Kristin Davis says that Sex and the City forced her to binge.

According to eecho.ie, the 40-year-old actress thinks constant criticism and on-set competition left her yo-yo dieting and forced into punishing exercise regimes.

She explained: "Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services - where all the food for the cast and crew was - and I would eat. (Then) I decided that I was going to be very tough and run seven miles, three times a week. I was killing myself. My ankles hurt, my knees hurt and I was working 18-hour days."

I believe it, sets like that must feel like highschool.

What's with all the TV actors claiming their TV shows gave them an eating disorder? Allie McBeal actors were notorious for claiming this (Calista, Portia and Courtney to name a few). Now we have the Sex set coming forward.

How does a TV show 'force' you to binge, purge, starve yourself, whatever? Do people no longer take responsibility for anything anymore?

I think it has more to do with the fact that many (note I didn't say all Wicked Ho) aren't the most tightly wound individuals in the first place. In fact, I'd venture to say that most are emotionally needy vacuous individuals who are blown about by the latest fad all the time because there's not much inside of them. How can you stand firm on a subject when you have no interior concepts of who you actually are?

Kristen Davis is another Jenn Aniston in my book. When they do interview her some of the world's dumbest whining comes out. Someone please duct tape her mouth shut. Did anyone catch the awful movie KD did with Meatloaf about a deranged trucker?

I have an old Kathy Smith yoga video and Kristen is in the background as one of the other instructors or whatever. She's very bottom heavy even in that video. I can see where a normally shaped woman would beat herself silly with diet and exercise if they had to stand next to SJP.
