Kristin Davis opened up about a humiliating experience with a director on the set of Sex and the City.During the Monday, July 28, episode of her “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast, Davis, 60, looked back on filming season 2, episode 7 episode titled “The Chicken Dance.”Davis recalled the episode’s director, Victoria Hochberg, “yelling” at her scene partner to “grab her ass" during a wedding scene.The episode featured her character, Charlotte York, having a quick relationship with a man named Martin after they met at the wedding. The brief romance escalated quickly, and she was even asked to meet his parents. Charlotte soon found herself dancing with Martin's father, who was played by the scene partner in question. “So then the final scene that was filmed of this whole wedding sequence was me dancing with the dad at the wedding,” Davis said. “First of all, everyone’s delirious. My point of view [at the time] is that No. 1, I have to dance with this older man who is going to feel my butt, which I’m mortified about. Okay. No. 2, everyone is beyond exhausted.”Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬After explaining that the scene was the "final thing” they had to shoot, she shared that she saw "a row of crew members sleeping" against a "half wall" near the dance floor. "The camera can’t see them obviously, but they’ve just passed out," Davis said. "So there’s just a row of sad crew members sleeping on the floor that I’m just like, ‘God bless them, God bless them.’”Everyone was “delirious” from the long day, and Davis claimed that Hochberg, 72, was "yelling at this man." “She’s far away across the room, and I feel like she might have had a bullhorn," Davis recalled. "She’s like, ‘Hard, harder, bigger, grab her ass, grab her ass,’ and I’m just like, ‘God, the humiliation factor is so high,' and there’s like close-up of him grabbing my butt.”Davis said that the director's behavior made her “mad” by the time the scene was done. “And you can see when I tell the dude [who played Martin] … that’s my real mad face … if you watch the show and the movies, you know my real mad face," she said. "I am mad because I’m mad that I had to do it. You know, I’m mad that this man grabbed my butt. It’s like mortifying, you know.”“I remember thinking, like, ‘Man, we’ve got a crazy show, a crazy show, up all night long for 24 hours, trying to make this craziness,'" she concluded.
