He stands by it.
“And Just Like That” showrunner Michael Patrick King is defending his choice to feature a disgusting toilet scene in the series finale of the “Sex and the City” spinoff.
In an interview published Thursday night, King told Variety, “We cannot take ourselves too seriously. For the gorgeousness of Carrie’s pink, sparkly top and tulle skirt — that’s the high — the low is a toilet filled up with s–t.”
He added, “Because guess what? Being single, there’s a lot of s–t, and relationships are a lot of s–t. It’s the comedy, with the drama, with the romance, with the fairy tale. I guess it’s a response to the fairy tale.”
“And Just Like That” had its series finale on Thursday night after 3 Seasons – ending Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) reign on TV that began when “Sex and the City” premiered in 1998.
During the episode, Carrie attends an awkward dinner party where there’s an incident with a toilet overflowing. The camera shows crap in the toilet onscreen. Enraged fans slammed the scene on social media, saying it made them feel “insulted” and made them “vomit.”
