- “Sex and the City” star Kristin Davis said a man once “ghosted” her after she lent him $5,000 while they were dating.
- She said she made the “horrible mistake” of lending money to the “out-of-work” actor in the 1990s.
- The “now very successful” actor never paid her back, she said.
Kristin Davis said a “very successful” actor once “ghosted” her after she loaned him $5,000 while they were dating.
The “Sex and the City” star spoke about her experience with guest and former costar Sarah Wynter in a recent episode of her podcast Are You A Charlotte?”
Davis told listeners she made the “horrible mistake” of lending the money to the then “out-of-work” actor in the mid-1990s.
She recalled: “At the time, I had money because I’d been working, and I was at his house, and he had all of these ‘your electricity’s gonna be turned off’ notices that you get when you can’t pay your bills. They were all just all over his house.”
Davis said the unnamed actor had also “wrecked his motorcycle,” which prevented him from attending auditions.
“I was like, ‘Can I lend you some money?'” she said. “Horrible mistake. Anyone listening, do not lend anyone money that you are dating. It doesn’t end well. It really irked me.”

Davis said that the incident occurred sometime before she found fame as Charlotte York on the hugely successful HBO series “Sex and the City,” which ran for six seasons between 1998 and 2004 — and around the time she was on “Melrose Place.”
Davis said the pair had what she called “a casual thing” and refused to name the actor involved, although she said he had gone on to become “very successful.”
But she added that she soon regretted the decision, as lending the money “changed the dynamic in a horrible way.”
She continued: “I probably should have known better. But I just felt like, ‘I can help. I should help this guy. He’s so talented,’ which he is.”
“I think it was all of $5,000. So I lent him this money, and then he stops calling. I’m like, ‘What the heck?'”
“I just would love some acknowledgment or whatever, which is kind of a fantasy,” she added.
But that seemingly wasn’t the last time the “And Just Like That” star made the mistake of lending a date money.
“I think the next time was the last time,” she said.
Davis, who starred in “Cash Out” alongside John Travolta last year, announced her podcast in December.
The show, which debuted on January 13, sees Davis and special guests share “untold stories” and behind-the-scenes tales from “Sex and the City.”
