And it doesn’t sound like he’s #TeamSamantha.

Jason Lewis – the actor who played Smith Jerrod in Sex and the City – has spoken out about the feud between co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall.

According to E! news, the 46-year-old actor was recently asked by a KTLA 5 news anchor about the  dramatic situation between the former co-stars.

Adding that he was a firm believer in the phrase ‘if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all’, he explained:

“Listen, I have to say that Sarah was always just so lovely and such a consummate professional and I think that people should remember their graciousness and the things that have been given to them.

“And I’m going to stop there. Because I’ve got nothing good to say.”

The anchor pressed on, asking if that meant he was on “team Sarah”, to which the actor replied:

“I might just have to say yeah…what a gracious lady. She was always so good to me.”

The war of words between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall first erupted when the plans for a Sex and the City 3 movie was canceled late last year.

Earlier this month, Cattrall hit out at her former co-star after she reached out to her following the death of her brother.

She announced in a heartbreaking post at the start of February that her brother Chris had passed away suddenly.

The message sparked an outpouring of love, support and condolences from her fans and her former Sex and the City co-stars alike.

Along them was Sarah Jessica Parker, who went on to speak about the tragedy while doing TV interviews.

But Kim hit out at her former co-star on Saturday, accusing her of being a “hypocrite” and “cruel”.

Her post on Instagram began:

“I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker”

And in the caption to the post, she continued:

“My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’

” Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now.

“Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend.

“So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
