Chris Noth, who is best known for his role as Mr.Big in Sex In The City, was accused of sexual assault by two separate women in 2021.
Noth denied the allegations, releasing a statement that read, "The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. 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. The encounters were consensual. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women."
However, the decision was made to fire Chris from The Equalizer. His co-star, Queen Latifah, spoke out following his exit.
"It's still surreal. It is such a dicey, delicate situation that requires a great deal of respect," she told Entertainment Weekly. "That's a personal thing that he's going to have to deal with."
The actor was also cut from the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That... However, that has not fans from supporting the CBS series and tuning in to see Queen Latifah as "The Equalizer." Earlier this year, the show was renewed for a fourth season!
Watch The Equalizer on Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
