The final act. The And Just Like That creative team has reportedly made the decision to remove an upcoming cameo of Chris Noth after the actor was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
According to TVLine, Noth, 67, was slated to appear in one more episode of the Sex and the City revival next month: the season 1 finale. The scene was meant to mark Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) finding closure following the death of her husband, Mr. Big. The pivotal moment was set to happen in Paris, France, where Noth and Parker, 56, were previously photographed filming scenes for the series.
The news comes one month after several women came forward with allegations against the Law & Order alum, telling The Hollywood Reporter that they were triggered by recent promotion for And Just Like That. One woman, who used the name Zoe in the story, claimed that Noth “rape[d] her from behind” in 2004 shortly after she met him through her job at a high-profile firm that dealt with celebrity clients.
The second woman, Lily, allegedly met the actor in 2015 when she was 25. She claimed that Noth assaulted her in his New York City apartment after a night of drinking.
After the report was published, the Wisconsin native denied the allegations in a statement to Us Weekly. “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false,” he said on December 16. “These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”
