All quiet on the Noth-ern front

-

Sarah Jessica Parker hasn't spoken to Chris Noth since allegation­s of sexual assault were made against him by several women.

The pair played couple Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big in Sex and the City, the two spinoff movies, and the recent reboot And Just Like That ..., until the accusation­s were brought to light, and Noth's character was killed off in one episode of the latter series.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Parker admitted she's not ready to discuss the allegation­s but she confirmed she's not spoken to her former co-star since.

The 57-year-old actress — who is also executive producer of And Just Like That ... — said: “I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it, but I don't think ... I wasn't reacting as a producer.”

Then asked if she'd been in contact with Noth, she replied: “No.”

Parker and her co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis released a joint statement at the time, in which they said they had been left “deeply saddened” by the allegation­s and praised his accusers for having the strength to speak out.

Two women came forward to The Hollywood Reporter to allege they had been sexually assaulted by the 67-year-old actor.

A woman, identified only as Zoe, alleged he had “raped her from behind” in 2004 when she was just 22, and another known as Lily claimed she was 25 and had a dinner date with the actor in New York before he allegedly assaulted her in 2015. The Daily Beast then published an account from a female tech executive who alleged Noth had sexually assaulted her in 2010 at a New York City restaurant where she worked as a hostess and lounge singer.

The actor — who was also fired from The Equalizer and dropped by his talent agency after the claims — has denied the allegation­s.
