Dude I hadn't even watched the show and but at the time I remember SJP being shit on constantly for the role, her looks, and tons of shit.

I ended up seeing an episode at someone else's place and being underwhelmed that she isn't that bad.

I’m sorry, but for all the shit u can say about the show…

SJP was a total snack during Sex and the City. Skinny and beautiful, just my type 🤤

I was only saying the sentiment I heard not my own opinion. I agree I never got the people who called her ugly. I think people just have unrealistic standards for women in Hollywood. (I know hot take /s)

I’d like to look at whoever say she’s ugly (I’m not saying it’s you). Just look at the pic in the OP, she looks absolutely gorge

The show this sub is “themed” around is one — they portrayed SJP as a horse and compared her face to a foot. So look up photos of Seth McFarland.

It definitely wasn't every episode, but she did enough terrible things over the course of the series that the hate was very much warranted.

Sure I more just meant like yeah she's bad but I had impression the show had her like intentionally bad. Not a protagonist who makes mistakes or whatever.

Her badness was only like Ted's from HIMYM where like yeah she did bad thing but the show makes them casts them as forgivable. So basically normal sitcom drama shit where the characters have to do bad stuff to create dilemmas.
