    With all this chatter around And Just Like That — and, frankly, JUST how awful it us — I decided what better time than now to showcase how amazing of a friend Samantha Jones was, specifically in the Sex and the City movie...

    Put more respect on Samantha Jones. She was the most understanding friend in that group and would never go ghost like that. Lazy-ass writers. #AndJustLikeThat

    1. Off the bat, the fact that Samantha was always the one to fly to NYC, while Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte never even offered to fly to LA:

    Not. Once. 

    2. When Samantha agreed to be Carrie's maid of honor even though she 100% does not believe in marriage:

    Warner Bros.

    This is not at all something Samantha would want to do — it's better suited for someone like Charlotte — but it's a testament that Carrie would ask and an even bigger testament that Samantha would agree. 

    3. Like, she flew back for Carrie's Vogue photoshoot and supported her through any and all wedding festivities:

    Warner Bros.

    Samantha is OPEN about how weddings and marriage isn't for her, but she's still there to get swept away in Carrie's festivities because she can put the needs of others above her own!

    4. When Samantha did damage control for Carrie after Big stood her up at the altar:

    5. When Samantha got everyone on Carrie's honeymoon after she was unable to get Carrie a refund:

    Warner Bros.

    Don't even get me started on Miranda's "I can't go to Mexico, I have a job," like Samantha isn't standing right in front of her... 

    6. Lastly, and my personal favorite, when Samantha spoon-fed Carrie after she was too depressed to eat:

    This moment between Samantha and Carrie is PEAK friendship. 

    ...and, this got me to thinking — especially with how awful / non canon her storyline is — just how TRASH of a friend Miranda was in the movies!

    This just in (again): Miranda is the worst (again) #AndJustLikeThat

    7. Like when Carrie told her and Charlotte that Big got them their dream penthouse in Manhattan and instead of being happy, Miranda decided to be bitter:

    This may just be me, but I personally would congratulate a friend before insulting their intelligence. 

    8. When, after Steve cheated, Miranda had Carrie uninvite him to the rehearsal dinner and wedding:

    Warner Bros.

    Don't get me wrong, I do not condone cheating, but Steve has been in Carrie's life for a decade now! You can't put your differences aside for one day? 

    9. When she told Big — a man she knows has a crippling fear of commitment — that he was crazy to get married:

    Miranda telling Big not to get married
    Warner Bros.

    Don't let your problems with Steve bleed into your friends' relationship. 

    10. When, after telling Big not to marry Carrie / leading to their wedding disaster, she didn't tell Carrie...

    Miranda asking Charlotte when she should tell Carrie about runining her wedding
    Warner Bros.

    I understand Carrie is upset, but you should have told her BEFORE IT CAME TO THIS! 

    11. ...for MONTHS!

    Miranda finally telling Carrie about her mistake
    Warner Bros.

    What gets me is that it took Miranda five months to tell Carrie about her fuckup but wouldn't even give Carrie 72 hours to forgive her for her transgression...MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

    12. Lastly, and most offensively, when Miranda — and Carrie and Charlotte, tbh — judged Samantha for her weight gain:

    Warner Bros.

    No explanation necessary. 

    AND THIS WAS JUST IN THE FIRST MOVIE!

    HBO

    Imma say something controversial, yet brave: I'm glad Samantha isn't in And Just Like That because, frankly, she deserves better friends than them and ESPECIALLY a better friend than Miranda.

    I said what I said. 

    In conclusion:

    Lindsay Theisen @lindsaytheis

    Proud of Samantha for leaving such a toxic friend group.
