Sarah Jessica Parker gets honest about sharing political views on social media

Sarah Jessica Parker recently got candid about why she avoids sharing her political opinions online.

In a recent appearance on The Best People podcast, the 60-year-old actress explained that she believes there are more suitable platforms for discussing social issues than social media.

"I often don’t talk on social media because I don’t think it’s a place that’s deserving of any real complicated conversation," the Sex and The City star said.

"I’m not interested in quick little snippets when it’s dealing with conflict or even elections sometimes," Parker said, explaining why she avoids sharing political opinions on digital forums.

"I really was so thoughtful about how I wanted to talk about the election because I think it turns into a distraction from a campaign," the Hocus Pocus actress noted, adding, "It turns into fodder. It’s misunderstood. You have no control over it. I’m not going to talk about stuff that I don’t feel educated on."

"I’m not going to jump in on really complex areas that I feel are deserving of far more thought, consideration, nuance — which I know no one’s interested in. And I just feel like I want to be helpful. I don’t want to hurt something that matters to me," the American actress and television producer noted.

Towards the end, Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she feels more "comfortable" dealing with social issues on her own terms.
