And Just Like That… sparks outrage with shocking Kristin Davis scene
‘WHO approved this?’: And Just Like That… sparks outrage with shock scene showing Kristin Davis, 58, ogling a ‘hot’ SCHOOLBOY
And Just Like That… has come under fire over a scene featuring a group of women in their fifties ogling a teenage schoolboy.
Episode three of the Sex And The City reboot showed Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) discussing a ‘MILF list’ that had been created by one of the pupils at their children’s school.
Flattered to find themselves in second and third place on the list, the ladies then headed to school to discuss who they thought was behind it all.
While chatting with the fellow school mums a name is thrown out into the mix, Milo H, with one mother quipping ‘the nerds are always the pervs’.
Charlotte begins to interject by saying: ‘You guys I am not comfortable with this, we’re talking about a little boy here…’ but is cut off as the door to the principal’s office opens and the culprit is revealed.

Sexualised: In the scene a schoolboy (played by Wes Williams) who has created a ‘MILF list’ is seen being objectified by the group of school mothers
At which point the camera switches to slow motion, with the schoolboy (played by Wes Williams) seen looking the ladies up and down as he struts past.
As a mum remarks: ‘Is that Milo H?’ another quips, ‘H for hot?’ while another makes a sexy growl noise.
With all the women openmouthed, Lisa then quips: ‘Why do I feel like Blanche DuBois?’ referencing the tragic protagonist in A Streetcar Named Desire who is thrown out of her hometown for sleeping with a teenage boy.
The ladies are later called out for their behaviour by the school principal, who announces during an assembly that ‘a group of mothers were overheard objectifying a male student in the hallway’.
Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, fans were left in a state of shock, tweeting: ‘I’m watching #AndJustLikeThat, and did they just have a group of horny 50 year old mothers who were included on a MILF list, just ogle the teenage boy who created the list, and call him hot?”
‘Me, looking for the grown man to appear behind the teenage boy they’re apparently lusting after…#AndJustLikeThat’; ‘Yeah having women in their fifties call a teenage boy “hot” was overboard #AndJustLikeThat but thankfully they get called out for it in the same episode’;
‘Are you supporting adult attraction to children? He’s a damn kid! These are women with influence, money, and power, right? Why are they lusting after a child? Teenagers are children!’
‘EW WHO APPROVED THIS SCENE #AndJustLikeThat’; ‘Um…… did they just oogle a teenage boy.’
MailOnline has contacted Warner Media for comment.

And Just Like That has proved to be controversial since the reboot brought back beloved characters Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker); Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte.
The series came under fire last year for struggling to find its place in ‘woke’ times, something the show has been heavily criticised for over the years – due to its largely white cast and claims of gender and racial stereotyping and sex-shaming.
While fans had been hoping for more in season two, the opening episodes didn’t win over the critics, with the show branded ’empty’ and ‘unfunny’ in first reviews.
A saving grace for the show could be the return of Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones.
Kim had refused to appear in the reboot after an explosive feud with star Sarah Jessica Parker but was convinced to make a cameo this season after negotiating with the head of HBO.
According to Variety, Kim will return for only one ‘cliffhanger’ scene, which she shot on March 22 in New York City, without seeing or speaking with her former co-stars. The scene was also shot without AJLT showrunner Michael Patrick King.
In the scene, Samantha, who has moved to London, will have a phone conversation with Carrie.
The New York Post claimed that Kim’s cameo was so secretive that her name did not even appear on the call sheet for the day, leaving people stunned at her presence.
