Sarah Jessica Parker has opened up about an upsetting Twitter attack on her family.
The 49-year-old actress, who has son James, 11, and four-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, with husband Matthew Broderick, recently lashed back at self-described "relationship expert" Sarah J. Symonds in a series of tweets.
Symonds suggested the Sex and the City star wasn't her children's biological mother because her daughters were carried by a surrogate.
She said, ''That particular day, it was just one of the things I saw. I kept scrolling and then I was like, 'Wait a minute, did she just say that?' I went back and I thought, 'Well, this isn't unhealthy paranoia, this is absolutely conscious. This was a choice. She, not subtly at all, said that my children are not my children."
The actress said she doesn't understand why she is the target of such negativity, as she tries to keep her family out of the spotlight.
She said, ''What is it about me? I am not somebody who shows off her good fortune; I don't travel with bodyguards, I don't live a very glamorous life - I am afraid of all that. I don't talk about my marriage; I am circumspect about my children.
“I sometimes regret that people don't understand all that I do and all that I am because I am embarrassed to talk about what I've accomplished - I think it sounds self-centric and narcissistic,” she said
But she added, ''Other people can be mean, and that's something I just have to make peace with.''
