Actor Chris Noth is fired from the new series after allegations of sexual assault by several women
Chris Noth, who is known as one of the stars of "Sex and the city" has been fired from the CBS drama/crime series, "The Equalizer", after allegations of sexual assault were made against him.
"Chris Noth will no longer be filming any more episodes of 'The Equalizer,' effective immediately," Universal Television and CBS said in a statement obtained by Deadline, write Dailymail.
Noth, 67, will reportedly appear in an upcoming episode of the series, which is already seven episodes into its second season. Nothing has appeared in the series since 2021.
The Equalizer tells the story of Queen Latifah and follows 'an enigmatic figure who uses her vast abilities to help those who have nowhere to turn.'
Last week, Noth, 67, was accused of rape by two women, both of whom shared details of their alleged assaults with the medium. The Hollywood Reporter — with one of the women saying she was just 22 when Noth, then 49, sexually assaulted her.
The reporting led to another woman coming forward to accuse Noth of groping her, while actress Zoe Lister-Jones recalled the behavior leading her to describe him as a 'predator'.
Both accusers in the reporting THR claimed Noth had sex with them from behind in front of a mirror, with the first assault allegedly taking place in 2004, while the second allegedly took place in 2015, three years after Noth married his wife, Tara Wilson , with whom he has two children.
Both women also claim the assaults took place at one of Noth's homes — the first at his Los Angeles apartment and the second at his New York property — after the actor invited them over.
Both women claim that recent publicity surrounding the Sex and the City reboot has 'brought back painful memories' of their encounters with Noth, who has been in the news a lot in the past week as a result of his shocking death. of his character, Mr. Big, in the first episode of the new series.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Noth, who has two sons with Wilson – Keats and Orion – admitted he had 'consensual encounters' with the two women in the Hollywood Reporter story, which reportedly took place while he was in a relationship with his wife, but he denied with force any accusation that he had sexually assaulted them.
"The accusations against me made by individuals I have met over the years, even decades ago, are categorically false," the statement said.
“These stories could have been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago – no always means no – that's a line I didn't cross. The meetings were consensual," said the actor.
"It's hard not to question the timing of these stories. "I don't know for sure why they're coming to the surface now, but I do know this: I didn't attack these women," Noth added.
On Friday, a third woman came forward and accused Noth of groping her at a Manhattan restaurant in 2010 when she was 18.
The unnamed 30-year-old Canadian claimed Noth, then 55, repeatedly hugged her while she was working as a hostess at Da Marino restaurant in Midtown, The Daily Beast first reported.
She claims Noth pulled her tights and touched her and grabbed her so hard that after he managed to push her away, 'her limbs hurt in the morning'.
He was also accused of beating and threatening to kill and disfigure his ex-girlfriend, supermodel Beverly Johnson, between 1990 and 1995, according to a resurfaced article that was posted online this week.
The bombastic statements have caused his agency, A3 Artists Agency, to fire him and an old friend of the actor told The Sun that Noth's wife, Tara Wilson, might not spend Christmas with him.
It also led to him losing a $12 million deal to sell his tequila brand.
Entertainment Arts Research, Inc., a Nevada-based liquor company that often buys into big-name liquor brands, said Sunday it is immediately ending discussions to buy Noth's Ambhar tequila.
"At this point in time it does not make sense for us to move forward with this agreement in light of the allegations, which should be taken with the utmost seriousness," EARI CEO Bernard Rubin said in a press release. "That being said, we continue to look for spirits brands that fit EARI's ethos of social responsibility," he emphasized.
The alleged incidents, however, have revealed that Noth had been unfaithful to Wilson, who he met in 2001 and married in 2012. The couple have two children: Orion, 13, and Keats, 18 months.
"If anything, he's guilty of it, [cheating]," an old friend of the star told the British tabloid The Sun.
“[Wilson] is in LA and she's very upset… she's not doing well. They planned to spend Christmas together, but that is not known now."
The friend added that all of Noth's friends stand by him and believe the allegations from the four women are false.
"He's a flirt, but not a pushover. He is not Weinstein," said his close friend. /Telegraph/
