"The most unsavory things have been done," she continued. "She's had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she's had threats against her and true harassment… She's had friends threatened and family threatened and she's had family of friends threatened."
A pregnant friend of the surrogate was also chased by the paparazzi, Sarah Jessica claims.
"She's had a friend who was thought to be her chased down a highway… This friend is nine months pregnant — chased down a highway by photographers and dare I call them ‘reporters.' I guess that's how they identify themselves," she said. "It's crossed lines… Pretty much all the lines have been crossed."
"Is she physically healthy and OK?" Billy asked of the surrogate.
"She is today, but she's had a bad week in the very recent past… You understand what stress, worry and fear and being scared can do," Sarah Jessica said. "She's quite far along in this pregnancy and she's carrying two children…. There's simply no excuse for doing this to somebody. It's not acceptable."
And despite headlines like "SJP's Surrogate Revealed! The Troubled Life of the Woman Having Her Twins," that came out in Star magazine, Sarah Jessica said she is happy with the woman they chose to carry the twins.
"I'm beyond comfortable with who she is," Sarah Jessica said. "We haven't been reckless, we haven't been cavalier. She hasn't been reckless…. Every single allegation that I know has been suggested about her is absolutely slander, and libel.
"Obviously there are those that don't care about her, or her health, or safety, or my children's health and safety, and that they should go to term and not go into an early labor and, god forbid, suffer all the things that can happen — that is a real possibly," she added.
"It must keep you up at night," Billy suggested.
"It keeps me up every night," Sarah Jessica said. "It's really incredibly upsetting to think of her so far away and me not being able to do something, beyond what I'm legally allowed to do."
When contacted by Access Hollywood, Star magazine claims that much of the information from their stories was posted online – including on MySpace — by the surrogate herself. They additionally claim they contacted her for comment as is their normal practice.
"Star denies that it used any unfair tactics in getting information for the article about Sarah Jessica Parker's surrogate," the mag said in a statement to Access.
