Cynthia Nixon reveals the sex scene she claims was cut from ‘Sex and The City’
This may have been too much sex for the city.
While appearing on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen this week, Cynthia Nixon revealed that her character, Miranda Hobbes, was the subject of a sex scene that was cut from the third season of “Sex and the City.”
“Was there a storyline in the early years that was cut out that you wish would’ve stayed in?” host Cohen asked her during the show.
“Miranda dated a really hot detective who she was very intimidated by and thought he was really out of her league, so she got wildly drunk,” Nixon claimed in response.
“They didn’t cut that plot, but they cut the sex scene where she’s really, really drunk and then vomits all over him,” she explained.
The Post reached out to reps at HBO for comment.
The plot line in question took place during the third season, in an episode titled “What Goes Around Comes Around.”

In the episode, Hobbes dates a man named Detective Stevens (Timothy Gibbs), who she meets because he was investigating Carrie Bradshaw’s robbery case, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
Of course, later in the series, Nixon’s character marries her husband, Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) — however, on the show’s 2021 spinoff on Max, “And Just Like That,” the pair go through some changes in their marriage, as she asks him for a divorce and begins dating fictional comedian Che Diaz (Sara Ramírez).
The original “Sex and the City” series ran from 1998-2004, spanning for six seasons on HBO, but was revived for a spinoff in 2020 by the network’s streaming service, Max.
However, while starring on “And Just Like That..,” Nixon certainly hasn’t shied away from any racy scenes.

During the premiere of the show’s sophomore season on June 22, Nixon tried a strap-on — even struggling to put it on at first — and talked about “pegging” with Diaz.
They were also featured getting intimate in a hot tub during the opening sequence, something that the actress said she was “fairly game” for.
“I feel like I was always fairly game for it,” Nixon told Entertainment Tonight about showing some skin on-camera.
“It’s just one of the main subjects of the show is sex — people having sex and people having great sex and people having terrible sex and people having hilarious sex,” she continued.

As Nixon’s character experiences these new, exciting changes during the first and second seasons of “And Just Like That…”, she is surrounded by cast mates Parker and Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York.
Kim Cattrall, who played sultry publicist Samantha Jones, did not sign on to the first season following reports — and even some seeming crumbs of evidence — of a feud between her and the cast.
The drama seemingly began in 2017, when they were set to film the third installment of the “Sex and the City” movie, but production suddenly came to a screeching halt, while an article published in the Daily Mail allegedly revealed Cattrall’s “demands” for the movie at the time.

But last month, The Post exclusively revealed that Cattrall had signed back on to “And Just Like That…” for a “cliffhanger” cameo appearance.
One source claimed that her role was kept so under wraps that the actresses’ name didn’t even appear on the call sheet.
During a recent appearance on “The View,” Cattrall admitted that HBO executive Casey Bloys was the one who called her asking to appear on the season two finale.
“It’s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, ‘What can we do?’” Cattrall claimed. “And I went, ‘Hmmm … let me get creative.’”
And creative she was — in turn, she asked if her friend and costume designer, Patricia Field, could make her outfit for the scene.
“I just thought, ‘If I’m going to come back, I got to come back with that kind of Samantha style,’” she said. “I got to push it. And we did.”
