Chris Noth Scenes Cut From ‘And Just Like That’ Following Sexual Assault Allegations
[Warning: The below contains spoilers for the And Just Like That finale episode.]
Chris Noth will not appear in the upcoming finale of HBO Max‘s And Just Like That as the streamer has removed the actor from the show following accusations of sexual assault.
As first reported by TVLine, Noth has been scrubbed from the finale of the Sex and the City revival, which will air on February 3. According to reports, Noth’s character, Mr. Big, was set to feature in a fantasy sequence where Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) reunites with her former lover while scattering his ashes at Paris’ Seine River.
Mr. Big was killed off in the first episode of And Just Like That after suffering a heart attack following a workout on a Peloton. The character’s surprise death was planned well before the allegations of sexual assault came to light.
The creative team behind And Just Like That are said to have decided that the footage Noth had filmed with Parker in Paris was not significant enough to the narrative and could be cut without changing the overall purpose of the scene, which is about Carrie finding closure.
In December, two women spoke to The Hollywood Reporter with claims of sexual assault against Noth. A further three women came forward in the proceeding weeks with similar accusations.
“The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false,” Noth said in a statement following the first two accusations. “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.”
Noth was recently dropped from his starring role on the CBS crime drama The Equalizer, with his final appearance taking place this past Sunday. In addition, a Peloton commercial starring Noth, which poked fun at his And Just Like That death, was also pulled following the allegations.

How about we stop this madness of canceling someone BEFORE it’s proven. What if your son was accused of such horrendous charges and it was false? Ever heard of the Duke Lacrosse Team case. Just awful! Evil

I agree! It’s just not the same. I’m not watching any more. I saw 1 and 2 and if he isn’t allowed to be included in this….forget about it! I’ll just watch the old ones and the two movies. He was really important to SJP in the whole series and movies. Just like removing several actors from Hallmark, etc because they paid to get their kids in school. People were doing that when I was 15…….I’m now 72. I don’t live with these people, etc. We don’t know if Chris even did anything! It is so stupid! You guys enjoy it. I’ll just enjoy the past. Really stupid! You ruined it for me.

He's literally living the phrase/movie title "And Just Like That"....and just like that, he lost his movie, his endorsement, and his regular paying gig...without proof of guilt.

Just because the accuser is a woman does not mean it's automatically true. Stop this madness now!!!!

Innocent until proved guilty. To condemn someone due to an "accusation" without substantiation is ludicrous. The whole "Me Too" movement has taken on a life of its own, and basically everyone wants to get on the bandwagon.

These women that made these statements where is their proof that he has sexually assaulted them or took advantage of them. We just have people saying something with nothing to back it up if there is I haven't seen anything in the news or the papers saying so. And I'm totally appalled that Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon, Ms Davis just bailed on Mr North after all these years of working with him and they just so nonchalantly just say okay we take these women at their word and if it is true that he's done this this means that they hit it themselves if they knew about it and shame on them if they knew about it and he was doing this all these years on sex in the City

This crap is sad. They already convicted him without any proof or trial. If they didn't say anything back then why say it now. This smells like a set up.

I wonder if these were sexual encounters that were maybe unwanted yet the women went along but didn’t actually say “no”. Which isn’t rape, rather bad judgment or bad decision. When older and wiser they realize they let it go further than wanted-then they feel guilty and vindictive? Since metoo there seems to be a fine line sometimes about what consent is, or isn’t

I think we have to consider everything before making any judgements. Unsubstantiated claims versus multiple women who have not spoken with the same things that happened with the same person shows a pattern of a predator

KARMA! What is done in the dark will always come out in the light. All it takes is one brave person to finally speak up then the rest follow.

True why do these people wait years to say anything it just makes no sense

You can’t feel safe watching law and order because of a character and not because the majority of stories on there are true or come from real cases? You are ludicrous and stupid and should just keep your opinions to yourself

Women lie too. It's unfortunate and damaging for those women who have been violated but true. I believe in innocent until proven guilty and shame on all who don't. That could be ur father, brother, son, uncle..... so for u to say even if he's proven to be innocent he should never work again.....man take a back seat Karen. Now if he is proven to be guilty and truly is then that's when he should have lost everything not now.

Maybe kim was right. The show team and SJ are hypocrite. They dropped their people in a snap. How sad. I have no willingness to continue watching the show after the 1st episode.

To me it seems like a money grab I experienced sexual harassment and assault and I addressed it immediately with the person and I didn't wait 10 or 20 years to have a come out just like the me-too movement all that stuff is wrong if you don't take care of it right away you know I don't know that the statue of limitations falls into play but it damn well should because it if you experience that stuff and you don't handle it right away it looks bad on the person who got assaulted. I do believe in to my parents but that's usually short-term and Karma comes afterwards but not 20 years later that's just plain wrong

I used to like Law and Order, but I can no longer feel safe watching it because of him. Even if he turns out to be innocent, I believe cutting his scene are the right thing to do, and I also hope he never finds work again. We need to start believing all women.
