Nicole and Paris starred on The Simple Life for five seasons from 2003 to 2005. I saw it in a 2004 commercial
During the W interview, journalist Kyle Manchenrider asked about their 2005 feud and whether it was addressed in the reboot.
Nicole said: 'Will Smith and Aunt Viv don't need to sit down. I know that was a huge part for followers of The Simple Life. There was a whole season where we didn't film together.'
Adding: 'But our lives are tied together outside of it. Our relationship lasted almost 40 years. So for us, I think it's a bit of a stumbling block.
Paris replied: 'The media at that time was all about creating animosity between people, exaggerating and inventing stories to sell tabloids.'
She continued: 'The world is definitely making a bigger deal of it than it really is. Nicole and I have been best friends since we were two years old. She's like my sister.'

The feud came at the height of their fame – thanks to their reality series The Simple Life – which drove the socialites from their glamorous lives in Los Angeles to low-paying jobs around America.
Season one debuted on December 2, 2004, cementing their celebrity status.
Shoe's Fame debuted for a second season on June 16, 2004, and a third season on January 25, 2005.
Rumors began in April 2005 that childhood friends Paris and Nicole had a falling out after Paris said she wanted her friend Kimberly Stewart as her co-star.
Paris confirmed the feud in a statement after her Kimberly comments: 'It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did and I'm always going to tell her about it.'
At the time, A People told Insider Magazine that Nicole was jealous that Paris had been invited to Saturday Night Live in February 2005 and received more media attention than her.
The insider said Nicole screened Paris' 2003 sex tape at a party she threw, but Nicole's reps denied that happened.
Another source claims their feud was growing out of Nicole's wild child partying ways and wanting to spend time with her fiance Adam Goldstein.

Paris and Nicole primarily film the fourth separately; Filming took place in the summer of 2005.
In November 2005, Nicole addressed their feud during a Today Show appearance.
Nicole was asked about her friendship with Paris and said they 'fell apart' and the issue 'became something much bigger than this'.
Nicole added: 'It's not part of my life.
The star was asked if she would talk to Paris if they bumped into each other, to which Nicole said no.
A year later, in October 2006, Paris and Nicole were spotted enjoying dinner together.
In 2007, Nicole told Harper's Bazaar that they met and reconciled after Paris sent her an email for her 25th birthday.
Regarding Paris' comments to the press during their feud, Nicole told W magazine at the time: 'I can't talk to her about me. We were in a fight! Our struggle was framed by the press. Not even half of it is real.
Paris told W magazine at the time, 'There was no reason why we fought, it was funny. We believed what others said. People in this town are really two-faced, they tried to play us against each other. It upset me more than any breakup with a boyfriend. It was like the worst feeling ever.'
Season five (the final season) of The Simple Life aired in 2007, and the two finally got back together to film.
Their new and upcoming Simple Life reboot – Paris & Nicole: The Encore – is something the girls brought naturally.
In August, The Friends were filming the reboot at a Sonic Drive-In in California.
Nicole said she texted Paris over the holidays last year and mentioned to Nicole that it was the 20-year anniversary of The Simple Life.

Nicole jokingly asked her if she wanted to do anything to celebrate the 20 year anniversary.
'We gave it room to marinate and it was perfect. At first no one else was involved,' said Nicole.
Paris said it was the right time to reunite after so many years.
'Every time I'm with Nicole, I feel like we're young again,' Paris said.
During the upcoming reboot, Paris and Nicole stage an opera, which Nicole says comes from their inside jokes.
When they were seven years old, they wrote a song called Sanasa, a word that became a joke among them and was heard in simple life.
'Sanasa is an opera that people want, even if they don't know it yet.'
They joked that they are planning to have a better 50th anniversary celebration in the future.
On the upcoming show, Nicole said that she is excited to film the show with her friend and laugh and have fun together.

Paris said she and Nicole together were 'magic' and had 'so much history behind it'.
'For the opera, we invited hundreds of fans from all over the world to come and watch. “It's special to hear what impact Nicole and I have had on them,” Paris added.
