The actor who played Mr. Big, Chris Noth, was accused of sexual assault by multiple women after the show's first episode aired. Read about the allegations here.

"I always think of that particular moment, as there have been a few in the show in its previous title, that it's suspended animation. It's this moment where everything stops," Sarah said on Watch What Happens Live.

She continued, "And then whatever collapsing of time that happens does not stop her from taking care of somebody in a fashion that you would want and expect from your partner or husband or wife."

Sarah also noted that Carrie "found the phone at some point" and "of course" called 911 in a timely fashion.

She added, "Then, of course, she called 911 and got all the help she needed from professionals." Unfortunately, it just wasn't enough.
