And Kristin Davis also has her own real-life dating horror stories to share.
The actress, 59, revealed she was ghosted by a struggling actor whom she lent $5,000 to.
Davis did not reveal who the man was, only that he is now ‘very successful’ and that the relationship occurred ‘a long time ago’.
She ended up lending him $5k before he ‘ghosted’ her – prompting an irate Davis to confront him at his apartment door.
Davis recounted the ordeal on the second episode of her new podcast, Are You A Charlotte?
While Davis speculates the relationship may have occurred before she made it big on Sex And The City, she still had enough money saved up at the time to offer him the loan after she realized he was struggling to pay his utility bills.
‘A long time ago I was ghosted. I don’t know exactly. It’s hard to define the term “ghosting” exactly. I think it was when there were cellphones,’ she said.
‘I did one time date this out of work actor. I think this was before Sex and the City. Maybe between Melrose and Sex and the City or maybe when I was on Melrose. I don’t know.
‘He’s now very successful. He’s very talented. But at the time, I had money because I had been working.’
‘And I was at his house and he had all of these like, “Your electricity is going to be turned off”, like all those notices that you get when you can’t pay your bills. They were all just all over his house.
‘And I was like, “what’s happening?” And I think he wrecked his motorcycle, which was how he got around town to his auditions.
‘I was like, “Can I lend you some money?” she said. ‘Horrible mistake!… Anyone listening, do not lend anyone money that you are dating. Do not do it! It doesn’t end well,’ she said.
‘You never get the money back,’ her guest, Sarah Wynter, said.
‘Right! It really irked me,’ Kristin said.
Davis admitted she ‘should’ve known better’ than to loan the money as the relationship was rather ‘casual’ and that the money ‘changed the dynamic’ of their relationship ‘in a horrible way.’
‘And it was kind of a casual thing, right? So I probably should’ve known better. But I just felt like, “I can help. I should help this guy, he’s so talented,” which he is,’ she said. ‘I lent him this money, I think it was all of $5,000… and he stopped calling. I’m like, “what the heck!?”
Snubbed, Davis headed straight to the man’s apartment to confront him – but no one ever came to the front door.
The visit did get back to him, however.
‘So, I remember going over to his apartment, like banging on the door, and his dog was in there, and I loved his dog. And I could hear his dog, but I was like, is he in there and pretending that he is not in there!?’
‘Later on, he did call me and he’s like, “Did you come to my house and bang on my door?” And I was like “well, yes…” I felt so embarrassed, like being messy,’ she said. ‘Then I was like, “Well, remember how I lent you the money, now I haven’t heard from you.” But also this is a successful actor.’
‘I just would love some acknowledgement or whatever,’ she said. ‘Which is kind of a fantasy.’
When Wynter suggested they go confront him at his home again, Davis said the man is now living in the country with his family.
‘He lives out in the country and he’s married with some children,’ she said. ‘So I don’t think I want to show up there.’
