Sarah Jessica Parker says she sympathises with Desperate Housewives actors whose treatment from the press is "totally disrespectful."
Reading reports of splits amongst the cast reminds her of the constant speculation about on-set fighting at Sex and the City.
Forty-year-old actor Parker thinks journalists prefer to write about women arguing than men.
"You never hear this sort of thing about a male-oriented show," she explained. "I just think it's more interesting for journalists to report that women can't get along. And frankly it's totally disrespectful because no one puts the same expectations on men.
"But I'm sure the Desperate Housewives will weather it. They'll get savvy. And if there are in fact any differences, they'll figure them out."
