We love Sex And The City. We love Carrie Bradshaw. But we have to admit, the woman can be the actual worst. Let's discuss with LE LIST the most problematic moments of the fashion goeroe and why you shouldn't treat your friends the same as she did.

Sorry to Burst Your Bubble, But We Need to Talk About Carrie Bradshaw’s Behavior
Yes, we know Carrie is the main character, and it’s always about her. But even the most fabulous fashionista needs to take a step back sometimes. We've rounded up the most questionable moments where, dare we say it, Carrie defines toxicity.
Slut-Shaming Queen Samantha?
Time and time again, Carrie couldn’t resist the urge to critique her friends' choices, especially when it came to Samantha's liberated lifestyle. Carrie’s constant commentary on Samantha’s sex life was relentless, all while Carrie herself would leave the bar with the first charming guy she met. Double standards much?
Borrowing Money Drama
Raise your hand if you’d be upset when a friend doesn’t want to lend you $40,000. Carrie would. Carrie, sweetie, Charlotte is your friend, not your personal ATM. Expecting your friends to bankroll your lifestyle? Not cute.
The Bigger the Better?
We get it, Carrie. Big was your on-again, off-again soulmate, but prioritizing him over your friends every single time? That’s not how it should be. Friends should come first, always.
Send Help, Not Aiden
Remember when Miranda needed help because she slipped a disc and was stuck naked on her bathroom floor? Instead of rushing to her friend’s side, Carrie sent Aiden. Girl, you weren't even busy. Go help your friend yourself.
Get Your Priorities Straight
When Miranda was battling postnatal depression and struggling with the pressures of new motherhood, Carrie couldn’t stop talking about how Aiden’s ex gave her a dirty look. Seriously, Carrie, some moments are just not about you.
The World Revolves Around Carrie
One of the most glaring examples of Carrie’s self-centeredness was when Samantha confided in her about having cancer. Instead of offering support, Carrie turned the conversation back to herself. Enough said.
The Takeaway: Don't Be a Carrie
From one person to another, don’t be a Carrie. Be a supportive friend. Don’t make the same mistakes she did. We promise it will make you a better person.
Yours truly,
