5 shady, dramatic, and absolutely justified reasons why And Just Like That needs a little less Lisa Todd Wexley and a whole lot more Jennifer Hudson. Yes, we're going there.
Oh, we’re doing this. And Just Like That, I need a moment, a mimosa, and a prayer circle because... can we talk? Like, really talk? Nicole Ari Parker is stunning, she is that girl—yes, the hair is laid and the wardrobe is giving Upper East Side glam on steroids. BUT. Can we please trade in all that buttoned-up brunch energy for the soulful, unpredictable magic of Jennifer Hudson?
I said what I said. And now I’m gonna say it five more ways.
---
1. Lisa Todd Wexley Feels Like a Pinterest Board Come to Life — Not a Person.
Every time Lisa enters the scene, it's like Vogue and Architectural Digest had a baby that only speaks in dinner party monologues. Don’t get me wrong, she’s beautiful. But where’s the grit? The juice? The “girl, let me tell you what happened last night!” J-Hud would bring that! She could stroll into a scene singing “Spotlight” while dragging a Birkin and some poor man’s dignity behind her.

2. Jennifer Hudson Already Has Sex and the City DNA.
Let’s not forget she played Louise from St. Louis in the SATC movie. She carried Carrie’s bags and gave the only scene with soul. Let that woman finish what she started! Reboot her character, give her a boutique PR agency, a chaotic dating life, and a walk-in closet full of secrets. Boom. Instant Emmy buzz.

3. We Need Someone Who Can Clap Back, Not Just Clink Glasses.
Lisa Todd Wexley be at these brunches like, “Let’s toast to legacy!” No, girl—toast to the man who ghosted you after you gave him three kids and a TED Talk! J-Hud would not be holding her tongue. She would’ve had that brunch flipped like a Real Housewife, dragging Carrie and Seema for filth before dessert.

4. Nicole’s Storylines Are Giving… PowerPoint Presentation.
I don’t know who keeps writing Lisa like she’s running for student council president, but enough! J-Hud could give us singing in the kitchen, fighting with her man on the sidewalk, and throwing shade with a side of sweet potato pie. We don’t need another fundraiser episode—we need drama that ends with a run-in at Whole Foods.
---
5. We Want Range. We Want Chaos. We Want Church Vocals at the Divorce Hearing.
Jennifer Hudson brings range. She can cry, cuss, sing, and praise dance in a single scene. Imagine her hitting a high note while tossing a glass of champagne in some man’s face for ghosting her on Valentine's Day. Meanwhile, Nicole Ari Parker is still giving “concerned mother who needs to check her calendar.”
Final Thought:
I don’t say this out of shade… okay, maybe a little shade. But it's time to remix the vibes. Let Nicole Ari Parker slay red carpets, absolutely. But on-screen? We need a little less style and a little more substance. Give us Jennifer Hudson: messy, melodic, magnetic.
Because And Just Like That, the reboot needs a reboot.

Now, I’m curious:
Would you swap Nicole Ari Parker for J-Hud? Or keep both and start some drama? Drop your thoughts below, and let the shade parade begin 🥂💅🏾
