Zoë Kravitz Shades Austin Butler’s The Carrie Diaries During Interview

During a Vanity Fair lie detector interview promoting their film Caught Stealing, Zoë Kravitz candidly expressed her dislike for the Sex and the City spinoffs The Carrie Diaries and And Just Like That…, telling Austin Butler to "leave that show alone." Unaware that Butler had starred as Sebastian Kydd on The Carrie Diaries, Kravitz was surprised when he revealed his role, to which she apologized, with the test administrator confirming she was being truthful. Kravitz also criticized certain plotlines of And Just Like That…, specifically the episode centered around a broken window, calling some storylines confusing and upsetting. Butler, who fondly remembers filming The Carrie Diaries as it marked his first time living in New York, defended his experience and shared that the show was meaningful to him. Despite their playful tension over the shows, Kravitz and Butler are collaborating closely on Caught Stealing, where Butler plays a bartender and Kravitz his girlfriend. The interaction highlighted Kravitz's blunt honesty and Butler's good-natured response to her critiques.
