Less than two years after being charged with sexual assault, Chris Noth is hitting back at claims he feels ‘chilled’ by his former sex and the city And And just like that… co-stars.
The 68-year-old actor, who played Carrie Bradshaw’s longtime love interest Mr. Big in 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 pushed him out of their inner circle.
“I don’t usually respond to this stuff,” Noth captioned a screenshot of the original. Job piece, which quoted a Speed cameras online history. “And I know people like drama and gossip…but this article…is absolute nonsense. I just thought you’d like to know.
The article claimed that Noth believed his former co-stars “owe him an apology for the rude behavior” he suffered after being accused of sexual assault by two women in a 2021 article published in The Hollywood Reporter. “He’s not invited to their parties. He does not receive greeting cards or happy birthday text messages. He wonders why SJP [Parker] and his troop keep leaving him out in the cold,” Radar post complaints.
The allegations against Noth were made public shortly after the AJLT The Season 1 premiere, which featured a pivotal storyline regarding her character, hit TV screens. The show recently returned to Max for a second season.
Shortly after the story was published, Noth denied the abuse allegations in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment.
“The accusations made against me by people I met years, if not decades ago, are categorically false,” he said. “These stories could have been from 30 years or 30 days ago – no always means no – that’s a line I didn’t cross. The encounters were consensual. It’s hard not to question the when these stories came out. I don’t know for sure why they’re surfacing now, but I do know this: I didn’t assault these women.”
He was later accused of “toxic” 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 appearance on Law & Order: criminal intent.
Just hours after Noth was fired from his current TV show, The equalizerand his Peloton ad was dropped, his former SATC The co-stars issued a joint statement on social media saying they were “deeply saddened to hear the allegations made against him,” Yahoo Entertainment reported.
“We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know this must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it,” the actresses added.
Five months after the allegations surfaced, Parker confirmed The Hollywood Reporter that she hadn’t spoken to Noth since.
“I don’t even know if I’m ready to talk about it, but I don’t think…that I wasn’t reacting as a producer. I should have worked on that because I’m just…it’ is just…” she says, finally stopping.
