Less than two years after he was accused of sexual assault, Chris Noth is firing again towards claims that he feels “iced out” by his former Sex and the City and And Just Like That… co-stars.
The actor, 68, who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw’s longtime love Mr. Big within the beloved franchise, took to Instagram over the weekend to refute a New York Post article that claimed longtime cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis had pushed him out of their inside circle.
“I usually don’t respond to this kind of thing,” Noth captioned a screenshot from the unique Post piece, which cited a Radar Online story. “And I do know that people like drama and gossip … but this article … is absolute nonsense. Just thought you’d like to know.”
The piece claimed Noth believes his former co-stars “owe him an apology for the rude behavior” he has skilled after he was accused of sexual assault by two ladies in a 2021 article revealed in The Hollywood Reporter. “He’s not invited to their events. He doesn’t get greeting playing cards or glad birthday texts. He wonders why SJP [Parker] and her troupe proceed to go away him out within the chilly,” the Radar post claims.
The allegations against Noth were made public shortly after the AJLT Season 1 premiere, which featured a pivotal storyline regarding his character, hit TV screens. The show recently returned to Max for a second season.
Shortly after the story’s publication, Noth denied the claims of abuse in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment.
“The accusations towards me made by people I met years, even a long time, in the past are categorically false,” he said. “These tales may’ve been from 30 years in the past or 30 days in the past — no at all times means no — that may be a line I didn’t cross. The encounters have been consensual. It’s troublesome to not query the timing of those tales popping out. I do not know for sure why they’re surfacing now, however I do know this: I didn’t assault these ladies.”
He was subsequently accused of “poisonous” behavior on the set of Sex and the City by a former stand-in actress, while actress Zoe Lister-Jones claimed Noth engaged in “sexually inappropriate” behavior during her guest appearance on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
Just hours after Noth was fired from his current TV show, The Equalizer, and his Peloton ad was dropped, his former SATC co-stars made a joint statement on social media saying they were “deeply saddened to listen to the allegations towards” him, Yahoo Entertainment reported.
“We assist the ladies who’ve come ahead and shared their painful experiences. We understand it should be a really troublesome factor to do and we commend them for it,” the actresses added.
Five months after the allegations surfaced, Parker confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she hadn’t spoken to Noth since.
“I do not even know if I’m prepared to speak about it, however I do not suppose … I wasn’t reacting as a producer. I ought to have labored on this as a result of I’m simply … it is simply …” she mentioned, finally trailing off.
