Sarah Jessica Parker is reflecting on past "cruel" comments made about her appearance.

The Sex and the City star appeared on the June 18 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast where she opened up to host Alex Cooper about the "mean" criticism she received while starring on the groundbreaking series, per People.

"Discussions of my physical person [were the hardest]," she said. "Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing, or still even after hearing something that was like, 'What? Somebody would say that?' — even still, no interest in changing it."

She noted that the comments didn't feel like a "conversation" where she could explain the impact the harsh words had on her, saying, "I didn't feel like I could sit in a room and someone would say to me, 'You're really unattractive,' and then I could say, 'Wow. Well first of all, that's hard to hear. But second of all, why do you seem so angry about it, or why do you feel it's necessary to comment?'"

Parker, who has reprised her iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw in two spinoff films and the sequel series And Just Like That..., remembered hearing about "something really mean" said in a magazine that left her "sobbing" to her friends "because it just seemed so cruel."

"I was just like, 'Why is this a problem? ... Why do you see to delight in saying it?' And I called two of my friends... and I was sobbing because it felt so purposeful," she said, adding, "That's the only time I really cried about it. I think it was just an accumulation of maybe a season of that kind of commentary."

The Hocus Pocus actress previously joined her SATC co-star Kristin Davis on the latter's Are You A Charlotte? podcast where she revealed why she "panicked" after being cast as Carrie.
