Kristin Davis talks getting ‘ridiculed relentlessly’ over using fillers and pressures to look young
‘It’s very stressful’: Kristin Davis, 58, says she is ‘relentlessly ridiculed’ for using fillers and the pressure to always look like her ‘younger self’
Kristin Davis got candid about the criticism she received for trying to maintain a more youthful appearance in a new interview.
The 58-year-old Sex and the City alumnus – who will appear next month in the second season of the show’s spin-off – told The Telegraph that she has been “mercilessly ridiculed” about her use of fillers.
“It’s hard to be confronted with your younger self at all times,” Kristin told the outlet.
She continued, “And it’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to look like that. The internet wants you to do that, but they don’t want you to either. They are very conflicted.’
The And Just Like That actress revealed that she started using Botox years ago, but “didn’t do anything else for a long time” — until she tried fillers.

“I did fillers and it was good and I did fillers and it was bad,” Kristin admitted. “I have had to disband them and I have been relentlessly ridiculed. And I shed tears for it. It’s very stressful.’
Kristin also revealed that “people blame us personally when things go wrong,” rather than the doctor who did the job.
And the Holiday in the Wild star also paid attention to the lip fillers she received, which were criticized when the Sex and the City spin-off debuted later in 2021.
“Nobody told me it didn’t look good for a long time,” Kristin said.
‘But luckily I have good friends who finally said it. The thing is, you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people.’
The interview comes a few days after Kristin and her SATC co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, 58, and Cynthia Nixon, 57, got together to celebrate 25 years since the first episode of the iconic HBO show premiered.
On Thursday, the three actresses performed at the And Just Like That…It’s Been 25 Years, A Sex And The City Experience.

Last month, the official premiere date for And Just Like That Season 2 was confirmed by Max.
Billed as “a new chapter” of the iconic Sex and the City, the spin-off sequel will begin streaming on June 22, reuniting all the big stars.
To accompany the news, HBO unveiled a new poster featuring original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis.
And this time Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, returns to the fold for a scene she shot in New York City in March without seeing Parker, Davis, Nixon or showrunner Michael Patrick King.
