Andy Cohenis standing up for his close friendSarah Jessica Parker.

During his Thursday appearance onThe Drew Barrymore Show, Cohen, 53, discussed Parker, 56, slamming criticism of her gray hair, which was sparked after the actress andWatch What Happens Livehost were spotted out at lunch in New York City.

Speaking with Barrymore, Cohen — who noted that he himself has “white hair” — shared: “She’s sitting next to me… and all the articles [are] ‘Sarah Jessica Parker, she’s going gray, she looks old.’ It was insanity. People just missed the mark totally.”

Cohen asserted, “It was misogynistic, and she was so right.”

“I think this newSex and the Cityiteration is going to be quite revolutionary because from what I understand, it’s going to show the women living vibrantly in their 50s and at this stage in their lives. She’s not going to be running around in a tutu and high heels, they are going to be living in their 50s as beautiful women. I think it’s going to be a wonderful message.

In her cover story forVogue’s December issue, Parker recalled stirring the internet into a frenzy when she was photographed dining with Cohen.

“There’s so much misogynist chatter… I’m sitting withAndy Cohen, and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite. Why is it okay for him?” Parker said toVogue.
