Rosie O’Donnell Plays Nun Named Mary Losing Her Virginity To A Woman In ‘Sex And The City’ Spinoff

The “Sex and the City” spinoff Max series “And Just Like That” is getting some negative reactions from a storyline it added featuring Rosie O’Donnell playing a nun named Mary who loses her virginity to Miranda (Cynthia Nixon).

The episode “Outlook Good,” which premiered on Thursday, included the story of Miranda meeting a tourist named Mary (O’Donnell) at a lesbian bar in New York City. The women decide to head to Mary’s hotel room to engage in sexual activities, per People. 

Mary told Miranda she’s “amazing.” 

“I’ve never experienced anything like that,” Mary said. “Oh, you are really, really something. It felt so, I don’t know, electric, and yet, still so natural,” she continued. “I never dreamed my first time could be both those things.” 

“First time?” Miranda asked. “So then, this was your first time with a woman?”

“This is my first time with anyone. I’m a virgin. Well, I was a virgin,” Mary said before revealing that she’s a nun.

Later, Miranda recalls what happened while discussing the incident with her friend Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker). 

“In my defense, Mary never mentioned she was a nun. And she was dressed like a regular lesbian… In fact, she didn’t mention it until right after she told me she was a virgin,” Miranda said. 

“So, you deflowered the Virgin Mary?” Carrie joked.

Miranda spent the rest of the episode trying to avoid Mary, who kept trying to contact her. Finally, she said, “So, I gather you’re at the beginning of a new journey, and I know how that is because I just got off a crazy chapter myself. But don’t do anything solely based on what you’re feeling right now.” 

“Don’t leave God for me,” Miranda said, to which Mary replied, “Miranda, I would never leave God. We’re married.”

Reactions to the episode focused on O’Donnell’s involvement and the cringeworthy factor of the storyline.

“OK, my wife and I made it 23 minutes, 39 seconds into episode 1 of season 3 of #AndJustLikeThat,” one person wrote. “The big hat! The Virgin Rosie O’Donnell nun! Charlotte’s bratty daughters who can’t give Anthony a hug! I’m done! This is a hollow, unwatchable, pretentious bore.”

“I am… disgusted,” another person posted via meme, referencing the O’Donnell/Miranda scenes. 

“Ridiculous!” another commenter echoed, while another person said “they’ve outdone themselves” after featuring Miranda in a relationship with Che (Sara Ramirez), a non-binary character from last season.
