Creating quite a stir. As fans weigh in on the character of Che Diaz in And Just Like That, the Sex and the City revival series, Sara Ramirez opened up about how they have handled the more negative feedback.
“I’m very aware of the hate that exists online, but I have to protect my own mental health and my own artistry. And that’s way more important to me because I’m a real human being,” Ramirez, 46, who uses they/them pronouns, explained to The New York Times on Wednesday, February 2. “I’m really proud of the representation that we’ve created. We have built a character who is a human being, who is imperfect, who’s complex, who is not here to be liked, who’s not here for anybody’s approval. They’re here to be themselves.”
The Grey’s Anatomy alum’s presence on HBO Max’s And Just Like That immediately created a conversation between viewers about the character’s likability. Things took a turn for the worst when sparks started to fly between Che and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). Fans who watched the original series, which ran from 1998 to 2004, weren’t thrilled to see Miranda cheating on her husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) while exploring her sexuality.
Ramirez noted that although they were “not in control of the writing,” they found that the story line reflects other people’s lived experiences.
“I welcome the passion that folks are bringing to the table around this representation. But in real life, there are a lot of different human beings who show up to the table, speaking truth to power in myriad ways,” the Mexico native added on Wednesday. “And they all land differently with different people. And Che Diaz has their own audience that they speak to who really get a kick out of what they’re doing.”
