For six seasons, Sex and the City ruled pop culture. People were enamored with Carrie Bradshaw and her crew of friends who were navigating fashion and sex in New York City, and all these years later, the powers that be revamped the cast for the reboot, And Just Like That. Chris Noth portrayed the famous "Mr. Big" character in both versions of the series, but on the heels of the reboot's premiere, he has been hit with accusations of sexual assault.
The 67-year-old actor has denied the allegations against that include at least two women in addition to accusations of physically abusing ex-girlfriend and former supermodel Beverly Johnson decades ago.
According to Deadline, Noth issued a statement calling the incidents "consensual," adding “the accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false." He recently starred in a Peleton commercial that also featured Ryan Reynolds as they gave a nod to an And Just Like That scene, but as soon as the accusations hit the internet, the ad was pulled.
First reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the claims involve a rape in Los Angeles in 2004 and a rape in New York City in 2015.
Additionally, it has also been reported that Noth has been dropped from his agency, A3, just three months after signing with them. The Daily Beast also reported on Beverly Johnson's allegations against Noth back in 1995 as court documents allegedly detailed her version of events. According to the model, she dated Noth from 1990 to 1995, but when things went sour, Johnson stated the actor "beat her," "vowed to kill her dog," and called her "25 times a day."
She also claimed that he would get angry if she spoke with other men and punched her "over and over. " Johnson reportedly filed a restraining order against him because her family feared that Noth would kill her "if she didn't take action." Noth has not addressed those resurfaced documents.
