HBO forced Sex and the City writers to ditch a scene because it was just too revolting
BACK IN 1998, four New York women sashayed onto our television screens, and took up residence for six years, before waving goodbye to the Big Apple’s dating scene in 2004.
Considered one of the most groundbreaking shows of its time, Sex and the City weren’t afraid to tackle issues head-on, but writers have recently revealed that some of their scenes were too explicit… even for SATC.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the show’s pilot, the writers, who provided us with some seriously compelling storylines during their time, told Vanity Fair that there was one particular occasion when HBO had to step in and veto a scene.
And before we go on, it’s worth noting that this scene most definitely isn’t for the fainthearted… or weak-stomached.
Referring to an episode in the first season entitled The Monogamists which featured Charlotte and a new partner, creator, Darren Star, revealed that they had shot and edited the scene before HBO put their foot down.
And now it’s time for the overview.
Yes! Go Charlotte, but now, prepare yourself, people.
We know, we’re literally shook.
But by the sound of it, so too is writer Amy B Harris, who seems vaguely incredulous that the scene made it into the script let alone the fact they shot it, and presented it to network bosses.
And if anyone needs us, we’ll be busy blanking that description from our minds for the rest of our lives.
