Sex and the City star Kristin Davis, 59, has shared a dating horror story which resulted in her being thousands of dollars out of pocket.
The actress, who rose to fame playing Charlotte York on the show, recalled being ghosted after lending money to an actor - who went on to become very successful. Kristin couldnât remember exactly when the actor cut and run but said that it was around the time of SATC or her work on Melrose Place two to three decades ago.
Kristin shared the tale on her podcast Are You a Charlotte, speaking to guest Sarah Wynter. She described: âI 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 donât know."
Kristin wouldn't say who the actor was, but said he was now 'successful' and lived in the country with kids
The HBO star kept the identity of the man a secret, but did note that heâs ânow very successful". She added: âHe was very talented. But, at the time, I had money because Iâd been working, and I was at his house and he had all of these, âyour electricityâs gonna be turned off,â like all those notices that you get when you canât pay your bills. They were all just all over his house, right?
âAnd I was like, âWhatâs happening?â And then I think he wrecked his motorcycle, which is like how he got around town to his auditions. And I was like, âCan I lend you some money?ââ
Kristin described the offer as âa horrible mistake" and warned her fans: âAnyone listening, do not lend anyone money that you are dating. Do not do it. It doesnât end well. It really irked me.â
Soon after she gave the money, it âchanged the dynamicâ of her relationship âin a really horrible way", with Kristin sharing: âIt was kind of a casual thing. I probably shouldâve known better,â said Davis. âBut I just felt like, âI can help. I should help this guy. Heâs so talented,â which he is.â
She then outlined: âI lend him money. I think it was all of $5000. So I lent him this money and then he stops calling. Iâm like, âWhat the heck?ââ
Shockingly, the actress shared that she didn't learn her lesson the first time, and went through a similar experience again before not lending money to dates
Kristin shared how she didnât immediately let it go, and went to his apartment but he wouldnât answer the door. She remembered hearing his dog inside and wondering: ââIs he in there and pretending that he is not in there?ââ
She added: âAnd then later on, he called me and was like, âDid you come to my house and bang on my door?â And I was like, âWell, yes.â I felt so embarrassed, like I was being messy.â
After Sarah joked that Kristin should get her money back âwith interestâ now, Kristin admitted: âI just would love some acknowledgment or whatever, which is kind of a fantasy.â
Giving another tiny hint about his identity as she explained why she wouldnât be following up on the loan, she added: âHe lives out in the country with some children, so I donât think I want to show up there.â
Unfortunately, Kristin admitted that it took one more upsetting experience to learn not to mix romance and finance. âI canât say that was the last time I did it. I think the next time was the last time,â she said.
