In a recent announcement, Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, revealed that she will not be receiving royalties from Netflix for the show's move to the streaming platform. As she expressed her frustration, Bushnell lamented about how she believes the way men conduct business resembles a Ponzi scheme.
Bushnell's journey with Sex and the City began back in 1994 when she published her first column in The New York Observer. She then went on to sell the screen rights to HBO for $100,000 in the 90s. The television series, which premiered in 1998 and ran for six seasons until 2004, was later followed by two movies and a spinoff series called And Just Like That, currently in production for its third season.
