Sarah Jessica Parker slams tabloid, denies ‘screaming match’ with Matthew Broderick
Sarah Jessica Parker is fighting back against a potential tabloid story about her relationship with her husband, Matthew Broderick, calling it “untrue, disgraceful nonsense.”
On Thursday, the 54-year-old actress shared a screenshot on Instagram of what appears to be an email from the National Enquirer tabloid, requesting Parker’s comment on a forthcoming story about how she and Broderick were “caught on camera in a public screaming match” that occurred during a trip to London “just days before their 22nd wedding anniversary.”
In a lengthy caption, Parker denied that the fight ever happened, and criticized the tabloid for pursuing a negative story about their relationship, instead of celebrating their enduring marriage.
“As usual, days ahead of our anniversary on May 19th, The National Enquirer is making its annual best effort to fabricate and undermine, this time a blissful 4 days with my husband in London,” she wrote. “There was no “screaming match” as alleged in a restaurant or on the street, nor was there a confrontation as alleged about his time in London. My children and I are enormously proud of the work he is doing.”
“Hey National Enquirer and your sister publications, why not celebrate a marriage of 22 years and relationship of 27 years?” she added. “Because, despite your endless harassment and wasted ink, we are nearing 3 decades of love, commitment, respect, family and home.”
“There’s your “scoop” From a “reliable source”.#tabloidharassment” she finished.

Just like clockwork. Over a decade of the same untrue, disgraceful nonsense. As usual, days ahead of our anniversary on May 19th, The National Enquirer is making its annual best effort to fabricate and undermine, this time a blissful 4 days with my husband in London. There was no "screaming match" as alleged in a restaurant or on the street, nor was there a confrontation as alleged about his time in London. My children and I are enormously proud of the work he is doing. After much thought I have decided to share a typical letter of "inquiry" from these people. As if the truth, a response or any comments from me or my publicist had any bearing on what they threaten to "report" . Hey National Enquirer and your sister publications, why not celebrate a marriage of 22 years and relationship of 27 years? Because, despite your endless harassment and wasted ink, we are nearing 3 decades of love, commitment, respect, family and home. There's your "scoop" From a "reliable source". #tabloidharassment

Parker, who celebrates her anniversary on May 19, was greeted with praise in the comments from many fellow celebrities, with Gwyneth Paltrow commenting, “This is brilliant. And happy anniversary.”
Willie Garson, who played Carrie’s friend Stanford on “Sex and the City,” also cheered her on.
“Dear National Enquirer: This loving family takes care of each other, are terrific friends to many, and support us and each other unconditionally,” he wrote. “I speak to Mrs almost daily, and Mr quite often as well. Oh, the horror! Perhaps find another punching bag, or someone else to lie about.”
