Chris Noth has fired a social-media broadside at his former Sex and the City co-star days after she accepted a major television honor.
Award Night and Aftermath
Sarah Jessica Parker, 60, received the Carol Burnett Award during the January 6 CBS-Paramount special Golden Eve, saluting her lifetime achievement in television. Three days later Noth, 71, posted a gym selfie captioned “F&@k new years – LETS GO!!!!”
A follower commented, “You mean fcuk sjp & her award right? lol.” Noth answered simply: “right.”
The exchange ignited comment-section fireworks:
- “WHAT DID I MISS SOMETHING 😭😭😭😭”
- “LMFAOOOO WOAH?????😭”
- “He’s just bitter that they [wrote] him off the show,” one defender of Parker wrote.
Edited Out
Noth’s Mr. Big appeared only in the premiere of And Just Like That…, dying in a Peloton-fueled plot twist. Producers scrapped a planned season-one finale cameo-reportedly a Paris scene shot with Parker-after multiple women accused him of sexual assault in late 2021.
According to News Of Losangeles, TV Line confirmed at the time that the footage “will not make it to air.”
Allegations and Denials
The Hollywood Reporter published claims from two women:
- Woman one says she met Noth in 2004 when she was 22
- Woman two says she met him in 2015 when she was 25
A third woman told the Daily Beast she was 18 when Noth allegedly assaulted her in 2010.
Noth, married to Tara Wilson since 2012, called the claims “categorically false,” insisting the “encounters were consensual.”
“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,” he said. “I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”
A representative dismissed the third accusation as “a complete fabrication” and “a piece of bad fiction.”
Co-Stars Respond
Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis issued a joint statement saying they were “deeply saddened to hear” the allegations.
“We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.”
2023 Reflection
Speaking to USA Today in 2023, Noth admitted he “strayed on my wife, and it’s devastating to her,” but maintained “what it isn’t is a crime.”
“You give yourself the same excuses that many men do; it’s just a little side dance, and it’s fun,” he said. “You’re not hurting anybody. No one’s going to know about this, you know, and sex is just enjoyable. And suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you. It’s like, ‘Well, I’m not going to get this chance again.'”
Key Takeaways
- Noth’s single-word Instagram reply undercuts any pretense of cordiality toward Parker
- The controversy rekindles attention on both the assault allegations and his reduced role in the franchise
- Parker has not publicly responded to Noth’s latest dig
