Warning: this article describes sexual assault.

Chris Noth’s Sex And The City co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis have issued a joint statement following the mounting allegations of sexual assault against him.

Last week, two women, Zoe*, now 40, Lily*, now 31, alleged that they were sexually assaulted by Sex And The City actor Chris Noth, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On 17 December, a third accusation was made. In a report published by the Daily Beast, a woman who used the pseudonym Ava* alleged that the actor had sexually assaulted her while she was working at a restaurant.

The women, who reportedly approached the outlet separately, months apart, and who do not know each other, stated that press around HBO Max’s new SATC sequel series, And Just Like That, which sees Noth reprise his role as Mr Big, brought back painful memories, prompting them to come forward.

In a statement posted to Instagram, Parker, Nixon and Davis wrote: “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. 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,” they added.
