Chris Noth Denies He Felt “Iced Out” by ‘Sex and the City’ Costars

Chris Noth, who was accused of sexual assault in 2021, would like you to know that he did not feel mistreated by his costars in the wake of the allegations. The actor, who played Mr. Big in six seasons of Sex and the City, two SATC movies, and one episode of And Just Like That—before his character succumbed to death via Peloton—took to social media to combat a New York Post report aggregated from a Radar Online exclusive that claimed the actor felt “iced out” by Sarah Jessica Parker and company following the assault allegations, with Noth calling the report “absolute nonsense.” (Vanity Fair has reached out to the Post for comment.)

“I usually don’t respond to this kind of thing,” wrote Noth on Instagram. “And I do know that people like drama and gossip… but this article by Samantha Ibrahim is absolute nonsense. Just thought you’d like to know.”

Shortly after the series premiere of And Just Like That, Noth was accused of sexual assault by two women, who alleged that the incidents took place in 2004 and 2015. Noth was never charged with any crime and has repeatedly maintained his innocence, saying in a statement at the time that the “encounters were consensual” and he “did not assault these women.”

After the allegations surfaced, Sex and the City stars Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis addressed them in a joint statement posted to Instagram. “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth,” read the statement. “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.” According to sources who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, Noth was supposed to cameo in And Just Like That’s season one finale; after he was accused of assault, his appearance was reportedly cut out of the episode.  

The Radar Online exclusive on which the Post report was based alleged that Noth was salty about being excommunicated from the world of Sex and the City. “Sources told radaronline.com that [Noth] feels SJP and the others owe him an apology for the ‘rude behavior’ he has endured,” Radar Online wrote. According to the outlet, a source claimed that Noth is no longer invited to the cast’s parties, adding that he does not receive “greeting cards or happy birthday texts.” “He wonders why SJP and her troupe continue to leave him out in the cold,” the source told Radar Online. The New York Post report did not include any original reporting pertaining to Noth or And Just Like That.  

While Noth may or may not be over his swift departure from the Sex and the City franchise, And Just Like That has certainly moved on without him. Carrie’s other major love interest, Aidan Shaw, played by John Corbett, will return in season two, reportedly for a multi-episode arc. Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones is also set to appear in a single And Just Like That scene, which will reportedly be part of the season two finale.
