Chris Noth has stirred controversy once again by appearing to take a jab at his former co-star, Sarah Jessica Parker, following her recent accolade at the Golden Globes. The 71-year-old actor, known for his role as Mr. Big in the iconic series Sex and the City, subtly criticized Parker after she received the Carol Burnett Award at a ceremony held on January 8, 2024.
Noth’s actions come in the wake of a tumultuous period in his career, which was significantly impacted by allegations of sexual assault made against him in 2021. These accusations, made by two women regarding incidents in 2004 and 2015, were categorically denied by Noth, who has not appeared in any film or television project since the claims surfaced. Despite the lack of criminal charges, the allegations have left a lasting mark on his professional reputation.
During the Golden Globes Eve ceremony, Parker delivered an emotional acceptance speech, expressing gratitude for working alongside a “glorious ensemble of women and actors” throughout her time on Sex and the City. Noth, however, seemed unfazed by the celebration. Earlier this week, he posted a photo of himself at the gym with the caption, “F&@k New Years – LET’S GO!”
In a comment section interaction, a fan provocatively suggested that Noth’s sentiment was directed at Parker, to which he replied, “Right.” This admission led to a flurry of reactions online, with fans expressing confusion and curiosity about the apparent rift.
While Noth’s post has sparked considerable discussion, the nature of his grievances with Parker remains unclear. The tension is not entirely new; following the sexual assault allegations in 2021, Parker, along with fellow cast members Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, released a joint statement expressing their support for the women who came forward. They stated, “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences.”
As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Noth will further clarify his feelings towards Parker or if this social media exchange will lead to deeper public discourse regarding their past collaboration and the implications of the allegations surrounding him.
