Parker didn't exactly give a full-throated endorsement to her former costar.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker gave a lukewarm response to the news that her former Sex and the City costar Cynthia Nixon is running for governor of New York.

“Cynthia has been my friend and colleague since we were little girls,” Parker told the New York Post’s Page Six through her spokeswoman. “I look forward to talking to her about her New York state gubernatorial bid.”

Page Six reports that after Parker’s public fallout with costar Kim Cattrall, tension between she and Nixon could potentially “hurt the franchise.”

“HBO is afraid the fallout will hurt viewership of the reruns,” an insider reportedly said.
