Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, says she was "devastated" when the show featured a particular scene that she felt totally corrupted it.
The actress, who is running for governor of New York, said the scene where Mr Big gave Carrie a massive walk-in wardrobe went completely against what she thought the show should stand for.
She felt the message of the show was lost when that scene was included.
"I was a little devastated by that," she told The Wendy Williams Show, "because it seemed to me that the show was so much about female empowerment and about women making their own choices and women standing up for what they wanted and supporting themselves.
"So to me, to have this be a kind of a climax of the film that your very wealthy husband built you a really nice closet for your clothes, I thought, 'Wow, that's not really what you love about this show, is it? Because that's not what we were making it for...'."
