Candace Bushnell not receiving royalties from Sex and the City

Sex and the City moves to Netflix without royalties for author Candace Bushnell.

The beloved TV series, Sex and the City, has found a new home on Netflix, opening the doors to a whole new audience. However, while fans are excited about the show's availability on the streaming platform, author Candace Bushnell, the mastermind behind the original columns that inspired the show, won't be reaping the financial benefits.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Bushnell revealed that she will not receive any royalties from Netflix for the streaming of Sex and the City. She expressed her frustration, stating, 'The way men do business is a Ponzi scheme. All of these men who are in charge of things, they just keep moving these cards around to make money because every time they move the cards around, somebody's skimming.' Bushnell highlighted the gender disparity, pointing out that only about 3.5 percent of women in the top 1 percent made their own money, which she finds shocking.
