Sarah Jessica Parker Going Broke?

Covid-19 has impacted just about everyone and Sarah Jessica Parker is no exception. Is the Sex and the City star going broke? Gossip Cop investigates.

‘SJP Strapped For Cash’

According to Woman’s Day, the Ed Wood actress “may be swapping the glamorous acting life for a more humble one – selling shoes.” Parker “has been frequently spotted helping customers” but stilettos at her Manhattan store, “leading fans to question if she’s been a financial victim of Covid.”

Parker has always had a passion for fashion, but helping customers buy shoes leads the tabloid to believe her “stalled acting career could point to financial woes.” Between Divorce being canceled after three years on HBO and her Broadway show Plaza Suite being delayed until 2021, the tabloid concludes Parker must be “strapped for cash.” She also sold her “townhouse of 20 years for a reported $20.5 million,” so maybe she needed the money fast.

Let’s Break That Down A Bit

Let’s see if Gossip Cop has this straight: Parker owns her own stiletto store in Manhattan, recently wrapped a three season run on her own HBO show, has a broadway play to look forward to opposite her husband Matthew Broderick, and she made $20.5 million from selling a townhouse. But… she’s strapped for cash? What?

This story comes from a piece in the Daily Mail about Parker showing up at her own store and helping customers. It’s not like she needed the wage for the day, for she just got caught up in helping people. Parker and Broderick sold their townhouse, not for money, but because they purchased new ones for $35 million a few years ago. A spokesperson for Parker went on the record with Gossip Cop to say this story was totally “false.”
