Noth ‘punched’ model in ’95

-

CHRIS Noth’s ex-girlfriend Beverly Johnson once filed to get a restrainin­g order against the actor, claiming he “punched [her] in the chest and ribs” and allegedly made repeated threats to “kill” her.

Court docs obtained by Page Six reveal that Johnson — who dated the now-embattled actor from 1990 to 1995 — filed for the temporary restrainin­g order in LA Superior Court on Aug. 1, 1995, requesting Noth stay 500 yards away from her, her daughter and their dog.

“Chris Noth punched me in the chest and ribs, injuring my ribs, making it difficult to breathe, punching and bruising my face and body in which I had to have medical attention,” the model alleged in the docs. “On July 27, 1995, he made repeated threats on my life, making up to 25 calls per day threatenin­g to kill me, destroy my face. Threatened to kill dog.”

Johnson also asked the judge to order Noth — who was recently accused of sexual assault by three women following his appearance on the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That” — to “make no calls to others with threats against me. Restrainin­g from slandering my character + good name.”

The judge approved the temporary restrainin­g order and on Oct. 3, 1995, the order was made permanent with a mutual restrainin­g order. “Neither party shall make any derogatory statements about the other,” the judge wrote in the order.

Both Noth and Johnson agreed not to “contact, molest, attack, strike, threaten, sexually assault, batter, telephone or disturb the peace of the other.” They also agreed to stay at least 500 yards from each other.

The docs did not include an expiration date for the permanent restrainin­g order. The court docket states the case was closed May 26, 2017.

Reps for Noth and Johnson did not return requests for comment.

Noth has “categorica­lly” denied the new allegation­s against him.
