SEX And The City’s Chris Noth has been accused of sexual misconduct by actress Zoe Lister-Jones after multiple women came forward with assault allegations.
Earlier this week, two women alleged the actor had sexually assault them – with one detailing the horrific rape that she claimed took place when she was in her early 20’s back in 2004.
After Chris, 67, vehemently denied the claims in a lengthy statement, another person has come forward with their own account of his alleged misconduct.
Life In Pieces actress Zoe Lister-Jones, 39, posted a note on Instagram on Thursday after she said a friend asked her how she “felt about Mr. Big’s death” on the new Sex And The City reboot, And Just Like That.
She wrote she felt “relieved” by the character’s passing because she “couldn’t separate the actor from the man, and the man is a sexual predator.”
Zoe then claimed: “In my twenties I worked at a club in NY that Chris Noth owned and on the few occasions he would show up, he was consistently sexually inappropriate with a fellow female promoter.
“That same year I was a guest star on Law and Order and it was his first episode returning as a detective after SATC. He was drunk on set.
“During my interrogation scene, he had a 22 oz. of beer under the table that he would drink in between takes.
“In on take, he got close to me, sniffed my neck and whispered ‘you smell good.’ I didn’t say anything. My friend at the club never said anything. It’s so rare that we do.”
She continued: “My experiences are small in comparison to the accounts of assault that have so bravely been shared today.
“But navigating predation at any level is a burden all women have to bear. And for the most part there is zero accountability, and no consequence.
“Chris both capitalized on the fantasy that women believed Mr. Big represented. And those fantasies often create environments where emotional confusion thrives.
“Perhaps Big’s death is the communal grief we must all face in mourning that fantasy, in releasing that male archetype we as women have been fed through popular culture, and confronting its dark and pervasive underbelly.”
Zoe concluded on one last scathing note: “F**k Mr. Big.”
HORRIFIC ALLEGATIONS
Earlier Thursday, news broke that a report had recently been filed with the LAPD about allegations of sexual assault from two women.
The women, identified only as Zoe, 40, and Lily, 31, approached The Hollywood Reporter with the claims, separately.
The alleged victims – who do not know each other – said the recent promotion of HBO Max’s Sex and the City sequel series And Just Like That stirred painful memories of the incidents, which they claim occurred in Los Angeles in 2004 and New York in 2015, respectively.
Zoe’s account claimed Chris raped her in 2004, despite her allegedly yelling “no” and that she left with “blood on her shirt” following the encounter.
The TV star responded to the claims in a statement to THR: “The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false.
“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.”
‘BLINDSIDED’
A source revealed to The Celeb Report that Chris was “completely baffled and blindsided” by the allegation depicted in the report.
LAPD has since announced Chris is “not under investigation at this point” for the sexual assault claims against him, police have revealed.
“There is no investigation at this point,” law enforcement told Deadline.
Following the claims coming to light, Peloton removed an ad that went viral earlier this week starring Chris.
The commercial was a spoof of his death scene in the SATC reboot that had Ryan Reynolds doing the voiceover.
