nostalgia. But this is a show that has always pushed every kind of boundary. I think that that’s what’s so magnificent about the new show — about how many different directions we’re going with that, and pushing boundaries and shaking people up.”
Parker said it best, slamming McCain by saying, “Comments like that say more about the person saying them.” She added, “What’s too much? Maybe in your living room or when you step outside, it looks the same as inside, and you go to the grocery store and it’s the same. Maybe it is too much for you. For these characters in New York City, it’s not.”
