Sarah Jessica Parker cuts ties with EpiPen after price hike
Source: Associated Press via KOMO news, Seattle
NEW YORK (AP) Saying she is "disappointed, saddened and deeply concerned" by the price hike of the EpiPen, actress Sarah Jessica Parker has cut ties with the company that makes the emergency allergy treatment.
Parker, whose 13-year-old son James has severe peanut and hazelnut allergies, was part of a short campaign with pharmaceutical giant Mylan N.V., maker of the EpiPen. She was never a spokeswoman.
The company is facing heated criticism about the average cost of the EpiPen climbing more than 600 percent over the past decade.
Parker took to Instagram on Thursday to distance herself from the company and urged it to "take swift action to lower the cost to be more affordable for whom it is a life-saving necessity."

Sarah is 1/3rd the second and 2/3rd the 3rds. She has it!
To repeat: My wife and i BOTH use talk about TV and movie people with those terms and it applies to both genders.

Your post is an epic fail.

Do you really think this is silly?
And isn't it time to retire the damn "horse face" slur?
What did SJP ever do to you?

Frankly, MOST of us women don't have a "perfect" face or nose, or much else. She also looks REAL, not airbrushed. We can't all be Gisele Bundchen. Sarah Jessica Parker is one for the rest of us.
