If New York is dead, then what killed it? Julian Casablancas blamed brunch. Sean Hannity left the city for Florida after complaining about income tax. And just before plunging to her death from a high-rise window, Sex and the City’s (fictional) party girl Lexi Featherston ranted about how everything started to go wrong in New York after they banned smoking in bars.

This week, Chloë Sevigny, longtime cool girl of downtown Manhattan, added another theory to the list. While promoting the new Ryan Murphy series Feud: Capote and the Swans, Sevigny told Rolling Stone that it’s all dogs’ fault.
