Kristin Davis explains a 'SATC' director shouting at her co-star to touch her inappropriately, describing the incident as 'humiliating'.

In the second season of Sex and the City, the episode "The Chicken Dance" became a standout moment for many viewers, and one actress in particular – Kristin Davis.

During the wedding scene, Davis' character, Charlotte York, agrees to meet Martin's parents, played by a scene partner. The dance, which featured the popular tune "The Chicken Dance," was a significant part of the episode, and the final scene filmed in the wedding sequence was Davis dancing with the father character.

However, the scene was not without its challenges. Davis recalled feeling humiliated and mortified during the filming, as she was instructed to be grabbed by a scene partner. This close-up sequence was indeed a memorable one, and it left a lasting impression on Davis.

The director of the episode, Victoria Hochberg, was the one who gave the instruction for the grab, referring to Davis' character. Despite the discomfort, Davis' character shows her "real mad face" in the scene, adding an extra layer of tension to the dance.

After the 24-hour shoot, Davis admitted that she found the whole experience "crazy." Upon completing the scene, she was left upset and reflecting on the unusual circumstances.

Fast forward to today, and Davis is now the host of the podcast "Are You a Charlotte?" She has moved on from the challenging filming experience and continues to captivate audiences with her acting skills.

Despite extensive searches, there is no information available about the man who took over the role of Martin in the second season of Sex and the City or about any physical contact between Davis and the actor during the filming of "The Chicken Dance."

Regardless, the scene remains a memorable moment in the history of Sex and the City, and a testament to Davis' ability to bring her character to life, even in challenging circumstances.
